This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate structured, sequential thinking for complex problem-solving and decision-making. It targets individuals and teams needing to break down challenges into defined cognitive stages, track thought progression, and generate summaries, offering a systematic approach to complex tasks.

How It Works

The server processes thoughts through a structured workflow, validating each entry using Pydantic models. Thoughts are categorized into predefined cognitive stages (Problem Definition, Research, Analysis, Synthesis, Conclusion) and stored with metadata in a thread-safe persistence layer using portalocker. It automatically handles data persistence, backup creation, and offers tools for analyzing relationships between thoughts.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: uv venv, activate, then uv pip install -e . for development.
• Run: uv run -m mcp_sequential_thinking.server or mcp-sequential-thinking.
• Prerequisites: Python 3.10+, UV package manager.
• Claude Desktop Integration: Configuration details provided in the README for seamless integration.
• Docs: example.md for customization.
