An MCP server implementation for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through a structured thinking process.

Sequential Thinking MCP Server

Overview

The Sequential Thinking MCP Server is an implementation designed to facilitate dynamic and reflective problem-solving through a structured thinking process. It helps users break down complex problems into manageable steps, revise and refine thoughts, and generate solution hypotheses.

Features

  • Break down complex problems into manageable steps
  • Revise and refine thoughts as understanding deepens
  • Branch into alternative paths of reasoning
  • Adjust the total number of thoughts dynamically
  • Generate and verify solution hypotheses

Tool

sequential_thinking

This tool enables a detailed, step-by-step thinking process for problem-solving and analysis.

Inputs:

  • thought (string): The current thinking step
  • nextThoughtNeeded (boolean): Whether another thought step is needed
  • thoughtNumber (integer): Current thought number
  • totalThoughts (integer): Estimated total thoughts needed
  • isRevision (boolean, optional): Whether this revises previous thinking
  • revisesThought (integer, optional): Which thought is being reconsidered
  • branchFromThought (integer, optional): Branching point thought number
  • branchId (string, optional): Branch identifier
  • needsMoreThoughts (boolean, optional): If more thoughts are needed

Usage

The Sequential Thinking tool is ideal for:

  • Breaking down complex problems into steps
  • Planning and design with room for revision
  • Analysis that might need course correction
  • Problems where the full scope might not be clear initially
  • Tasks that need to maintain context over multiple steps
  • Situations where irrelevant information needs to be filtered out
