Sequential Thinking MCP

Model Context Protocol Integration

Overview

An MCP server implementation that provides a tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through a structured thinking process. Break down complex problems into manageable steps, revise and refine thoughts as understanding deepens, and branch into alternative paths of reasoning.

Sequential Thinking Use Cases

  • •Breaking down complex problems into steps
  • •Planning and design with room for revision
