sequential_thinking
An advanced tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through structured thoughts. Args: thought: The content of the current thought thought_number: Current position in the sequence total_thoughts: Expected total number of thoughts next_thought_needed: Whether another thought should follow stage: Current thinking stage (e.g., "Problem Definition", "Analysis") is_revision: Whether this revises a previous thought revises_thought: Number of thought being revised branch_from_thought: Starting point for a new thought branch branch_id: Identifier for the current branch needs_more_thoughts: Whether additional thoughts are needed score: Quality score (0.0 to 1.0) tags: Categories or labels for the thought Returns: JSON string containing thought analysis and metadata
get_thinking_summary
Generate a comprehensive summary of the entire thinking process. Returns: JSON string containing analysis of thought history
clear_thinking_history
Clear all recorded thoughts and reset the server state. Returns: Confirmation message

Sequential Thinking MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that facilitates structured, progressive thinking through defined stages. This tool helps break down complex problems into sequential thoughts, track the progression of your thinking process, and generate summaries.

Features
- Structured Thinking Framework: Organizes thoughts through standard cognitive stages (Problem Definition, Research, Analysis, Synthesis, Conclusion)
- Thought Tracking: Records and manages sequential thoughts with metadata
- Related Thought Analysis: Identifies connections between similar thoughts
- Progress Monitoring: Tracks your position in the overall thinking sequence
- Summary Generation: Creates concise overviews of the entire thought process
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11 or higher
- UV package manager (Install Guide)

Claude Desktop Integration
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"sequential-thinking": {
"command": "uv",

"--directory",
"C:\\path\\to\\your\\mcp-sequential-thinking\\mcp_sequential_thinking",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
How It Works
The server maintains a history of thoughts and processes them through a structured workflow. Each thought is validated, categorized, and stored with relevant metadata for later analysis.
Usage Guide
The Sequential Thinking server exposes three main tools:
1. process_thought
Records and analyzes a new thought in your sequential thinking process.
Parameters:
thought
(string): The content of your thoughtthought_number
(integer): Position in your sequence (e.g., 1 for first thought)total_thoughts
(integer): Expected total thoughts in the sequencenext_thought_needed
(boolean): Whether more thoughts are needed after this onestage
(string): The thinking stage - must be one of:- "Problem Definition"
- "Research"
- "Analysis"
- "Synthesis"
- "Conclusion"
tags
(list of strings, optional): Keywords or categories for your thoughtaxioms_used
(list of strings, optional): Principles or axioms applied in your thoughtassumptions_challenged
(list of strings, optional): Assumptions your thought questions or challenges
Example:
# First thought in a 5-thought sequence
process_thought(
thought="The problem of climate change requires analysis of multiple factors including emissions, policy, and technology adoption.",
thought_number=1,
total_thoughts=5,
next_thought_needed=True,
stage="Problem Definition",
tags=["climate", "global policy", "systems thinking"],
axioms_used=["Complex problems require multifaceted solutions"],
assumptions_challenged=["Technology alone can solve climate change"]
)
2. generate_summary
Generates a summary of your entire thinking process.
Example output:
{
"summary": {
"totalThoughts": 5,
"stages": {
"Problem Definition": 1,
"Research": 1,
"Analysis": 1,
"Synthesis": 1,
"Conclusion": 1
},
"timeline": [
{"number": 1, "stage": "Problem Definition"},
{"number": 2, "stage": "Research"},
{"number": 3, "stage": "Analysis"},
{"number": 4, "stage": "Synthesis"},
{"number": 5, "stage": "Conclusion"}
]
}
}
3. clear_history
Resets the thinking process by clearing all recorded thoughts.
Practical Applications
- Decision Making: Work through important decisions methodically
- Problem Solving: Break complex problems into manageable components
- Research Planning: Structure your research approach with clear stages
- Writing Organization: Develop ideas progressively before writing
- Project Analysis: Evaluate projects through defined analytical stages
Getting Started
With the proper MCP setup, simply use the process_thought
tool to begin working through your thoughts in sequence. As you progress, you can get an overview with generate_summary
and reset when needed with clear_history
.
Customizing the Sequential Thinking Server
For detailed examples of how to customize and extend the Sequential Thinking server, see example.md. It includes code samples for:
- Modifying thinking stages
- Enhancing thought data structures
- Adding persistence
- Implementing enhanced analysis
- Creating custom prompts
