Sequential Thinking MCP Server

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

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

Facilitates 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 designed 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

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequential-thinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequentialthinking": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "mcp/sequentialthinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To disable logging of thought information set env var: DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING to true. Comment

For quick installation, click one of the installation buttons below...

For manual installation, you can configure the MCP server using one of these methods:

Method 1: User Configuration (Recommended) Add the configuration to your user-level MCP configuration file. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and run MCP: Open User Configuration. This will open your user mcp.json file where you can add the server configuration.

Method 2: Workspace Configuration Alternatively, you can add the configuration to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

For more details about MCP configuration in VS Code, see the official VS Code MCP documentation.

For NPX installation:

{
  "servers": {
    "sequential-thinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Docker installation:

{
  "servers": {
    "sequential-thinking": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "mcp/sequentialthinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}
