Sequential Thinking MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides sequential thinking and problem-solving tools for systematic analysis and planning.

Features

This MCP server provides four powerful tools for structured thinking:

$3

Apply a systematic methodology to solve complex problems step-by-step with structured analysis phases.

$3

Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable components across multiple levels of detail.

$3

Analyze problems using proven frameworks:
- SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
- Pros/Cons Analysis: Weighted decision making
- Root Cause Analysis: 5 Whys and Fishbone diagrams
- Decision Tree Analysis: Probabilistic decision making

$3

Create detailed implementation plans with phases, milestones, and actionable tasks.

Installation

``bash
npm install -g sequential-thinking-mcp
`

Usage

$3

Add to your MCP client configuration:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sequential-thinking": {
"command": "sequential-thinking-mcp",
"args": []
}
}
}
`

$3

#### 1. Sequential Thinking
`javascript
{
"name": "sequential_thinking",
"arguments": {
"problem": "How to improve team productivity",
"context": "Remote team of 10 developers",
"constraints": ["Budget limited to $5000", "Must implement in 3 months"],
"goals": ["Increase productivity by 20%", "Improve team satisfaction"]
}
}
`

#### 2. Problem Breakdown
`javascript
{
"name": "problem_breakdown",
"arguments": {
"problem": "Implement new customer onboarding system",
"levels": 3
}
}
`

#### 3. Problem Analysis
`javascript
{
"name": "analyze_problem",
"arguments": {
"problem": "High customer churn rate",
"approach": "root-cause"
}
}
`

#### 4. Step-by-Step Planning
`javascript
{
"name": "step_by_step_plan",
"arguments": {
"task": "Launch new product feature",
"details": true
}
}
`

Analysis Frameworks

$3

- Strengths: Internal positive factors
- Weaknesses: Internal negative factors
- Opportunities: External positive factors
- Threats: External negative factors

$3

- 5 Whys: Drill down to root causes
- Fishbone Diagram: Categorize contributing factors

$3

- Probabilistic outcomes: Assign probabilities to different scenarios
- Expected value calculation: Make data-driven decisions

Example Output

The tools provide structured, actionable analysis in markdown format, including:
