## what it does

tl;dr: one tool. The host should call it repeatedly (thoughtNumber, nextThoughtNeeded, optional revision/branch fields). README: you do not usually invoke it by hand.

Install

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

Windows: wrap with cmd /c as in the official README. Docker: mcp/sequentialthinking. Set DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING=true to stop logging thought text.

npm: @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking. Related: Memory MCP.
