mcp-sequentialthinking-tools

Overview

mcp-sequentialthinking-tools is a lightweight MCP server designed for tasks that benefit from explicit, inspectable reasoning. It acts as a scratchpad with history, branching capabilities, and revision metadata. The server does not discover other MCP tools but can validate model-recommended tool plans against a supplied list. It's particularly useful for breaking complex problems into steps, revising plans, maintaining reasoning history during long agent runs, and validating tool plan names against available tools.
