# MCP Think Tool Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementing the "think" tool for improving Claude's complex reasoning capabilities.
## Overview
This MCP server implements the "think" tool as described in Anthropic's [blog post](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-think-tool), which provides Claude with a dedicated space for structured thinking during complex problem-solving tasks. The think tool has been shown to significantly improve performance in complex tasks requiring policy adherence and reasoning in long chains of tool calls.
## Features
- **Structured Thinking Space**: Provides Claude with a dedicated place to break down complex problems
- **Thought History**: Maintains a log of all thoughts with timestamps for reference
- **Statistics and Analysis**: Offers metadata about thinking patterns
- **Clean Slate Option**: Allows clearing thought history when starting fresh
## Installation
Install from PyPI:
```bash
pip install mcp-think-tool
```
## Configuration

```json
"think": {
"command": "/home/xxx/.local/bin/mcp-think-tool",
"args": [],
"type": "stdio",
"pollingInterval": 30000,
"startupTimeout": 30000,
"restartOnFailure": true
}
```
The `command` field should point to the directory where you installed the python package using pip.
### Docker
You can install this MCP server with only the Dockerfile
First download the Dockerfile, navigate to its directory, and build the Docker image
````
docker build -t mcp-think-tool .
````
Then add the following configuration your MCP config file
````json
