Mcp.ProcessThought

A standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a single tool, process_thought, for recording structured, evolvable reasoning steps. It is packaged as a .NET global tool.

This server was extracted from Mcp.TaskAndResearch so the reasoning tool can be installed and run on its own, without the task-management, storage, or web-UI dependencies.

Install

dotnet tool install --global Mcp.ProcessThought

This installs the mcp-process-thought command.

The process_thought tool

Records one step in a chain of reasoning and returns a formatted prompt that guides the next step. Parameters:

Parameter Type Required Description
thought string yes Thought content.
thought_number int yes Current thought number.
total_thoughts int yes Total number of thoughts (adjustable).
stage string yes Thinking stage (e.g., Analysis, Planning).
tags string[] no Tags describing the thought.
axioms_used string[] no Axioms or principles used.
assumptions_challenged string[] no Assumptions challenged.
next_thought_needed bool no Whether further thought is needed.

Client setup

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json) or Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "process-thought": {
      "command": "mcp-process-thought"
    }
  }
}

Customization

Prompt output can be tailored with environment variables:

  • DATA_DIR – directory holding template overrides, e.g. <DATA_DIR>/en/processThought/index.md.
  • TEMPLATES_USE – template set name (default en).
  • MCP_PROMPT_PROCESS_THOUGHT – fully replace the prompt.
  • MCP_PROMPT_PROCESS_THOUGHT_APPEND – append text to the prompt.
