MCP.Pizza Chef: arben-adm

This gives the assistant a place to record each step of its reasoning, tagged by stage: defining the problem, researching, analysing, pulling things together, and concluding. It can go back and revise an earlier step, branch off to try a different line of argument, notice which thoughts relate to each other, and produce a summary at the end. Sessions are written to a file on your own computer and survive a crash. Free, no account, and it runs in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf.

Prerequisites

mcp-sequential-thinking FAQ

Do I need a key or an account?
No. It runs entirely on your own computer and stores everything in a local file.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf, plus anything else that accepts a small settings block.
Can I use this to work through a big decision?
Yes. It walks the assistant through defining the problem, gathering facts, weighing options, and writing a conclusion, and you can send it back to redo a step.
What do I need installed first?
Python 3.10 or newer and the uv tool, which the project links an install guide for.
Is my thinking saved anywhere online?
No. Sessions are written to a plain file on your machine, and you can export or import them yourself.
Does it make the assistant smarter?
It does not change the model. It gives the assistant a structure to follow and a record of its own steps, so it can revisit and correct them.
