Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{

    "thinkstep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/thinkstep",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add thinkstep -- npx -y @reneturcios/thinkstep mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinkstep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/thinkstep",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

  "servers": {
    "thinkstep": {

Common questions

Is Thinkstep safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 10 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

thinkstep

Think in steps, out loud, with a server keeping the thread.

Some problems do not yield to a single pass. You form a first idea, poke at it, realise the second step contradicts the first, double back, try a different route from an earlier point, and only then see the shape of the answer. thinkstep is the notebook for that process: an MCP server with one tool, sequentialthinking, that records a chain of thoughts one step at a time and keeps the whole history — revisions and side branches included — straight for you.

Each call adds one thought. You say where you are (thoughtNumber), roughly how far you think you have to go (totalThoughts), and whether you need another step. If the chain outgrows your estimate, the server raises the total for you instead of complaining. When a step rethinks an earlier one, flag it as a revision and point at the thought it reconsiders. When you want to explore a different route without losing the main line, fork a named branch from an earlier thought; every response lists the branch ids created so far, so you always know which threads are open.

State lives in the server process for the length of the session. Nothing is written to disk, nothing leaves the machine, and closing the session closes the notebook.

Usage

MCP server

npx @reneturcios/thinkstep mcp

MCP client config:

"mcpServers": { "thinkstep": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/thinkstep", "mcp"] } } }

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/thinkstep          # stdio MCP server (default command is "mcp")

docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/thinkstep --version

The tool

`sequentialthinking`

Record one thinking step and get back a summary of the chain.

parameter	type	required	meaning
`thought`	string	yes	Your current thinking step
`nextThoughtNeeded`	boolean	yes	Whether another thought step is needed
`thoughtNumber`	integer	yes	Current thought number (numeric value, e.g., 1, 2, 3)
`totalThoughts`	integer	yes	Estimated total thoughts needed (numeric value, e.g., 5, 10)
`isRevision`	boolean	no	Whether this revises a previous thought
`revisesThought`	integer	no	Which thought is being reconsidered
`branchFromThought`	integer	no	Branching point thought number
`branchId`	string	no	Branch identifier
`needsMoreThoughts`	boolean	no	If more thoughts are needed

A branch is tracked when a thought carries both branchFromThought and branchId. A revision is recorded with isRevision: true and revisesThought set to the number of the thought it rethinks; the original stays in the history.

Every accepted thought returns a JSON summary:

"thoughtNumber": 2, "totalThoughts": 5, "nextThoughtNeeded": true, "branches": ["cheaper-route"], "thoughtHistoryLength": 4 }

thoughtNumber / totalThoughts — where the chain stands. If thoughtNumber exceeds the estimated totalThoughts, the total is raised to thoughtNumber.
nextThoughtNeeded — whether the chain continues. Sending needsMoreThoughts: true also reports this as true.
branches — the id of every branch created so far, in creation order.
thoughtHistoryLength — how many thoughts the server has recorded, including this one.

Missing or mistyped fields are refused with an error result (isError) naming the offending field; nothing is recorded for a rejected call.
