Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Autonomous research agent for hard problems that labels every claim verified, assumption or guess.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: THINKERWAVE_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: THINKERWAVE_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinkerwave": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "thinkerwave-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "THINKERWAVE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add thinkerwave --env THINKERWAVE_API_KEY=your-value -- uvx thinkerwave-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinkerwave": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "thinkerwave-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "THINKERWAVE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "thinkerwave": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "thinkerwave-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "THINKERWAVE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • THINKERWAVE_API_KEY secret required env
    Your ThinkerWave API key (thinkerwave.ai/app → Settings → API keys)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is ThinkerWave 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?

You need to fill in: THINKERWAVE_API_KEY

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 (0.1.2) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ThinkerWave

An autonomous research agent for problems without a single right answer — credit risk stress tests, pricing and churn, market entry, due diligence, drug program selection.

You give it the problem and the facts you're sure of. It researches, runs the numbers, checks its own work and tries again, round after round, keeping the best answer. You get the answer, how confident it is, and the evidence behind each claim — verified, assumption or guess — plus any charts and tables it produced.

pip install thinkerwave

export THINKERWAVE_API_KEY=tw_live_… # create one at thinkerwave.ai/app → Settings → API keys tw run "Should we raise prices 15%, 8%, or hold? 1,200 customers at \$85/month, 3.1% monthly churn." \ --given "last 8% increase spiked churn to 4.6% for three months" --rounds 6 --watch

From Claude Code or Cursor: pip install "thinkerwave[mcp]", then claude mcp add thinkerwave -- thinkerwave-mcp — your coding assistant can now hand ThinkerWave a hard question and read back the evidence.

From Python: see examples/.

What's in this repo: the Python SDK, the tw command line, an MCP server, the API reference and the answer/evidence format. ThinkerWave itself runs in ThinkerWave's cloud; this repository is the way in, not the engine.

Free runs are included with every account. Limits: docs/limits.md. Found a problem it got wrong? Open an issue with the run id.
