What it does

A reference server that lets an assistant break a problem into a structured, revisable chain of thoughts, improving how it works through complex tasks.

Like any MCP server, Sequential Thinking plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
