MCP Reasoner

What is MCP Reasoner?

MCP Reasoner is a systematic reasoning server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for use with Claude Desktop. It provides beam search and thought evaluation capabilities to help break down and solve problems that require structured, step‑by‑step thinking.

How to use MCP Reasoner?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, build with npm run build, then add the server’s path to your Claude Desktop configuration under mcpServers. Once configured, you can invoke the reasoner within Claude for mathematical problems, logical puzzles, or any complex decomposition task.
