Advanced cognitive thinking MCP server with DAG-based thought graph, multiple reasoning strategies, metacognition, and self-evaluation. A significant evolution beyond sequential-thinking MCP, providing structured deep reasoning with graph-based thought management. Features DAG-Based Thought Graph — Thoughts form a directed acyclic graph with branching, merging, and cross-edges (not just a linear chain) 5 Reasoning Strategies — Sequential, Dialectic (thesis→antithesis→synthesis), Parallel, Analogical, Abductive (inference to best explanation) Confidence Scoring — Multi-factor confidence evaluation with support/contradiction analysis, depth penalties, and knowledge integration boosts Self-Critique — Automatic critique generation with severity levels and confidence adjustments Metacognitive Engine — Detects stuck states, stagnation, declining confidence; suggests strategy switches and corrective actions Knowledge Integration — Attach external knowledge to thoughts, detect gaps, validate consistency across sources Thought Pruning — Dead-end detection, redundancy removal, deep unproductive branch elimination, path optimization
