Before you install MCP Sequential Thinking

AgenticMart scanned MCP Sequential Thinking on Nov 5, 2026 with automated checks for hidden code, known-malicious packages, leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies. The result covers one commit under our scan policy, so review what access you give it and check any advisories shown here.

What it can access

  • An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
  • Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.

Before you install

  1. Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
  2. Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
  3. Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
  • Maintained by arben-adm on GitHub, 959 stars and 118 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
  • Last code change: Oct 23, 2026.
  • Open-source license: MIT.

Tools MCP Sequential Thinking exposes (11)

Listed by the server itself during our scan of commit 95fdc0e.

  • create_session

    Start a local plaintext working log. No mandatory reasoning phases.

  • add_step

    Store one note with optional provenance or revision; URLs are not fetched.

  • list_sessions

    Find a previous session. Cursor is the last ID from the preceding page. version counts accepted mutations, not notes: it is the value to pass as expected_version, and says nothing about how many steps a session holds. Read the session to count those.

  • read_session

    Read bounded notes and caller-supplied completion; follow cursor for more. Every response names the view it used. Omitting view reads the resume view, or the steps view when kind, step_id or content_offset asks for a filter the resume view cannot apply; asking for both at on

  • finalize_session

    Store an explicit completion at the expected version; infer no conclusions.

  • delete_session

    Delete this session's active DB records; backups/exports survive. No secure erasure.

  • process_thought

    Record one thought in the sequential-thinking audit trail. Validates and stores the thought (stage name, revision/branch consistency, per-line uniqueness of thought_number), then returns structural analysis: stage-order warnings, thoughts that are lexically related to this one, and

  • generate_summary

    Summarize the recorded thinking process. Deprecated legacy workflow; prefer read_session for explicit sessions. Includes the actual thought content (excerpts per stage), aggregated challenged assumptions, open branches without a concluding thought, and revision chains, plus structu

  • clear_history

    Delete all active database records in the local legacy session. Exports and backups remain; this is not secure erasure. Export first if needed. Returns: Status message with the number of thoughts that were cleared.

  • export_session

    Export session_id to a file; omitted ID selects deprecated legacy format. Explicit sessions preserve IDs, branches, sources and completion in a worklog-session archive. Retry keys are excluded; use snapshots for full backup. file_path is confined to the storage directory's exports/

  • import_session

    Import a session archive with its matching session_id; existing IDs conflict. Omitted session_id uses deprecated legacy import, REPLACING legacy history. Explicit archives preserve IDs and do not restore retry keys. file_path is confined to the storage directory's exports/ subdirec
