MAXential Thinking tools (11, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
branchwrite actionCreate a new reasoning branch to explore an alternative path. Like git branches for thoughts.
close_branchClose a branch with an optional conclusion.
completeMark your thinking chain as complete with a final conclusion.
get_branchRetrieve complete details of a specific branch.
get_historyGet your thought history. Optionally filter by branch.
get_thoughtRetrieve a specific thought by its number.
list_branchesList all reasoning branches with their status and thought counts.
merge_branchMerge insights from a branch back into main. Strategies: conclusion_only, full_integration, summary
reviseRevise a previous thought. Use when you realize earlier thinking was flawed or incomplete.
switch_branchSwitch your active context to a different branch (or back to main).
thinkAdd a thought to your reasoning chain. Use this for step-by-step problem solving. The server automatically tracks thought numbers and history.

What the publisher says
From the MAXential Thinking repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
MAXential Thinking MCP
A structured, persistent reasoning workspace for AI. Provides 20 tools for building thought chains, exploring alternatives through branching, revising earlier thinking, searching reasoning history, and persisting sessions across context window resets and server restarts.
AI's built-in reasoning is ephemeral — when context windows fill, thinking gets compressed or lost. Complex problems need exploration of multiple approaches, backtracking when paths fail, and the ability to resume where you left off. MAXential externalizes reasoning into a workspace that persists, branches, and survives.
Origin
Forked from Anthropic's sequential-thinking MCP server, which provided a single tool with 9 parameters. Its schema included branching parameters (branchfromthought, branch_id) but had no tools to create, switch, or manage branches — the parameters were effectively inert.
MAXential replaced that single tool entirely and built 20 purpose-specific tools across three releases:
Tools
Core Thinking
Branching
Navigation
Organization
Session Persistence
Sessions are automatically persisted to SQLite as you work. Every think, branch, tag, and revise call writes through to disk in real time. Sessions survive server restarts, context window resets, and new conversations — pick up where you left off.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
