# Think Tool MCP Implementation Plan
## Product Description
The Think Tool is a lightweight MCP utility designed to help users record, retrieve, and analyze thoughts during development or problem-solving sessions. It provides an in-memory thought storage system with timestamp tracking and basic analytics capabilities.
### Core Features
- Record timestamped thoughts
- Retrieve all recorded thoughts
- Clear thought history
- Generate thought statistics (count, average length, timeline)
### Technical Specifications
- Implementation Language: TypeScript
- Storage: In-memory (non-persistent)
- Protocol: MCP (Message Control Protocol)
- Module Type: ESM (ECMAScript Modules)
## Implementation Checklist
### 1. Project Setup and Type Definitions ✅
- [x] Create MCP type definitions (`src/types/mcp.ts`)
- [x] Define `MCPRequest` interface
- [x] Define `MCPResponse` interface
- [x] Ensure proper TypeScript configuration
### 2. Core Implementation ✅
- [x] Create Think Tool implementation (`src/mcp/think.ts`)
- [x] Define `Thought` interface
- [x] Define `ThoughtStats` interface
- [x] Implement `ThinkTool` class
- [x] Add memory storage for thoughts
- [x] Implement timestamp generation
- [x] Add type-safe request handling
### 3. Command Implementation ✅
- [x] Implement `think` command
- [x] Add parameter validation
- [x] Implement thought storage
- [x] Add success/error responses
- [x] Implement `get_thoughts` command
- [x] Add safe array copying
- [x] Implement response formatting
- [x] Implement `clear_thoughts` command
- [x] Add memory cleanup
- [x] Implement success response
- [x] Implement `get_thought_stats` command
- [x] Add statistics calculation
- [x] Implement null handling
- [x] Add response formatting
### 4. Integration ✅
- [x] Update MCP index file (`src/mcp/index.ts`)
- [x] Add Think Tool export
- [x] Ensure proper module paths
- [x] Verify ESM compatibility
### 5. Documentation ✅
- [x] Create comprehensive README (`src/mcp/README.md`)
- [x] Add command documentation
- [x] Include workflow diagrams
- [x] Add error handling documentation
- [x] Include example usage
- [x] Document security considerations
- [x] Add performance characteristics
### 6. Testing Plan ✅
- [x] Unit Tests
- [x] Test thought recording
- [x] Test thought retrieval
- [x] Test thought clearing
- [x] Test statistics calculation
- [x] Test error handling
- [x] Integration Tests
- [x] Test MCP protocol compliance
- [x] Test response formatting
- [x] Test edge cases
### 7. Future Enhancements (Backlog)
- [ ] Add thought categories/tags
- [ ] Implement thought search
- [ ] Add persistent storage option
- [ ] Implement thought export
- [ ] Add thought editing capability
- [ ] Implement thought prioritization
## Security Considerations
1. Input Validation
- All thought content is validated
- Parameters are type-checked
- Error messages are sanitized
2. Memory Management
- In-memory storage with no persistence
- Clear memory on server restart
- No sensitive data storage
3. Access Control
- Relies on MCP server security
- No additional authentication layer
- No direct file system access
## Performance Targets
- Thought Recording: O(1)
- Thought Retrieval: O(1)
- Statistics Calculation: O(n)
- Memory Usage: Linear growth
- Response Time: < 50ms for all operations
## Success Metrics
1. Functionality
- All commands work as documented
- Error handling covers all edge cases
- Type safety is maintained
2. Code Quality
- Follows TypeScript best practices
- Maintains MCP protocol standards
- Passes all linter checks
3. Documentation
- Complete API documentation
- Clear usage examples
- Comprehensive workflow diagrams
## Review Checklist
- [x] Code follows project structure
- [x] All features implemented
- [x] Documentation complete
- [x] Error handling in place
- [x] Type definitions accurate
- [x] Tests written and passing
- [x] Performance requirements met
- [x] Security considerations addressed
