# β
MCP Server Updated - Vision Capabilities Removed
## π Changes Made
### What Was Removed
- β **analyze_image** tool (multi-perspective image analysis)
- β **describe_image** tool (quick image descriptions)
- β Image processing code and dependencies
- β `maxIterations` configuration parameter
- β File system operations for local images
### What Remains
- β
**think** tool - Deep analytical thinking and strategic guidance
- β
Full Claude Sonnet 4 integration
- β
Docker auto-restart functionality
- β
Bun runtime for fast execution
- β
Streamlined, focused functionality
## π Rationale
**Why remove vision capabilities?**
- Cursor IDE's `read_file` tool already supports image analysis
- No need for duplicate functionality
- Simpler, more focused MCP server
- Faster execution and smaller codebase
- Reduced API costs (no image tokens)
## β
Current Status
### Docker Container
```
β
Running on port 8080
β
Using Bun runtime
β
Container name: claude-vision-mcp-server
β
Status: Healthy
β
Configuration: 2 fields (1 required)
```
### MCP Server
```
β
Name: Claude Deep Think
β
Version: 1.0.0
β
Tools: 1 (think)
β
Built successfully
β
Pushed to GitHub
```
### Cursor Configuration
```json
{
"Claude Deep Think (Docker)": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_KEY&model=claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
}
}
```
## π§ͺ Testing the Think Tool
### **IMPORTANT: Restart Cursor IDE First!**
The configuration has changed, so you **must restart Cursor** for it to recognize the updated server.
### Test Prompt
Open **Cursor Composer Agent** and try:
```
Use the think tool to analyze:
"What are the key considerations when choosing between REST API and GraphQL for a new web application?"
Context: Building a SaaS product with mobile and web clients
```
**Expected Output**: Detailed analysis with pros, cons, trade-offs, and recommendations.
## π Comparison
### Before (3 Tools)
| Tool | Purpose | Tokens |
|------|---------|--------|
| think | Text analysis | ~500-2000 |
| analyze_image | Multi-perspective vision | ~5000-15000 |
| describe_image | Quick vision | ~1000-3000 |
### After (1 Tool)
| Tool | Purpose | Tokens |
|------|---------|--------|
| think | Deep analytical thinking | ~500-2000 |
**Result**: ~80% reduction in complexity, same core analytical capability.
## π― What the Think Tool Does
The `think` tool provides:
- β
Deep contextual analysis
- β
Strategic recommendations
- β
Best practices identification
- β
Alternative approach suggestions
- β
Problem-solving guidance
- β
Architecture planning insights
- β
Technical decision support
## π How to Use
### Step 1: Restart Cursor IDE
**Critical**: Close all Cursor windows and reopen.
### Step 2: Verify Connection
1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P`
2. Select "Tools & MCP"
3. Look for "**Claude Deep Think (Docker)**"
4. Should show β
Connected with **1 tool**
### Step 3: Use in Composer
```
Use the think tool to [your question/problem]
Optional: Add context about your specific situation
```
## π‘ Example Use Cases
### 1. Technical Decisions
```
Use the think tool: Should I use TypeScript or JavaScript for my Next.js project?
Context: Team of 5, building e-commerce platform
```
### 2. Architecture Planning
```
Use the think tool: How should I structure my microservices architecture?
Context: 3 main services, need high availability, PostgreSQL database
```
### 3. Problem Solving
```
Use the think tool: What's the best way to handle real-time notifications?
Context: 50K users, need instant updates, React frontend
```
### 4. Code Review
```
Use the think tool: Review this authentication strategy
Context: Using JWT tokens, concerned about security
```
### 5. Performance Optimization
```
Use the think tool: How can I optimize my database queries?
Context: Slow API responses, complex joins, PostgreSQL
```
