Attio MCP Server

# Clear Thought MCP Tools Documentation ## Overview The Clear Thought MCP Server provides advanced reasoning and problem-solving tools that enhance the development process through systematic thinking approaches. These tools are integrated into the Attio MCP Server development workflow to improve code quality, decision-making, and problem analysis. ## Available Tools ### Sequential Thinking Tools #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__sequentialthinking` **Purpose**: Dynamic and reflective problem-solving through structured thought chains. **When to Use**: - Breaking down complex problems into steps - Planning and design with room for revision - Analysis that might need course correction - Problems where the full scope isn't initially clear - Multi-step solutions requiring context maintenance ### Mental Models #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__mentalmodel` **Purpose**: Apply structured mental models to problem-solving. **Available Models**: - **First Principles Thinking**: Break down complex problems to fundamental truths - **Opportunity Cost Analysis**: Evaluate trade-offs and alternatives - **Error Propagation Understanding**: Analyze how errors spread through systems - **Rubber Duck Debugging**: Systematic explanation to identify issues - **Pareto Principle**: Focus on high-impact activities - **Occam's Razor**: Prefer simpler explanations and solutions ### Design Patterns #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__designpattern` **Purpose**: Apply software design patterns to architecture and implementation. **Available Patterns**: - **Modular Architecture**: Organize code into independent modules - **API Integration Patterns**: Handle external API interactions - **State Management**: Manage application state effectively - **Asynchronous Processing**: Handle async operations - **Scalability Considerations**: Design for growth - **Security Best Practices**: Implement secure patterns - **Agentic Design Patterns**: Design for AI agent interactions ### Programming Paradigms #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__programmingparadigm` **Purpose**: Apply different programming paradigms to solve problems. ### Debugging Approaches #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__debuggingapproach` **Purpose**: Systematic debugging methodologies. **Available Approaches**: - **Binary Search**: Divide and conquer problem space - **Reverse Engineering**: Work backward from symptoms - **Divide and Conquer**: Break problems into smaller parts - **Backtracking**: Systematic trial and error - **Cause Elimination**: Systematically eliminate possible causes - **Program Slicing**: Focus on relevant code sections ### Decision Framework #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__decisionframework` **Purpose**: Structured decision analysis and rational choice. ### Scientific Method #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__scientificmethod` **Purpose**: Apply formal scientific reasoning to problems. ### Structured Argumentation #### `mcp__clear-thought-server__structuredargumentation` **Purpose**: Systematic dialectical reasoning and argument analysis. ## Integration with Attio MCP Server Development ### Problem-Solving Workflow 1. **Problem Analysis**: Use mental models (First Principles, Error Propagation) 2. **Architecture Planning**: Apply design patterns for system design 3. **Implementation Strategy**: Choose appropriate programming paradigms 4. **Debugging**: Use systematic debugging approaches 5. **Documentation/Synthesis**: Use sequential thinking for comprehensive analysis ### Enhanced Testing with Clear Thought #### Pre-Test Analysis - Use mental models (Error Propagation) to understand failure modes - Apply scientific method for test hypothesis formation #### Test Strategy - Use debugging approaches (Program Slicing) for focused testing - Apply decision framework for test prioritization #### Failure Analysis - Use sequential thinking for systematic failure investigation - Apply debugging approaches for root cause analysis ## Examples in Practice ### Test Cleanup Strategy (Issue #319) **Tools Used**: - Sequential thinking for comprehensive analysis - Mental models (First Principles) for understanding test purpose - Decision framework for test retention/removal decisions
