🧭 Usage Guide
🚀 Quick Start
- 🔽 Installation: Install MCP Chain of Thought via Smithery or manually
- 🏁 Initial Setup: Tell the Agent "init project rules" to establish project-specific guidelines
- 📝 Plan Tasks: Use "plan task [description]" to create a development plan
- 👀 Review & Feedback: Provide feedback during the planning process
- ▶️ Execute Tasks: Use "execute task [name/ID]" to implement a specific task
- 🔄 Continuous Mode: Say "continuous mode" to process all tasks sequentially
🔍 Memory & Thinking Features
- 💾 Task Memory: Automatically saves execution history for reference
- 🔄 Thought Chain: Enables systematic reasoning through
process_thought tool - 📋 Project Rules: Maintains consistency across your codebase
🔧 Installation
🔽 Via Smithery
npx -y @smithery/cli install @liorfranko/mcp-chain-of-thought --client claude
🔽 Manual Installation
npm install
