Visum Thinker MCP Server

# Knowledge Transfer Guide Your **Visum Thinker MCP Server** now supports **full knowledge persistence and transfer** between servers and sessions! ## 🔄 **How Knowledge Persistence Works** ### Auto-Save Features - **Every thought** is automatically saved to disk - **PDF context** persists across server restarts - **State recovery** happens automatically on startup - **Local storage** in `.thinking-storage/thinking-state.json` ### Knowledge Transfer - **Export** your complete knowledge base - **Import** to any other Sequential Thinking server - **Backup** your thinking sessions - **Share** knowledge with collaborators ## 📦 **Export/Import Workflow** ### Step 1: Export Your Knowledge ```json { "tool": "export_knowledge", "arguments": { "exportPath": "/Users/uovo/Documents/my-research-session.json" } } ``` **This exports:** - ✅ All thinking thoughts and progression - ✅ PDF content and metadata - ✅ Thinking session state - ✅ Export timestamp and version info ### Step 2: Transfer the File Move the exported JSON file to your new server: ```bash # Copy to another machine scp my-research-session.json user@newserver:/path/to/destination/ # Copy to cloud storage cp my-research-session.json ~/Dropbox/thinking-sessions/ # Email, USB, whatever works for you ``` ### Step 3: Import on New Server ```json { "tool": "import_knowledge", "arguments": { "importPath": "/path/to/my-research-session.json" } } ``` **This restores:** - ✅ Complete thinking history - ✅ PDF context (no need to reload PDF!) - ✅ Session progress and status - ✅ Ready to continue where you left off ## 🌟 **Use Cases** ### 📚 **Academic Collaboration** ```bash 1. Student exports analysis of research paper 2. Professor imports to review thinking process 3. Professor adds thoughts and exports back 4. Collaborative learning and feedback ``` ### 💼 **Team Problem Solving** ```bash 1. Team member A analyzes business document 2. Exports thinking session with insights 3. Team member B imports and continues analysis 4. Knowledge builds incrementally across team ``` ### 🖥️ **Multi-Device Workflow** ```bash 1. Start analysis on laptop (home) 2. Export knowledge session 3. Continue on desktop (office) 4. Move seamlessly between environments ``` ### 🔄 **Backup & Recovery** ```bash 1. Regular exports as "thinking backups" 2. Server crashes? No problem! 3. Import last backup and continue 4. Never lose your analysis progress ``` ## 📁 **File Structure** ### Local Storage ``` sequential_thinking/ ├── .thinking-storage/ │ └── thinking-state.json # Auto-saved state ├── build/ └── src/ ``` ### Export File Format ```json { "thoughts": [...], "currentThoughtNumber": 5, "totalThoughts": 8, "isComplete": false, "pdfContext": { "filename": "research-paper.pdf", "content": "full PDF text...", "pageCount": 25, "loadedAt": "2025-07-20T..." }, "exportedAt": "2025-07-20T...", "serverVersion": "1.0.0" } ``` ## 🛡️ **Best Practices** ### 📋 **Regular Exports** - Export after major thinking milestones - Use descriptive filenames: `research-methodology-analysis.json` - Date your exports: `project-analysis-2025-07-20.json` ### 🗂️ **Organization** ```bash ~/thinking-exports/ ├── research-projects/ │ ├── paper1-analysis.json │ └── paper2-critique.json ├── business-analysis/ │ ├── q3-report-review.json │ └── competitor-analysis.json └── learning-sessions/ ├── machine-learning-textbook-ch3.json └── statistics-problem-set.json ``` ### 🔄 **Version Control** - Keep multiple versions of complex analyses - Name with progress indicators: `analysis-v1-initial.json`, `analysis-v2-revised.json` - Export before major revisions or branching ### 🤝 **Sharing** - Clean up sensitive paths before sharing - Include README with context when sharing - Version control collaborative exports ## ⚡ **Migration Scenarios** ### 🖥️ **New Server Setup** ```bash 1. Install Sequential Thinking server on new machine 2. Import your knowledge file 3. Instantly ready with all PDF context and thinking history ``` ### 🔄 **Server Updates** ```bash 1. Export knowledge before updating server 2. Update server software 3. Import knowledge to restore state 4. Continue with enhanced capabilities ``` ### 💾 **Backup Strategy** ```bash # Daily backup script export_knowledge → daily-backup-$(date).json # Weekly archive export_knowledge → weekly-archive-$(date).json # Project milestones export_knowledge → project-phase1-complete.json ``` ## 🎯 **Pro Tips** 1. **Auto-Recovery**: Server remembers everything automatically 2. **Clean Exports**: Export includes full PDF text - no external files needed 3. **Cross-Platform**: JSON exports work on any system 4. **Incremental**: Import overwrites current state, so export first if needed 5. **Collaboration**: Perfect for peer review and team analysis Your knowledge is now **truly portable** - analyze anywhere, continue everywhere! 🚀
