The MCP Reasoner server provides advanced reasoning capabilities for Claude Desktop through multiple strategies:
- Utilize either Beam Search or Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for different complexity levels
- Process sequential reasoning steps with thought tracking (thoughtNumber, totalThoughts, nextThoughtNeeded)
- Solve mathematical problems and logical puzzles through step-by-step analysis
- Analyze complex decision spaces and optimize strategies
- Evaluate thoughts based on mathematical expressions and logical connectors
- Manage tree-based reasoning paths with statistical monitoring
- Select reasoning strategy via input parameters
Mentioned specifically as a benchmark where the MCTS strategy helped Claude perform well, scoring 6/10 on the public test versus 3/10 with beam search
MCP Reasoner
A systematic reasoning MCP server implementation for Claude Desktop featuring both Beam Search and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) capabilities.
Features
- Dual search strategies:
- Beam search with configurable width
- MCTS for complex decision spaces
- Thought scoring and evaluation
- Tree-based reasoning paths
- Statistical analysis of reasoning process
- MCP protocol compliance
Installation
Configuration
Add to Claude Desktop config:
Search Strategies
Beam Search
- Maintains fixed-width set of most promising paths
- Optimal for step-by-step reasoning
- Best for: Mathematical problems, logical puzzles
Monte Carlo Tree Search
- Simulation-based exploration of decision space
- Balances exploration and exploitation
- Best for: Complex problems with uncertain outcomes
Note: Monte Carlo Tree Search allowed Claude to perform really well on the Arc AGI benchmark (scored 6/10 on the public test), whereas beam search yielded a (3/10) on the same puzzles. For super complex tasks, you'd want to direct Claude to utilize the MCTS strategy over the beam search.
