Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Thinking ToolsDebate this: should we rewrite the backend in Rust?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Thinking Tools 🧠
Five rigorous reasoning protocols for Claude & ChatGPT. Free, open-source, and zero extra credits — they run on the AI you're already talking to.
One MCP server. Works in both Claude and ChatGPT.
Tool | What it does |
| Convenes an expert panel derived from your question, argues it out (steelman → attack), then delivers a verdict with the strongest dissent preserved and what evidence would flip it |
| Steelmans your plan, then hunts hidden assumptions, failure modes, misuse, scaling breakpoints and single points of failure. 12-month pre-mortem. Risks ranked by likelihood × impact, each with the cheapest fix or a falsifying test |
| Reconstructs any text's argument, names quote-anchored fallacies, biases and rhetoric, shows what evidence is missing — and rates argument quality and conclusion truth separately |
| Defensive STRIDE review: assets, actors, trust boundaries, data flows → rated threats, each with a named, located control. Hardening only, never exploits |
| Extracts design/N/baseline/effect size/CI/p from a study or statistic; flags p-hacking, missing controls, survivorship bias, relative-risk inflation; verdict separates weak study from false claim |
How it's free
The server runs no AI. Each tool returns an expert-designed protocol as plain text; your own Claude/ChatGPT reads it and does the reasoning in the same turn. No API key, no second bill.
That's also why you invoke it explicitly ("Debate this: ..."). An MCP server can't intercept your
message before the AI sees it — that's a platform rule, not a missing feature.

Design principles baked into every protocol
Steelman before attacking — never critique a weaker version than you'd defend
Quote before accusing — no quote, no fallacy claim
Never fake consensus — dissent is preserved, split verdicts are reported as split
Invent nothing — no fabricated stats, sources, or citations; uncertain recall is labelled
Separate "bad argument" from "false conclusion" — a bad argument can have a true conclusion
