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., "@ASEKE Compass Engine MCP Server Analyze a situation where a coworker avoids collaboration after a failed project."
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.
Behavioral analysis tools grounded in Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience (1998), Duckitt & Sibley's Dual Process Model (2009), and the ASEKE framework (Hall).
Provides structured analytical patterns for understanding human behavior and intent through the lens of primary emotional systems, Information Structure capture, and transition dynamics.

Tool | Purpose |
| Catalog all 7 primary systems and 12 named patterns |
| Detailed info on a Panksepp system (neural basis, IS vulnerability, political bridge) |
| Detailed info on a named pattern (substrate, blind spots, leverage points) |
| Structured 5-step ASEKE analysis of any behavioral situation |
| Signal-based pattern matching against the 12-pattern library |
| Map system activation to DPM (RWA/SDO)* with timescale caveats |
*This tool uses the Dual Process Model (DPM) to map biological emotional systems to political psychology dimensions—specifically Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO).
System | Role | IS Vulnerability |
SEEKING | Curiosity, exploration, goal-pursuit | IS acquisition gateway — hooks curiosity first |
RAGE | Obstacle removal, boundary defense | Requires a target — demagogic IS provides one |
FEAR | Threat detection, escape | Primary authoritarian IS substrate (→ RWA) |
PANIC/GRIEF | Separation distress, bonding need | Desperate belonging-seeking — cults, movements recruit here |
CARE | Nurturing, protection | Circle width determines SDO axis position |
PLAY | Social joy, boundary-testing | Resistant to IS but weaponizable (trolling) |
LUST | Reproductive motivation | LUST+FEAR = purity politics |
12 named patterns synthesizing established research: Scapegoat Pivot, Coherence Timeout, Comfort Trap, Burnout Cascade, Algorithmic Escalation, Mirror Conflict, IS Competition, Institutional Mood, Virtue Fortress, Authority Transfer, Narrative Gravity Well, Identity Lock-In.

Empirical foundations: Panksepp (1998), Duckitt & Sibley (2009), Jost & Banaji (1994), Milgram (1963), Kahneman (2011), Sweller (1988), Kahan (2017), Russell (1980), and others.
Framework contributions: ASEKE (Hall) — IS capture of primary emotional system output via CE efficiency. EFHF (Hall) — lumpability, coherence windows. Boundary Conditions (Hall, 2026) — ethical behavior as structurally weaker boundary condition.
The seven primary emotional systems are established cross-species neuroscience. The pattern library synthesizes established findings into original analytical tools. See the companion SKILL.md for full analysis.
Tyler B. Hall — part of the ASEKE/EFHF research program.
Scaffold an ASEKE analysis of a behavior, situation, or conflict. Returns the 5-step framework scoped to the most plausible candidate patterns for THIS situation, plus the output discipline. Does not perform the analysis — the caller does, using this as the frame.
Inputs: description (required), context, timescale.
Given active primary emotional systems, assess probable political orientation tendencies via the Dual Process Model bridge (FEAR to RWA, CARE breadth to SDO, etc). Returns DPM tendencies with caveats about timescale and IS dependence.
Inputs: timescale (required), activeSystems (required), dominantSystem (required).
Get detailed information about a named behavioral pattern including substrate, recognition signals, blind spots, and leverage points.
Inputs: pattern (required).
Get detailed information about a Panksepp primary emotional system including neural basis, behavioral signature, CE demand, IS vulnerability profile, and political bridge.
Inputs: system (required).
List all available primary emotional systems and named behavioral patterns in the ASEKE framework.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Lexical prefilter over the pattern library. Given observed behavioural signals, returns the closest candidate patterns WITH their recognition text so the caller can judge fit. This is token overlap, not comprehension — treat results as a shortlist to verify, never as a verdict.
Inputs: signals (required), limit.

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: retrieving system info, retrieving pattern info, listing all entities, scaffolding analysis, matching patterns, and bridging to political orientation. Even get_pattern_info and match_patterns differ clearly (lookup by name vs. lexical search). No meaningful overlap exists.
Names follow a mostly consistent snake_case verb-first pattern (get, list, analyze, match, bridge). Minor deviations: 'list_all' omits a specific noun, and 'bridge_to_political' uses a prepositional phrase, but the overall style remains predictable and readable.
Six tools is well-scoped for a specialized framework engine. Each tool earns its place, and the count falls comfortably in the ideal 3-15 range, balancing coverage without bloat.
The tool set covers the full intended workflow: discovering resources (list_all), retrieving detailed info (get_system_info, get_pattern_info), applying the framework (analyze_behavior, match_patterns), and extending to adjacent domains (bridge_to_political). The deliberate separation of scaffolding from execution is a designed feature, not a gap.
