Steelmind

stabgan/steelmind-mcp

Adds two tools to your AI agent: `think` for sequential reasoning steps and `verify` for steel-manning your conclusions before you act on them. The design separates idea generation from evaluation to reduce self-bias, based on MetaCrit research showing 76% accuracy gains. Tool descriptions do most of the work, embedding Socratic questioning and dialectical challenges directly in the prompts. You get step tracking (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), adjustable thought counts, and a verify nudge after the final thinking step. Reach for this when you want structured problem-solving with a built-in adversarial check, especially for decisions where confirming your own reasoning isn't enough. Works over stdio with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and similar clients.

Steelmind MCP — Structured Thinking & Verification for AI Agents

npm version Docker License: MIT

The research-grounded reasoning MCP server for AI agents. Combines step-by-step sequential thinking with steel-manning verification — backed by 43+ cognitive science and AI research papers.

Steelmind gives your AI agent two tools:

  • think — Record structured reasoning steps with sequential decomposition. Embeds Socratic self-questioning and Polya's problem-solving method.
  • verify — Challenge conclusions with steel-manning before committing. Embeds dialectical evaluation from MetaCrit and SIEV research.

The code is minimal. The descriptions do the heavy lifting — tool descriptions account for ~80% of reasoning improvement per Anthropic τ-bench research.
