What it isAn MCP server to run arbitrary commandsSequential Thinking is one of the official Model Context Protocol reference servers. It gives an agent an explicit scratchpad for multi-step reasoning: thoughts are recorded in sequence, can be revised, and branches can be explored and abandoned - so a hard problem is decomposed on the record instead of inside one opaque completion.
