MCP Sequential Thinking
Reference MCP server that gives an agent a structured scratchpad for multi-step reasoning. Each call records a numbered thought with revision and branching support — the agent can backtrack, fork, and consolidate plans without polluting the main context window. Useful in long-horizon tasks where the model would otherwise lose track of an evolving plan.

Recommended stack
- Pairs withOpenHands
Sequential Thinking MCP gives OpenHands a structured reasoning scratchpad outside the main context window. Useful in long-horizon tasks where the model would lose track of an evolving plan.
Pros
- Externalises chain-of-thought from the main context
- Branch + revise primitives, not just append
- Trivial to enable
Cons
- Effectiveness depends on the model actually using the tool
- Adds a tool call every reasoning step — token cost on long tasks
