Claude Think

🚀 Cursor & Claude Think MCP Tool

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool allows Claude to use an explicit thinking mode in Cursor, enabling you to see Claude's step-by-step reasoning process.

🚀 Quick Start

This MCP tool enables Claude to operate in an explicit thinking mode within Cursor, offering you a clear view of its step - by - step reasoning.

✨ Features

• Allows Claude to enter explicit reasoning mode in Cursor.
• Displays the step - by - step thinking process and provides the final answer.

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14.0.0 or higher)
• Cursor (v0.9.0 or higher)
• Basic knowledge of terminal commands

Project - level Installation (For the current project only)

The tool is already installed for this project. The configuration file is located at .cursor/mcp.json.

Global Installation (Available for all projects)

To make the tool available in all Cursor projects:

1. Create a global MCP configuration directory:

   mkdir -p ~/.cursor
   

2. Copy the tool and configuration:

   # Create the target directory
   mkdir -p ~/claude-think-tool
   
   # Copy the tool
   cp src/think-tool.js ~/claude-think-tool/
   
   # Give execution permission
   chmod +x ~/claude-think-tool/think-tool.js
   
   # Create a global MCP configuration using an absolute path (more reliable)
   echo "{\"mcpServers\":{\"claude-think-tool\":{\"command\":\"node\",\"args\":[\"$HOME/claude-think-tool/think-tool.js\"]}}}" > ~/.cursor/mcp.json
   

3. Restart Cursor to apply the changes (Required)

Windows Installation

Steps for Windows users:

1. Create the Cursor configuration directory:

   mkdir -p $env:USERPROFILE\.cursor
   

2. Copy the tool:

   mkdir -p $env:USERPROFILE\claude-think-tool
   copy src\think-tool.js $env:USERPROFILE\claude-think-tool\
   

3. Create a global MCP configuration:

   echo "{\"mcpServers\":{\"claude-think-tool\":{\"command\":\"node\",\"args\":[\"$env:USERPROFILE\\claude-think-tool\\think-tool.js\"]}}}" > $env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\mcp.json
   

4. Restart Cursor to apply the changes (Required)

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

In any Cursor chat, simply enter:

think What is the computational complexity of quicksort?

⚠️ Important Note

• "think" must be at the beginning of the message followed by a space.
• The content after "think " in the message will be processed by Claude in a special thinking mode.
• If "think" appears elsewhere in the message, the tool will not be activated.
• No formatting or special characters are required, just start with "think ".

📚 Documentation

Examples include:

• Solving complex problems
• Mathematical proofs
• Other reasoning scenarios

Check the examples directory for specific cases.

🔧 Technical Details

The tool intercepts the "think" command through the MCP protocol and formats the question using special tags to make Claude enter the explicit reasoning mode.
