An MCP server demonstrating Claude Shannon's systematic problem-solving methodology.
Claude Shannon, known as the father of information theory, approached complex problems through a systematic methodology: Problem Definition, Constraints, Model, Proof/Validation, and Implementation/Experiment. This MCP server demonstrates this methodology as a tool that helps guide systematic problem-solving through these stages. The server provides a single tool named 'shannonthinking' that structures problem-solving thoughts according to Shannon's methodology. Each thought must include the actual thought content, type, thought number and total thoughts estimate, confidence level, dependencies on previous thoughts, explicit assumptions, and whether another thought step is needed. Additional capabilities include revision, recheck, experimental validation, and implementation notes.
Features
- Iterative Problem-Solving: Supports revisions and rechecks as understanding evolves.
- Flexible Validation: Combines formal proofs with experimental validation.
- Dependency Tracking: Explicitly tracks how thoughts build upon previous ones.
- Assumption Management: Requires clear documentation of assumptions.
- Confidence Levels: Quantifies uncertainty in each step.
