The following quickstart guide demonstrates how to launch the Sequential Thinking MCP server and a chatbot, scoped to a Meshagent Room in the cloud. When the Room closes, all associated tools and agents are automatically removed.
  1. Install Meshagent CLI and dependencies 
    pip install "meshagent[all]"
  2. Sign up and authenticate
    See Meshagent CLI Getting Started for signup and authentication steps.
  3. Spin up the Sequential Thinking MCP server agent inside a test room 
    meshagent service test --room=test --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-sequentialthinking:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-sequentialthinking-service-test
    This starts a Meshagent Room and launches a test MCP server available for tools usage inside that room. Note: Meshagent Rooms will close if they go inactive.
  4. Start a chatbot in the Meshagent room that can access the Sequential Thinking toolkit 
    meshagent chatbot join --room=test --agent-name=mcp-sequentialthinking --name=mcp-sequentialthinking --toolkit=mcp-sequentialthinking
    • This starts a chatbot in the test room; the chatbot can now use the Sequential Thinking MCP toolkit.
    • Multiple toolkits can be attached to a single agent if needed.
    • A room link will be shown in the output of this command.
  5. Use and test
    • Visit the provided room link in your browser.
    • Send a message to the agent to interact and experiment with the MCP server tools live.

​
Project Level Deployment (Persistent Services for Production)

To make MCP server tools and chatbots consistently available in all new rooms created within a Meshagent project (ideal for production use-cases), deploy the following persistent services:
  1. Create a persistent MCP server service 
    meshagent service create --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-sequentialthinking:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-sequentialthinking-service
  2. Create a persistent chatbot agent service 
    meshagent service create --image="meshagent/cli:latest" --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-sequentialthinking-chatbot" --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" --name="mcp-sequentialthinking-chatbot-service" --command="meshagent chatbot service --agent-name=mcp-sequentialthinking-chatbot --toolkit=mcp-sequentialthinking"
  • These services will now auto-join every time a room is created in the project—users no longer need to run or maintain local servers, agents, or chatbots.

​
Tool Details

​
Tool: sequentialthinking

A tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thoughts. This tool analyzes problems through a flexible, iterative sequence, where each thought can build on, revise, or question previous steps. Adaptivity and revision are core features. When to use:
  • Breaking down complex/multi-step problems
  • Planning or analysis requiring revision or deep context
  • Tasks requiring branching, course correction, or evolving understanding
Key Features:
  • Dynamically adjust the required number of thinking steps (total_thoughts)
  • Question or revise earlier thoughts
  • Add more thoughts even after reaching an apparent conclusion
  • Express uncertainty and explore alternative solutions
  • Branch or backtrack as necessary
  • Generates and verifies a solution hypothesis
  • Repeats the process until reaching a satisfactory solution
Parameters:
ParameterTypeDescription
nextThoughtNeededbooleanWhether another thought step is needed
thoughtstringCurrent thinking step
thoughtNumberintegerCurrent thought number
totalThoughtsintegerEstimated total thoughts needed
branchFromThoughtinteger (optional)Branching point (step number)
branchIdstring (optional)Branch identifier
isRevisionboolean (optional)Revises earlier thinking?
needsMoreThoughtsboolean (optional)Whether more thoughts are needed
revisesThoughtinteger (optional)Which thought is being reconsidered
Usage guidance:
  • Adjust your approach or step count as you learn more
  • Mark and manage revisions and branches clearly
  • Aim for clarity, correctness, and the ability to revise incomplete solutions
