## Description

Think Tool MCP Server implements Anthropic's 'think' tool as described in their engineering blog, providing Claude with a dedicated space for structured reasoning during complex problem-solving tasks. This TypeScript implementation creates a simple MCP server that allows Claude to pause and reflect during response generation, without performing external actions or retrieving new information. Research shows this approach improves performance by up to 54% on complex tasks, especially when working with multiple tools or following detailed policies, making it particularly valuable for customer service, legal compliance, sequential decision-making, and coding challenges.
