Sequential Thinking MCP (--deepthink)

Structured step-by-step reasoning via mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking MCP tool.

CRITICAL: Three Distinct Reasoning Modes

MoAI has THREE independent deep analysis modes. They are NOT the same thing:

Mode	Trigger	Mechanism	MCP Tool?	GLM Compatible?	Model
--deepthink	Explicit --deepthink flag	Sequential Thinking MCP tool	YES — mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking	NO — generates server_tool_use content type	Any
ultrathink	Keyword or auto-detection	Claude native extended reasoning (high effort)	NO — native to Claude	YES — no special content type	Any
Adaptive Thinking	Automatic on Opus 4.7	Opus 4.7's only supported thinking mode	NO — built-in	YES	Opus 4.7 only

Rules:

• --deepthink → ALWAYS invoke Sequential Thinking MCP. NEVER use for native reasoning.
• ultrathink → ALWAYS use Claude's native extended reasoning. NEVER invoke Sequential Thinking MCP.
• They can coexist: ultrathink --deepthink activates BOTH modes independently.
• Adaptive Thinking → Opus 4.7's built-in reasoning. Let the model adapt depth automatically based on task complexity.
• On Opus 4.7: do not hardcode a fixed reasoning budget. Adaptive Thinking overrides fixed-budget instructions.

Activation Triggers (--deepthink only)

Use Sequential Thinking MCP when --deepthink flag is explicitly present:

• Breaking down complex problems into steps
• Planning and design with room for revision
• Architecture decisions affect 3+ files
• Technology selection between multiple options
• Performance vs maintainability trade-offs
• Breaking changes under consideration
• Multiple approaches exist to solve the same problem
• Repetitive errors occur
