  • 🔄 Iterative Refinement - Revise and refine thoughts as understanding deepens
  • 🌲 Alternative Pathways - Branch into alternative paths of reasoning
  • 📊 Dynamic Adjustment - Adjust the total number of thoughts as needed
  • Solution Validation - Generate and verify solution hypotheses

🛠️ Tool Interface

sequential_thinking

Facilitates a detailed, step-by-step thinking process for problem-solving and analysis.

Input Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
thought string Yes The current thinking step
nextThoughtNeeded boolean Yes Whether another thought step is needed
thoughtNumber integer Yes Current thought number
totalThoughts integer Yes Estimated total thoughts needed

      2. Click on your profile picture, then select "Access Tokens"
      3. Click "Generate New Token" button
      4. Important: Select "Automation" token type (not "Publish") to bypass OTP requirements
      5. Enter a token description (e.g., "GitHub Actions")
      6. Click "Generate Token"
      7. Important: Copy the generated token immediately! It will only be displayed once
  2. DOCKERHUB_USERNAME

    • Your Docker Hub username
    • This should be the same username you use to log in to Docker Hub
  3. DOCKERHUB_TOKEN

    • Generate in Docker Hub: Account Settings → Security → New Access Token

    • NPM_TOKEN: Paste your npm access token value
    • DOCKERHUB_USERNAME: Enter your Docker Hub username
    • DOCKERHUB_TOKEN: Paste your Docker Hub access token
  4. After adding all secrets, you should see all 3 listed in the "Actions secrets" list

Testing the Workflow

To test your automated publishing workflow:

  1. In your GitHub repository, click the "Actions" tab
  2. Find the "Publish Package" workflow in the left sidebar
  3. Click the "Run workflow" button
  4. Select the "main" branch from the branch dropdown
  5. Click the green "Run workflow" button
  6. Monitor the progress and results in the Actions tab

Note for 2FA Users: If you have Two-Factor Authentication enabled on your npm account, you must either:

  • Use an "Automation" type token (recommended)
  • Change 2FA settings to "Authorization only" (not recommended)
  • Manually publish packages (not automated)

❗ Troubleshooting

If you encounter integration issues:

  1. 🔧 Use the local build method with absolute path to the JS file
  2. 📝 Verify file permissions: chmod +x dist/index.js
  3. 🐳 Try Docker as an alternative
  4. 📚 Consult Cursor's documentation for latest MCP integration methods
