MCP Sequential Thinking Visualization

A VS Code and Cursor extension to visualize and track the @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking process in real-time.

Features

🧠 Real-time Thought Tracking - Watch AI reasoning unfold as it happens

🌳 Visual Thought Trees - See the complete structure of sequential thinking processes

🔀 Branch Visualization - Track parallel thinking paths and hypothesis exploration

📊 Progress Metrics - Monitor thought depth, branches, and revisions

⚡ Live Updates - Automatic refresh as new thoughts are generated

Compatibility
