3. 📝 Plan Tasks: Use "plan task [description]" to create a development plan

4. 👀 Review & Feedback: Provide feedback during the planning process

5. ▶️ Execute Tasks: Use "execute task [name/ID]" to implement a specific task

6. 🔄 Continuous Mode: Say "continuous mode" to process all tasks sequentially

🔍 Memory & Thinking Features

• 💾 Task Memory: Automatically saves execution history for reference
• 🔄 Thought Chain: Enables systematic reasoning through process_thought tool
• 📋 Project Rules: Maintains consistency across your codebase

🔧 Installation

🔽 Via Smithery

npx -y @smithery/cli install @liorfranko/mcp-chain-of-thought --client claude

🔽 Manual Installation

npm install
npm run build

🔌 Using with MCP-Compatible Clients

⚙️ Configuration in Cursor IDE
