mcp-wisdom

mcp-wisdom provides nine philosophical thinking tools that Claude can use to assist with decisions, anxiety, biases, timing, and perspective. Each tool draws from specific traditions and is designed to offer structured guidance, including Stoic, cognitive, mindfulness, strategic, and Socratic frameworks. Tools include wisdom_stoic_dichotomy, wisdom_stoic_premeditation, wisdom_stoic_memento_mori, wisdom_cognitive_bias_scan, wisdom_mindful_pause, wisdom_strategic_timing, wisdom_strategic_five_rings, wisdom_clarify, and wisdom_ground. To use it, invoke the desired tool by name in Claude, or configure Claude to automatically route relevant prompts to mcp-wisdom. The server integrates into Claude via the npx-based wrapper, enabling quick access to each framework’s prompts and structured reasoning tracks.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm (npm is included with Node.js).
• Internet access to install or fetch the MCP server.

Installation options:

1. Globally install the MCP server (recommended for CLI-driven use):

npm install -g mcp-wisdom

2. Run directly with npx (no global install required):

npx mcp-wisdom

3. Optional: Add to Claude Desktop configuration (example from README):

# Claude Desktop config.json snippet
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wisdom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-wisdom"]
    }
  }
}

4. If you prefer using Claude Code to add the server, run:

claude mcp add wisdom -- npx -y mcp-wisdom

Notes:

• The MCP server is accessed via npx with the package name mcp-wisdom; using -y in the args ensures non-interactive installation where appropriate.
• No additional environment variables are required by default; you can add env variables in your integration config if you need to override behavior or paths.
• If you encounter issues with npm or npx caching, try clearing the npm cache or running with the --no-cache flag where supported.
• Ensure Claude can reach the internet to fetch the mcp-wisdom package when using npx.
• The server exposes nine tools; familiarize yourself with the specific tool names to invoke the desired framework quickly.
