shannon-thinking
The 'shannon-thinking' project is an MCP server designed to facilitate systematic problem-solving using Claude Shannon's approach. It offers tools to assist in defining problems, exploring models, and validating solutions through both theoretical and practical means. Its standout feature is the structured and iterative methodology it provides to tackle complex challenges.
What is the main purpose of the Shannon Thinking MCP server?
The main purpose is to guide systematic problem-solving using Claude Shannon's methodology, which includes problem definition, constraints, modeling, validation, and implementation.
How does the server handle revisions in problem-solving?
The server supports iterative problem-solving by allowing thoughts to be revised and rechecked as new information becomes available or understanding evolves.
Can the server handle both theoretical and practical aspects of problem-solving?
Yes, the server combines formal proofs with experimental validation and provides implementation notes for practical constraints and proposed solutions.
What kind of problems is this server best suited for?
It is particularly valuable for complex system analysis, information processing problems, engineering design challenges, and optimization problems.
How does the server quantify uncertainty in problem-solving steps?
The server uses confidence levels to quantify uncertainty in each step, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of the problem-solving process.
