Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Think ToolCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)think-toolPlease refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
To install mcp-think for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @iamwavecut/mcp-think --client claude
This command compiles and installs the binary into your Go bin directory ($GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin).
go install github.com/iamwavecut/MCP-Think@latest
Note: Ensure your Go bin directory is in your system's PATH. You might need to add export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin or export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.).
Run the installed binary: MCP-Think
3. Using go run (Quick Testing, Requires Go)
This command compiles and runs the main package directly from the source code without installing a binary. It's useful for quick tests.
go run github.com/iamwavecut/MCP-Think@latest
- This downloads the module and its dependencies temporarily if needed.
go install:
think-tool
If you are using go run:
go run github.com/iamwavecut/MCP-Think@latest
The server will print Starting Think Tool MCP Server with stdio transport... and wait for MCP requests on stdin.

Using the think tool
Before taking any action or responding to the user after receiving tool results, use the think tool as a scratchpad to:
- List the specific rules that apply to the current request
- Check if all required information is collected
- Verify that the planned action complies with all policies
- Iterate over tool results for correctness
Here are some examples of what to iterate over inside the think tool:
<think_tool_example_1>
User wants to cancel flight ABC123
- Need to verify: user ID, reservation ID, reason
- Check cancellation rules:
Is it within 24h of booking?
If not, check ticket class and insurance
- Verify no segments flown or are in the past
- Plan: collect missing info, verify rules, get confirmation
</think_tool_example_1>
<think_tool_example_2>
User wants to book 3 tickets to NYC with 2 checked bags each
- Need user ID to check:
Membership tier for baggage allowance
Which payments methods exist in profile
- Baggage calculation:
Economy class × 3 passengers
If regular member: 1 free bag each → 3 extra bags = $150
If silver member: 2 free bags each → 0 extra bags = $0
If gold member: 3 free bags each → 0 extra bags = $0
- Payment rules to verify:
Max 1 travel certificate, 1 credit card, 3 gift cards
All payment methods must be in profile
* Travel certificate remainder goes to waste
- Plan:
1. Get user ID
2. Verify membership level for bag fees
3. Check which payment methods in profile and if their combination is allowed
4. Calculate total: ticket price + any bag fees
5. Get explicit confirmation for booking
