📦 Installation

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Python 3.12+
  3. uv package manager
  4. DeepSeek API key (get one from platform.deepseek.com)
  1. Quick Start
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/martinbowling/thoughtful-claude.git
cd thoughtful-claude

# Install MCP and dependencies
pip install "mcp[cli]" httpx python-dotenv

# Create .env file with your API key
echo "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_key_here" > .env

# Install the MCP server with environment variables
mcp install server.py -f .env

The mcp install command will:

  • Register the server with Claude Desktop
  • Set up the environment variables from .env
  • Configure the server to run with the correct Python interpreter

You can verify the installation by checking for the 🔨 Tools icon in Claude Desktop's interface.

🚀 Usage

  1. Start the Server

The server will automatically start when you use Claude Desktop with the proper configuration.

Questions

What is the Thoughtful Claude MCP server?

MCP server that enhances Claude's reasoning capabilities by integrating DeepSeek R1's advanced reasoning engine 🤔

What tools does Thoughtful Claude expose?

1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Thoughtful Claude safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does Thoughtful Claude need?

It reads DEEPSEEK_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (50fa0f8b2ab1), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
