Guides systematic problem-solving by implementing Claude Shannon's methodology of problem definition, modeling, and validation.

About

The Shannon Thinking tool implements Claude Shannon's systematic problem-solving methodology as an MCP server. It helps break down complex problems into structured thoughts following Shannon's approach of problem definition, constraints identification, mathematical modeling, proof/validation, and practical implementation. This tool guides users through these stages, supporting iterative refinement, dependency tracking, assumption management, and confidence level assessment to arrive at well-reasoned solutions.

Key Features

  • Supports iterative problem-solving with revisions and rechecks.
  • Combines formal proofs with experimental validation.
  • Tracks dependencies between thoughts explicitly.
  • Manages assumptions clearly.
  • Quantifies uncertainty with confidence levels.

Use Cases

  • Complex system analysis
  • Engineering design challenges
  • Optimization problems
