Wisdom MCP Server

Provides Stoic, Cognitive, Mindfulness, and Strategic wisdom tools to guide Claude decisions.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aplaceforallmystuff-mcp-wisdom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-wisdom"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You unlock philosophy-grounded thinking tools for Claude to improve decisions, reduce bias, and gain clearer perspectives. This MCP server provides nine distinct thinking tools drawn from Stoic, Cognitive, Mindfulness, and Strategic traditions, each designed to help you step back, examine assumptions, and act with intention.

How to use

You connect to the Wisdom MCP Server from your MCP client and invoke tools by name to guide decisions, manage anxiety, or gain perspective. Start with a tool that matches your current needs, such as a pausing practice to create space before reacting or a bias scan to surface thinking errors. The server will respond with structured guidance grounded in ancient and modern thinking frameworks.

How to install

Prerequisites you’ll need before installation: a working Node.js runtime and npm (Node 14+ is recommended). You will also need network access to install and run packages.

# Install the MCP server globally
npm install -g mcp-wisdom

# Or run it directly with npx
npx mcp-wisdom

Configuration

Configure the MCP server in your Claude integration to allow Claude to reach the Wisdom tools. Use the following local, runtime configuration to register the Wisdom MCP server with Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wisdom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-wisdom"]
    }
  }
}
