About Code Reasoning
Code Reasoning is an MCP server published by mettamatt in the Developer Tools category: a code reasoning MCP server, a fork of sequential-thinking.
The repository has 256 stars and 31 forks, with the last commit 8 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/mettamatt/code-reasoningThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.
