Vibe Check MCP
by PV-Bhat
Vibe Check MCP is an MCP server designed to provide a metacognitive oversight layer for AI agents, preventing cascading errors and over-engineering. It acts as a sanity check, ensuring AI agents stay aligned with the user's intent and avoid unnecessary complexity.

What is Vibe Check MCP?
Vibe Check MCP is a server that provides AI agents with a 'vibe check' mechanism to prevent them from going down the wrong path or over-engineering solutions. It implements strategic pattern interrupts, encourages plan simplification, and enables self-improving feedback loops.
How to use Vibe Check MCP?
The server can be installed manually via npm or automatically via Smithery. After installation, it needs to be integrated with Claude by adding it to the claude_desktop_config.json file and configuring the necessary environment variables (GEMINI_API_KEY). The agent's system prompt needs to be updated to treat vibe_check as a critical pattern interrupt mechanism.

FAQ from Vibe Check MCP
What is pattern inertia?
What is pattern inertia?
Pattern inertia is the tendency of LLMs to continue down a reasoning path, even when it's clearly wrong.
How does vibe_check work?
How does vibe_check work?
vibe_check is a pattern interrupt mechanism that breaks tunnel vision with metacognitive questioning.
What is vibe_distill?
What is vibe_distill?
vibe_distill is a meta-thinking anchor point that recalibrates complex workflows by encouraging plan simplification.
How does vibe_learn improve AI agents?
How does vibe_learn improve AI agents?
vibe_learn is a self-improving feedback loop that builds pattern recognition over time by logging mistakes and their solutions.
