What is Vibe Check MCP?
Vibe Check MCP is a server that provides AI agents with metacognitive oversight tools to prevent pattern inertia, tunnel vision, scope creep, overengineering, and misalignment. It acts as an 'inner rubber duck' for AI agents, helping them to self-correct and avoid errors.
How to use Vibe Check MCP?
Vibe Check MCP can be installed via Smithery or manually using npm. It integrates with Claude by adding a configuration to claude_desktop_config.json
and setting the GEMINI_API_KEY in a .env
file. The agent should be prompted to use the provided tools (vibe_check, vibe_distill, vibe_learn) strategically during planning, implementation, and review phases.
Key features of Vibe Check MCP
vibe_check: A pattern interrupt mechanism that breaks tunnel vision with metacognitive questioning.
vibe_distill: A meta-thinking anchor point that recalibrates complex workflows.
vibe_learn: A self-improving feedback loop that builds pattern recognition over time.
Integration with LearnLM 1.5 Pro (Gemini API) fine-tuned for pedagogy and metacognition.
Use cases of Vibe Check MCP
