CAN MCP Server

by psikosen

The CAN MCP Server implements a parallel, associative thinking approach using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It operates on a network of interconnected concepts with activation spreading in parallel through the network until a coherent pattern or solution emerges.

What is CAN MCP Server?

The CAN MCP Server is a system that simulates parallel, associative thinking by using a network of interconnected concepts. It allows for the exploration of multiple conceptual paths simultaneously, inspired by theories of human cognition.

How to use CAN MCP Server?

To use the CAN MCP Server, you need to clone the repository, install the dependencies using npm install, and start the server using npm start. You can then configure it with Claude Desktop by adding the provided configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json. The server provides tools for session management, concept management, activation process control, and analysis of the activated concepts.

FAQ from CAN MCP Server

What is a Concept Activation Network?

A Concept Activation Network (CAN) is a system that simulates parallel, associative thinking using a network of interconnected concepts.

How does CAN differ from sequential thinking?

Unlike sequential thinking, CAN operates on a network of interconnected concepts with activation spreading in parallel through the network until a coherent pattern or solution emerges.

What are the core components of the CAN system?

The core components are Concept Nodes, Weighted Connections, Activation Dynamics, and Pattern Detection.

How do I install the CAN MCP Server?

Clone the repository, navigate to the directory, and run npm install.

How can I use CAN with Claude?

Structure your prompts to instruct Claude to use the CAN MCP Server as its thinking methodology, focusing on parallel concept activation and emergent patterns.
