Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

npx

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "validation-thinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-validation-thinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}

docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "validationthinking": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "mcp/validationthinking"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To disable logging of validation information set env var: DISABLE_VALIDATION_LOGGING to true.

Usage with VS Code

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and typing Preferences: Open Settings (JSON).

Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

Note that the mcp key is not needed in the .vscode/mcp.json file.

For NPX installation:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "validation-thinking": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "@modelcontextprotocol/server-validation-thinking"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

For Docker installation:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "validation-thinking": {
        "command": "docker",
        "args": [
          "run",
          "--rm",
          "-i",
          "mcp/validationthinking"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
