Actor Critic Thinking MCP Server

What is Actor Critic Thinking MCP Server about?

The server implements an actor‑critic methodology within the Model Context Protocol to evaluate content from two complementary perspectives. It tracks sequential rounds, generates multi‑dimensional assessments, and suggests improvements, aiming for a holistic view of creative or strategic outputs.

How to use Actor Critic Thinking MCP Server?

1. Install the server with npm:

   npm run build
   node dist/index.js
   

2. Configure the MCP client to call the server, providing the required parameters:

   {
     "content": "Your analysis text",
     "role": "actor" | "critic",
     "nextRoundNeeded": true,
     "thoughtNumber": 1,
     "totalThoughts": 5
   }
   

3. Alternate the role between "actor" and "critic" across rounds until nextRoundNeeded is set to false.

Example Usage

System prompt:

Your task is to generate creative, memorable, and marketable product names based on the provided description and keywords. The product names should be concise (2-4 words), evocative, and easily understood by the target audience. Avoid generic or overly literal names. Instead, aim to create a name that stands out, captures the essence of the product, and leaves a lasting impression.

User prompt:

Description: A noise-canceling, wireless, over-ear headphone with a 20-hour battery life and touch controls. Designed for audiophiles and frequent travelers. Keywords: immersive, comfortable, high-fidelity, long-lasting, convenient

Best Practices

1. Start with either actor or critic perspective
2. Alternate between perspectives to maintain balance
3. Continue rounds until comprehensive analysis is achieved
4. Focus on relevant performance aspects
5. Generate balanced assessments that honor both perspectives
6. Provide constructive, actionable feedback
7. Only set nextRoundNeeded to false when analysis is complete
