Client Setup: Claude Code

Register

Install the release-candidate checkout on PATH as described in the root README, then register the stdio server:

claude mcp add --scope user reasonkit-think -- reasonkit-think-mcp
claude mcp get reasonkit-think

The equivalent mcpServers entry is:

{
  "reasonkit-think": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "reasonkit-think-mcp",
    "args": []
  }
}

The default core pack exposes the 13-tool audited decision path. Set REASONKIT_TOOL_PACK=full on this server only as a compatibility escape hatch for a client that requires the complete 47-tool legacy inventory.

Verify

• The server initializes without text on stdout before the MCP handshake.
• Claude discovers 13 tools under the default pack.
• The Auto → evidence → checkpoint/decision → audit path completes.

If startup reports an executable error, run command -v reasonkit-think-mcp in the environment that launches Claude Code.
