Self Inspect MCP Overview
The self-inspect-mcp MCP server accepts an agent's thought and returns one short metathought question about its assumptions, commitments, evidence, or task. It uses a deterministic heuristic over an open CSV rather than an LLM, embeddings, or semantic search, so identical inputs produce identical results. Access it through the hosted Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint, the REST API, or the local stdio package. Reach for it at genuine reasoning checkpoints before acting, committing to a plan, or finalizing an answer—not as an automatic wrapper around every step.
Primary Use Cases for Self Inspect MCP:
- Check assumptions before acting on a hypothesis
- Inspect a plan before committing to it
- Catch drift during a long reasoning chain
- Question confidence before finalizing an answer
