Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
S
Choose Seven Dpt MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Add a long-running problem to your set (refused past the ~12 cap until you retire/merge something — or pass `overCap`)
update_problem
Edit, **retire**, **solve**, or reopen a problem. Closing takes a `resolution` — why, plus the re-open trigger; a merge is a retirement whose resolution names the absorber
list_problems
See your open problems
get_problem
One problem + every spark (idea, next step, outcome) — the memory
evoke
The loop.** Feed it a trick; returns your problems + a scaffold walking evocation → transcendence → approach
capture_spark
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Seven Dpt MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Skill of Skills belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Seven Dpt MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Skill of Skills when you require tools for developer tools.
Persist a candidate idea + concrete next step against a problem (+ optional `costToOpen` — the forward effort estimate — `prior` — your stated p(works), immutable, for later calibration — and the claim-typing trio: `claimType` universal/existential-bounded, `forbids` — one observation the spark rul…
update_spark
Record a spark's outcome — status (tried/worked/failed), `cost` (actual effort spent), `value` (graded payoff, `0` for a miss). **Log failures too**; the zero-value outcomes are the signal a background-effort policy is learned from. Can backfill `claimType`/`forbids`/`exhaustion` while unset (write…
wake_status
Evaluate every parked problem/spark's `wakeCondition` right now — ripeness, progress, per-atom current/target echoes
