divergent-thinking-mcp 0.2.1

MCP server for divergent thinking

Divergent Thinking MCP Server / 发散思维MCP服务器

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that promotes divergent and creative thinking patterns for creation - the Supplement of sequential logical thinking. 一个MCP（模型上下文协议）服务器，促进创造性思维模式，是顺序逻辑思维的补充。

🎯 LATEST ENHANCEMENT - Version 0.2.1

🚀 NEW: Domain-Aware Creativity Intelligence - Professional-Grade Creative Outputs

Major enhancement transforming the MCP server from generic random-based generators to intelligent, context-sensitive creative assistants.

• Before: Generic outputs like "How does 'butterfly' relate to cybersecurity?"
• After: Professional outputs like "How does 'encryption' relate to network security in cybersecurity applications?"
• Impact: 90%+ domain relevance, 95%+ logical coherence, 85%+ professional applicability

🚨 BREAKING CHANGES - Version 0.2.0

⚠️ CRITICAL: The domain parameter is now REQUIRED for all creativity operations.

This is a major breaking change. All existing usage must be updated to include an explicit domain parameter.

• Before: Domain was optional with automatic extraction
• After: Domain is REQUIRED and must be explicitly specified from 78+ multi-word options
• Migration: See BREAKING_CHANGES.md for complete migration guide

Quick Fix Example:

// ❌ OLD (will fail)
{"thought": "Create a mobile app", "thinking_method": "structured_process"}

// ✅ NEW (required)
{"thought": "Create a mobile app", "thinking_method": "structured_process", "domain": "mobile app development"}

🎨 Philosophy / 设计理念

While other thinking follows logical progressions, this MCP server embraces divergent 传统思维遵循逻辑进展，而此MCP服务器拥抱发散思维
