Actor Critic Thinking

What is Actor-Critic Thinking MCP Server?

Actor-Critic Thinking MCP Server is a dual-perspective thinking analysis server built upon the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It utilizes the Actor-Critic methodology to provide comprehensive performance evaluations by alternating between an "actor" (creator/performer) and a "critic" (analyzer/evaluator) perspective.

How to use Actor-Critic Thinking MCP Server?

To use the server, you can integrate it into your MCP setup. An example mcpServers configuration is provided:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "actor-critic-thinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-actor-critic-thinking"]
    }
  }
}

For local development and running, you can build the project using npm run build and then run the server with node dist/index.js.

When interacting with the server, you need to provide content, role (either "actor" or "critic"), nextRoundNeeded (boolean), thoughtNumber (integer, min 1), and totalThoughts (integer, odd and >= 3). The role dictates the perspective guidelines for the content.

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.

FAQ about Actor-Critic Thinking MCP Server

Q: What are the required parameters for analysis? A: The required parameters are content (string), role (string, "actor" or "critic"), nextRoundNeeded (boolean), thoughtNumber (integer, minimum 1), and totalThoughts (integer, must be odd and >= 3).

Q: What should an "actor" perspective include? A: An actor perspective should include understanding intentions, creative choices, emotional context, challenges faced, self-reflection on performance, decision-making process, and explanation of creative vision and goals.

Q: What should a "critic" perspective include? A: A critic perspective should include technical execution analysis, effectiveness evaluation, audience impact assessment, comparative analysis, objective feedback, and improvement suggestions.

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.
