An escape guide for coding agents, providing structured thinking tools to help agents unstick.
An escape guide for coding agents, providing structured thinking tools to help agents unstick. That is what the agent mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
This is a MCP server that acts as a "escape guide" for AI coding agents.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
Two — tier scenario organization**:logic-is-too-complex — for circular reasoning or over-complicated logicbug-fix-always-failed — for repeated failed bug fix attemptsmissing-requirements — for unclear or missing requirementslost-main-objective — for when current actions feel disconnected from the original goalscope-creep-during-task — for when changes expand beyond the original task scopelong-goal-partially-done — for multi-step tasks where remaining work is forgottenstrategy-not-working — for when the same approach fails repeatedlyanalysis-too-long — for excessive analysis timeunclear-acceptance-criteria — for undefined acceptance criteriawrong-level-of-detail — for working at wrong abstraction levelconstraints-cant-all-be-met — for conflicting requirements or constraintsBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Agent's toolset — Two, logic-is-too-complex, bug-fix-always-failed and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by askman-dev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Two | tier scenario organization**: |
| logic-is-too-complex | for circular reasoning or over-complicated logic |
| bug-fix-always-failed | for repeated failed bug fix attempts |
| missing-requirements | for unclear or missing requirements |
| lost-main-objective | for when current actions feel disconnected from the original goal |
| scope-creep-during-task | for when changes expand beyond the original task scope |
| long-goal-partially-done | for multi-step tasks where remaining work is forgotten |
| strategy-not-working | for when the same approach fails repeatedly |
| analysis-too-long | for excessive analysis time |
| unclear-acceptance-criteria | for undefined acceptance criteria |
| wrong-level-of-detail | for working at wrong abstraction level |
| constraints-cant-all-be-met | for conflicting requirements or constraints |
| blocked-by-environment-limits | for environmental blockers vs logic problems |
| list_scenarios | list all scenarios with their tier (core/extended) |

}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
Issue tracking at the speed of conversation — Linear's official hosted server with OAuth and zero install.
Search and read your Drive — Docs, Sheets and files become context your assistant can actually use.
Your assistant inside the workspace — read channels, search history, post messages and tame the noise.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Stop letting your assistant hallucinate n8n node parameters — this server hands it the real schemas, templates and validation.
