Cortex MCP — Multi-Level Reasoning Server

Overview

Cortex MCP is a multi-level reasoning server for the Model Context Protocol that enables configurable depth levels in AI reasoning tasks. It exposes reasoning capabilities as tools that language models can invoke directly, allowing for structured and layered thought processes across multiple reasoning depths.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @j0hanz/cortex-mcp, communicating over stdio without requiring any authentication or external credentials. Installation is simple with npx -y @j0hanz/cortex-mcp, and the current release is v1.11.0. Source code is available at j0hanz/cortex-mcp on GitHub.

Cortex MCP belongs in the AI & Agents category and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, you can claim this listing to earn the Verified badge and ensure information stays current.
