  "breaks": "1) (confirms) README names the tool sequential_thinking in four places; calling it returns -32602 'Tool sequential_thinking not found'; the real tool is sequentialthinking. 2) New, minor: every thought is echoed to stderr in a box-drawn frame unless DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING=true; one 200,000-char thought produced about 1 MB of stderr. Hosts that keep server stderr logs will store the full reasoning text. 3) Not tested inside a real MCP host app. Note: the engines >=24 issue does not apply on Node 24, where it runs cleanly.",
