- **Advanced Reasoning Integration**
  - Leverages DeepSeek R1's reasoning engine
  - Seamlessly integrates with Claude's thought process
  - Handles complex multi-step reasoning tasks
  
- **Enterprise-Grade Security**
  - Environment variable support (.env file)
  - Secure API key handling
  - No key exposure in responses

- **MCP Protocol Support**
  - Full MCP server implementation
  - Streaming response handling
  - Proper error management

- **Modern Python Architecture**
  - Async/await for efficient processing
  - Proper exception handling
  - Clean code organization

## 📦 Installation

1. **Prerequisites**
   - Python 3.12+
   - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) package manager
   - DeepSeek API key (get one from [platform.deepseek.com](https://platform.deepseek.com))

2. **Quick Start**
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/martinbowling/thoughtful-claude.git
cd thoughtful-claude

# Install MCP and dependencies
pip install "mcp[cli]" httpx python-dotenv

# Create .env file with your API key
echo "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_key_here" > .env

# Install the MCP server with environment variables
mcp install server.py -f .env
```

The `mcp install` command will:
- Register the server with Claude Desktop
- Set up the environment variables from `.env`
- Configure the server to run with the correct Python interpreter

You can verify the installation by checking for the 🔨 Tools icon in Claude Desktop's interface.

## 🚀 Usage

1. **Start the Server**
The server will automatically start when you use Claude Desktop with the proper configuration.

2. **Basic Workflow**
   - Claude receives a query requiring reasoning
   - Qu…
