## Repository

## Transports

Streamable HTTP

## Authentication

No credential was required for the hosted tools/list request. The server requires an MCP initialize/session handshake; MCP clients should perform this automatically.

## Tools

- **list_scenarios**: List all available stuck-agent scenarios with their tier (core/extended). Core scenarios are also directly available as individual tools.
- **bug-fix-always-failed**: Use this when your bug fix attempts keep failing, and you need to break out of the loop with a fresh debugging strategy.
- **logic-is-too-complex**: Use this when your reasoning is getting long, tangled, or circular, and you need a simple, structured way to reset and move forward.
- **long-goal-partially-done**: Use this when working on a multi-step task and you have only completed part of it, risking that remaining steps are forgotten.
- **lost-main-objective**: Use this when you remember the original goal but your current actions feel disconnected from it, and you need to realign your work with the main objective.
- **missing-requirements**: Use this when you cannot proceed because requirements are missing or unclear, and you need to identify what information is needed.
- **scope-creep-during-task**: Use this when your changes are expanding beyond the original task scope, and you need to refocus on what was actually requested.
- **strategy-not-working**: Use this when you have tried the same approach multiple times without success, and you need to step back and consider a fundamentally different strategy.
- **get_prompt**: Get prompt template for any scenario (core or extended) with optional mode. Use list_scenarios to discover available scenario IDs.
