Verify installation:

npx mcp-server-actor-critic-thinking --help

Configuration

Step 2: Configure MooPoint

1. Open MooPoint settings
2. Navigate to MCP server configuration
3. Add Actor Critic Thinking server with appropriate settings
4. Save and restart if needed

Examples

Once configured, you can use Actor Critic Thinking in MooPoint:

Product Name Evaluation

Analyze effectiveness of noise-canceling headphone product name

Ask MooPoint: "Evaluate the product name "SilentMax Pro" for noise-canceling headphones using actor-critic analysis"

Expected Result: Multi-round analysis alternating between creative appreciation and practical critique of the name

Marketing Campaign Assessment

Evaluate marketing campaign concept from multiple perspectives

Ask MooPoint: "Analyze our "Digital Transformation Made Simple" campaign using 5 rounds of actor-critic evaluation"

Expected Result: Comprehensive evaluation covering creative impact, practical implementation, and market effectiveness

Feature Development Review

Assess new software feature proposal

Ask MooPoint: "Use actor-critic thinking to evaluate the proposed "Smart Auto-Save" feature for our text editor"

Expected Result: Balanced analysis of feature benefits, technical challenges, and user experience implications

Business Strategy Evaluation

Analyze strategic business decision with structured feedback

Ask MooPoint: "Apply actor-critic analysis to our plan for expanding into the European market"

Expected Result: Systematic evaluation of opportunities, risks, and implementation considerations

Testing Your Setup

1. Launch MooPoint
2. Verify Actor Critic Thinking is available in the tools list
3. Test basic Actor Critic Thinking functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Invalid Total Thoughts Parameter

Symptoms: Parameter validation errors, Odd number requirement failures

Cause: totalThoughts parameter must be odd number ≥3

Solution:

• Ensure totalThoughts is an odd number (3, 5, 7, etc.)
• Use minimum value of 3 for basic analysis
• Verify parameter is numeric, not string
• Check parameter validation in client configuration

Role Parameter Not Recognized

Symptoms: Invalid role errors, Perspective switching failures

Cause: Role parameter must be exactly "actor" or "critic"

Solution:

• Use exact values: "actor" or "critic"
• Check for typos or case sensitivity issues
• Ensure role alternates between rounds
• Verify role matches current thought number

Evaluation Sequence Broken

Symptoms: Out of sequence errors, Round tracking failures

Cause: thoughtNumber not matching expected sequence or round progression

Solution:

• Start thoughtNumber at 1 for first round
• Increment thoughtNumber for each subsequent round
• Ensure thoughtNumber ≤ totalThoughts
• Reset sequence for new evaluation sessions

TypeScript Compilation Errors

Symptoms: Build failures, Type definition errors

Cause: Missing TypeScript dependencies or configuration issues

Solution:

• Install TypeScript: npm install -g typescript
• Verify tsconfig.json configuration
• Install type definitions: npm install @types/node
• Clear build cache: npm run clean && npm run build

MCP Server Connection Failed

Symptoms: Connection timeout, Server unreachable, Test connection fails

Cause: Invalid server URL or server not accessible

Solution:

• Verify MCP server URL is correct and publicly accessible
• Check server supports HTTP or SSE transport protocol
• Ensure server is running and responding to health checks
• Test server URL in browser or with curl
• Review server logs for connection errors

OAuth Authentication Failing

Symptoms: OAuth redirect errors, Token refresh failures, Permission denied

Cause: Invalid OAuth credentials or misconfigured redirect URLs

Solution:

• Verify OAuth client ID and secret are correct
• Check redirect URL in OAuth provider matches MooPoint configuration
• Ensure all required scopes are configured
• Complete OAuth authorization flow fully
• Check OAuth provider allows the application

Tool Calling Not Working

Symptoms: Tools not appearing, Tool execution fails, LLM cannot access tools

Cause: MCP server not providing tools correctly or model limitations

Solution:

• Verify MCP server exposes tools in correct format
• Check that selected LLM model supports function calling
• Review tool definitions for correct parameter schemas
• Test MCP server independently to ensure tools work
• Try different LLM model that supports tool calling

API Key Errors

Symptoms: Invalid API key, Authentication failed, Rate limit errors

Cause: Incorrect or expired API keys for LLM providers

Solution:

• Verify API keys are correctly entered in Settings
• Check API key has not expired or been revoked
• Ensure API key has sufficient permissions
• Verify you have not exceeded rate limits or quotas
• Regenerate API key if issues persist

Model Switching Issues

Symptoms: Model not loading, Conversation context lost, Inconsistent behavior

Cause: Model compatibility or configuration issues

Solution:

• Ensure API key for selected model is configured
• Start new conversation when switching models
• Verify model supports required features (tool calling, etc.)
• Check model availability and status
• Review model-specific limitations and requirements

Actor Critic Thinking not appearing in MooPoint

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Actor Critic Thinking installation
• Restart MooPoint
• Check logs for error messages
