This MCP server brings Clayton Christensen's strategic frameworks into your decisionmaking workflow. By connecting the Christensen MCP to your environment, you can analyze decisions through Jobs-to-Be-Done, disruption theory, capabilities processes priorities, and resource dependence, enabling theory-grounded insights and thoughtful questions that align with Christensen’s thinking.

How to use

You can use this MCP server with an MCP client to guide strategic discussions. When you invoke a tool, the server structures your decision through Christensen’s frameworks, suggests diagnostic questions, connects to canonical case studies, and presents insights in Christensen’s distinctive voice. Expect questions about the customer’s job, whether a move is sustaining or disruptive, and your organization’s actual capabilities and constraints.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system. You will clone the project, install dependencies, and build the MCP server before you can run it locally.

Install Christensen MCP Server locally

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/m2ai-mcp-servers/mcp-christensen.git
cd mcp-christensen

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

Run the MCP server locally

After building, run the server using the compiled index. Use the path you built to point to the dist index file.

node /path/to/mcp-christensen/dist/index.js

Configure your MCP client to connect

Your client configuration should reference the MCP server entry points shown in the installation steps. The server exports a standard entry that you invoke from your client, so specify the command and arguments to launch the MCP process within your client’s configuration.
