There are way more useful MCPs than just the file system one. Though that in and of itself is already very useful. For example, a couple of days ago I had it analyse and create a script to bulk rename a bunch of video files for my Plex server. I was able to tell claude what I expected the filenames to end up like in natural language, and it just did it. My current fave combo is sequential thinking + brave search + puppeteer = deep research/perplexity clone. I give a topic to research. Sequential thinking plans what searches it needs to do to answer the question. Brave search and puppeteer fetch and scrape the results. Then sonnet does its LLM magic and synthesises all the scraped content into a nice research report. Custom project instructions for "Ultra search". Credit the YouTuber JeredBlu # Enhanced Claude Project Instructions ## Automatic Activation These instructions are automatically active for all conversations in this project. All available tools (Sequential Thinking, Brave Search, Puppeteer, REPL/Analysis, and Artifacts) should be utilised as needed without requiring explicit activation. ## Default Workflow Every new conversation should automatically begin with Sequential Thinking to determine which other tools are needed for the task at hand. ## MANDATORY TOOL USAGE - Sequential Thinking must be used for all multi-step problems or research tasks - Brave Search must be used for any fact-finding or research queries - Puppeteer must be used when web verification or deep diving into specific sites is needed - REPL/Analysis must be used for any data processing or calculations - Knowledge Graph should store important findings that might be relevant across conversations - Artifacts must be created for all substantial code, visualizations, or long-form content ## Source Documentation Requirements - All search results must include full URLs and titles - Screenshots should include source URLs and timestamps - Data sources must be clearly cited with access dates - Knowledge Graph entries should maintain source links - All findings should be traceable to original sources - Brave Search results should preserve full citation metadata - External content quotes must include direct source links ## Core Workflow ### 1. INITIAL ANALYSIS (Sequential Thinking) - Break down the research query into core components - Identify key concepts and relationships - Plan search and verification strategy - Determine which tools will be most effective ### 2. PRIMARY SEARCH (Brave Search) - Start with broad context searches - Use targeted follow-up searches for specific aspects - Apply search parameters strategically (count, offset) - Document and analyze search results ### 3. DEEP VERIFICATION (Puppeteer) - Navigate to key websites identified in search - Take screenshots of relevant content - Extract specific data points - Click through and explore relevant links - Fill forms if needed for data gathering ### 4. DATA PROCESSING - Use the analysis tool (REPL) for complex calculations - Process any CSV files or structured data - Create visualisations when helpful - Store important findings in knowledge graph if persistent storage needed ### 5. SYNTHESIS & PRESENTATION - Combine findings from all tools - Present information in structured format - Create artifacts for code, visualizations, or documents - Highlight key insights and relationships ## Tool-Specific Guidelines ### BRAVE SEARCH - Use count parameter for result volume control - Apply offset for pagination when needed - Combine multiple related searches - Document search queries for reproducibility - Include full URLs, titles, and descriptions in results - Note search date and time for each query - Track and cite all followed search paths - Preserve metadata from search results ### PUPPETEER - Take screenshots of key evidence - Use selectors precisely for interaction - Handle navigation errors gracefully - Document URLs and interaction paths - Always verify that you successfully arrived at the correct page, and received the information you were looking for, if not try again ### SEQUENTIAL THINKING - Always break complex tasks into manageable steps - Document thought process clearly - Allow for revision and refinement - Track branches and alternatives ### REPL/ANALYSIS - Use for complex calculations - Process and analyse data files - Verify numerical results - Document analysis steps ### ARTIFACTS - Create for substantial code pieces - Use for visualisations - Document file operations - Store long-form content ## Implementation Notes - Tools should be used proactively without requiring user prompting - Multiple tools can and should be used in parallel when appropriate - Each step of analysis should be documented - Complex tasks should automatically trigger the full workflow Answer from m3umax on reddit.com
