faf-mcp is a MCP server that supplies IANA .faf persistent project context to Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code over stdio.
About
faf-mcp is the IDE-focused MCP server in the FAF family, built so editor-native agents can share one persistent project context file instead of fragile chat scrollback. Developers who live in Cursor or Windsurf install it when switching branches, models, or sessions should not reset the agent on stack choices, folder layout, or naming rules. The package runs through npx with stdio transport, which matches how most IDE MCP panels expect local servers. It promotes the same IANA-registered.faf format as the Claude and Gemini variants, so you can standardize context shape even if you use multiple agents during a sprint. This edition is the right default when Claude-specific or Gemini-specific servers are not your daily driver. It is context infrastructure, not deployment or testing automation—you still own git, CI, and production monitoring separately.
- Dedicated IDE Edition titled .FAF Context for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code
- npm package faf-mcp v2.1.2 with stdio transport and runtimeHint npx
- IANA-registered .faf format shared with the broader faf.one ecosystem
- Repository Wolfe-Jam/faf-mcp; website faf.one
- stdio-only IDE package—differs from Claude SSE or Grok HTTP remotes

What it does
Attach.faf persistent project context to Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or VS Code agents via the dedicated IDE edition MCP server.
Who is it for?
Best when your primary loop is Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or VS Code with MCP enabled.
Skip if: Claude-only remote SSE setups or Gemini Python FastMCP stacks without an IDE stdio client.
What you get
Register faf-mcp with npx stdio so your editor agent reads and updates one .faf file that travels with the repo.
- IDE MCP server wired for .faf read/write
- Portable project context shared across editor agent sessions
- Documented npx stdio launch pattern for faf-mcp
By the numbers
- Package faf-mcp version 2.1.2 on npm with stdio transport
- runtimeHint npx; title .FAF Context in server manifest

faf-mcp
Persistent Project Context for Cursor, IDEs and VS Code. Define once. Sync everywhere.
Home: wolfe-jam.github.io/faf-mcp · Hosted MCP endpoint: https://ide.faf.one/mcp/v1 (Streamable HTTP)
The MCP you didn't realise you needed, or wanted but didn't know who to ask, is here. Building on 62,000+ downloads across the FAF ecosystem, we bring you faf-mcp to cure your syncing pain and fuel your chosen AI with optimized context, on-demand.
What's New in 2.3.0 — The Curated Edition
The tools you actually need, up front. faf-mcp now leads with 15 essential tools by default — a clean, focused surface instead of a wall of options. Need everything? Set FAF_TOOLS=all for the full 29 (every tool stays callable by name either way). And every Core tool's description was rewritten so your AI picks the right one, first time.
Define once. Sync everywhere.
You maintain .cursorrules. Your teammate uses AGENTS.md. Someone on the team just switched to Gemini. Every AI tool wants its own context file — and they all say the same thing in different formats.
faf-mcp is the dedicated MCP server for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, and every non-Claude platform. One .faf file in your repo, synced to every format your team needs.

Quick Start
bunx faf-mcp
Add to your MCP config:
{"mcpServers": {"faf": {"command": "bunx", "args": ["faf-mcp"]}}}
| Platform | Config File |
|---|---|
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/mcp.json |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |

Three Ways to Deploy
| Door | Method | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted | mcpaas.live | Zero-install, point any MCP client to the URL |
| Self-Deploy | Deploy to Vercel | Your own instance, full control |
| Local | bunx faf-mcp |
IDE integration via stdio transport |
Hosted (mcpaas.live)
Point your MCP client to https://ide.faf.one/mcp/v1 — no install, no config, no maintenance. Served from 300+ Cloudflare edges with sub-ms cold starts via 2.7KB Zig-WASM engine.
Self-Deploy (Vercel)
Deploy your own MCP server on Vercel in one click. Once deployed, your server exposes:
/health— Health check/info— Server metadata + tool list/mcp/v1— MCP Streamable HTTP transport
Local (npm)
npx faf-mcp

Cloud Sync
Share your FAF context globally via mcpaas.live:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
faf_cloud_publish |
Upload to cloud, get shareable URL |
faf_cloud_fetch |
Pull context from cloud |
faf_cloud_list |
List available souls |
faf_cloud_search |
Search across souls |
faf_cloud_share |
Generate share links |
Example Workflow:
# Upload your project.faf
faf_cloud_publish { soul_name: "my-project" }
→ https://mcpaas.live/souls/my-project
# Anyone can fetch it
faf_cloud_fetch { soul_name: "my-project" }
→ Context merged into local project.faf
Zero-install sharing - Recipients need no MCP setup. Served from 300+ Cloudflare edges with <1ms cold starts via 2.7KB Zig-WASM engine.
Eternal Bi-Sync
Your .faf file and your platform context files stay synchronized in milliseconds.
project.faf ←── 8ms ──→ .cursorrules / AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md
Single source of truth
- Update either side → both stay aligned
--allflag syncs to all four formats at once- Zero manual maintenance
- Works across teams, branches, sessions
AI assistants forget. They drift. Every new session, AI starts guessing again. Bi-sync means context never goes stale.

Use FAF to initialize my project
Use FAF to score my AI-readiness
Use FAF to sync my context
Use FAF to enhance my project
Works on all platforms — stops web search, forces tool usage.
