.FAF Context

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

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.

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

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
  • --all flag 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.


Tier System: From Blind to Optimized

Tier Score Status
🏆 TROPHY 100% AI never has to guess
GOLD 99%+ 1 slot from Trophy
SILVER 95%+ Close — keep going
BRONZE 85%+ Interim — keep going
GREEN 70%+ Interim — keep going
YELLOW 55%+ AI flipping coins
RED <55% AI working blind
WHITE 0% No context at all

At 55%, AI is guessing half the time. At 100%, AI is optimized.


use>faf | Prompt Pattern

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.
