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.

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
Cline	Cline MCP settings
VS Code	MCP extension config
Claude Desktop	Use claude-faf-mcp

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
• --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

Start every prompt with "Use FAF" to invoke MCP tools:

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.
