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.

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 | npx faf-mcp |
IDE integration via stdio transport |
Hosted (mcpaas.live)
Point your MCP client to https://mcpaas.live/sse — 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/sse— MCP Server-Sent Events 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.
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.
