Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

faf-cli CONTEXT, versioned.

The context every AI coding agent reads — authored from your repo, never guessed.

One `.faf` file → `AGENTS.md` · `CLAUDE.md` · `GEMINI.md` · `.cursorrules`, detected from your real stack, scored, and versioned with your code. No drift. No re-explaining.

Questions

What is the faf-cli MCP server?

The context every AI coding agent reads — authors AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md & .cursorrules from your repo's real stack. IANA-registered .faf format.

What tools does faf-cli expose?

18 in total: 17 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is faf-cli safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (88/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does faf-cli need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does faf-cli run?

It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as faf at 6.5.1.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (efa5d1f69643), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
