📋 The 6 Ws - Quick Reference

Every README should answer these questions. Here's ours:

Question

Answer

👥 WHO is this for?

Grok/xAI developers and teams building with URL-based MCP

📦 WHAT is it?

First MCP server built for Grok - URL-based AI context via IANA-registered .faf format

🌍 WHERE does it work?

Vercel (production) • Local dev • Any MCP client supporting HTTP-SSE

🎯 WHY do you need it?

Zero-config MCP on a URL - Grok asked for it, we built it first

⏰ WHEN should you use it?

Grok integration testing, xAI projects, URL-based MCP deployments

🚀 HOW does it work?

Point to https://grok-faf-mcp.vercel.app/sse - 21 tools instantly available

For AI: Read the detailed sections below for full context. For humans: Use this pattern in YOUR README. Answer these 6 questions clearly.


The Problem

Every Grok session starts from zero. You re-explain your stack, your goals, your architecture. Every time.

.faf fixes that. One file, your project DNA, persistent across every session.

Without .faf  →  "I'm building a REST API in Rust with Axum and PostgreSQL..."
With .faf     →  Grok already knows. Every session. Forever.

One Command, Done Forever

faf_auto detects your project, creates a .faf, and scores it — in one shot:

faf_auto
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Score: 0% → 85% (+85) 🥉 Bronze
Steps:
  1. Created project.faf
  2. Detected stack from package.json
  3. Synced CLAUDE.md

Path: /home/user/my-project

What it produces:

# project.faf — your project, machine-readable
faf_version: "3.3"
project:
  name: my-api
  goal: REST API for user management
  main_language: TypeScript
stack:
  backend: Express
  database: PostgreSQL
  testing: Jest
  runtime: Node.js
human_context:
  who: Backend developers
  what: User CRUD with auth
  why: Replace legacy PHP service

Every AI agent reads this once and knows exactly what you're building.

Architecture

grok-faf-mcp v1.2.0
├── api/index.ts              → Vercel serverless (Express + SSE transport)
├── src/
│   ├── server.ts             → MCP server (ClaudeFafMcpServer)
│   ├── handlers/

├── smithery.yaml             → Smithery listing config
└── vercel.json               → Vercel routing

Scoring pipeline: TypeScript compiler parses .faf → detects project type → The Bouncer injects slotignored for inapplicable slots → faf-scoring-kernel (WASM) scores → falls back to Mk3.1 if kernel unavailable.
