gemini-faf-mcp — The Dart Edition

Persistent Project Context for Google Gemini. Define once. Sync everywhere.

FAF defines. MD instructs. AI codes.

⭐ A star helps other devs discover gemini-faf-mcp — despite the downloads, ~3 of 4 devs check stars first.

Stop re-explaining your project to every new Gemini session. Every Gemini conversation starts cold — you re-state your stack, your goals, your conventions every single time. .faf is one structured file that captures all of it. This package is the MCP server that lets Gemini read it.

Before and after

Without FAF                           With FAF (.faf at 85%+ Bronze)
─────────────────────────             ─────────────────────────
You: "I'm using FastAPI with...       You: "Add a /users/me endpoint"
      PostgreSQL, pytest, and..."     Gemini: [generates correct code,
Gemini: "Got it. What's the              uses your auth pattern,
        codebase like?"                  matches your test style]
You: "It's a REST API for..."
[5 minutes of re-explaining]
Gemini: [now ready to help]

.faf is read once at session start. Every tool call lands on a Gemini that already knows your project.

What's New in v2.5.0 — The Dart Edition

v2.5.1 — one.faf namespace migration: gemini joins the fleet on one.faf/gemini-faf-mcp (registry publish now DNS-authenticated). No tool or behaviour changes.

gemini-faf-mcp now understands Dart and Flutter projects.

Detects Dart/Flutter from a pubspec.yaml — Flutter app vs package · Dart MCP / backend / CLI / library — by composing faf-python-sdk's detector, the shared engine, not a fork. Zero-Config, 12 exact tools.

v2.4.3 made faf_agents / faf_gemini non-destructive (inject a structured .faf block, preserve your Markdown below). v2.4.2 — The Confinement Edition confined every caller path argument (security). v2.4.0 — The Chameleon Edition auto-selects its transport: stdio locally, Streamable HTTP on Cloud Run. 12 tools, zero config.

One-Minute Setup

1. Install

uvx gemini-faf-mcp          # zero-install run via uvx (fetched from PyPI)
# or: pip3 install gemini-faf-mcp

2. Add to Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Wolfe-Jam/gemini-faf-mcp

3. Author your project context

In your Gemini CLI:

> /faf:setup

You should see: Created project.faf — Score: 85% (BRONZE). From this point, every Gemini session in this project reads it automatically.

Tip: A score of 85% (BRONZE) is the minimum where Gemini stops guessing. Run /faf:score to see what's missing and how to push to 100% (TROPHY).

---

The "One-File" Advantage

A .faf file is structured YAML that captures your project DNA. Every AI agent reads it once and knows exactly what you're building.

# project.faf — your project, machine-readable
faf_version: '2.5.0'
project:
  name: my-api
  goal: REST API for user management
  main_language: Python
stack:
  backend: FastAPI
  database: PostgreSQL
  testing: pytest
human_context:
  who: Backend developers
  what: User CRUD with auth
  why: Replace legacy PHP service

Result: Gemini reads this once and knows your project. No 20-minute onboarding. No wrong assumptions. Every session starts aligned.

FAF defines. MD instructs. AI codes.

What about my GEMINI.md?

You don't replace it. .faf authors it. Run faf_gemini and you get a fresh GEMINI.md with the structured project data baked in as YAML frontmatter — the same GEMINI.md Gemini CLI already reads, but authored from a single source of truth instead of hand-maintained.

> /faf:export
# Generates GEMINI.md from project.faf

.faf is the source. GEMINI.md is one of its outputs. Same logic for AGENTS.md (OpenAI Codex), .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, and others — write once, render everywhere.

Auto-Detect Your Stack

faf_auto scans your project's manifest files and authors a .faf with accurate slot values. No manual entry needed.

> Auto-detect my project stack

{
  "detected": {
    "main_language": "Python",
    "package_manager": "pip",
    "build_tool": "setuptools",
    "framework": "FastMCP",
    "api_type": "MCP",
    "database": "BigQuery"
  },
  "score": 100,
  "tier": "TROPHY"
}

What it scans:

| File | Detects | |------|---------| | pyproject.toml | Python + build system + frameworks (FastAPI, Django, Flask, FastMCP) + databases | | package.json | JavaScript/TypeScript + frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js, Express) | | Cargo.toml | Rust + cargo + frameworks (Axum, Actix) | | go.mod | Go + go modules + frameworks (Gin, Echo) | | requirements.txt | Python (fallback) | | Gemfile | Ruby | | composer.json | PHP |

Priority rule: pyproject.toml / Cargo.toml / go.mod take priority over package.json. Only sets values that are actually detected — no hardcoded defaults.

Score and Tier System

Your .faf file is scored on completeness — how many slots are filled with real values.

| Score | Tier | Meaning | |-------|------|---------| | 100% | TROPHY | AI has full context for your project | | 99% | GOLD | Exceptional | | 95% | SILVER | Top tier | | 85% | BRONZE | Minimum recommended — AI can build from here | | 70% | GREEN | Solid foundation | | 55% | YELLOW | Needs improvement | | <55% | RED | Major gaps — AI will guess | | 0% | WHITE | Empty |

Aim for Bronze (85%+). That's where AI stops guessing and starts knowing.

Architecture

gemini-faf-mcp v2.4.2
├── server.py              → FastMCP MCP server (12 tools, dual-transport, Mk4 scoring)
├── safe_path.py           → path confinement for caller-supplied `path` args
├── main.py                → Cloud Run REST API (GET/POST/PUT)
├── models.py              → 15 project type examples
└── src/gemini_faf_mcp/    → Python SDK (FAFClient, parser)

The MCP server delegates to faf-python-sdk for parsing, validation, and Mk4 scoring. Stack detection in faf_auto is Python-native — no external CLI dependencies.

---

Testing

pip3 install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest tests/ -v

233 tests passing across 9 WJTTC tiers (137 MCP server + 55 Cloud Function + 41 Mk4 WJTTC championship). Championship-grade test coverage — WJTTC certified.

FAF Ecosystem

One format, every AI platform.

| Package | Platform | Registry | |---------|----------|----------| | claude-faf-mcp | Anthropic | npm + MCP #2759 | | gemini-faf-mcp | Google | PyPI | | grok-faf-mcp | xAI | npm | | rust-faf-mcp | Rust | crates.io | | faf-cli | Universal | npm |

Python SDK

Use FAF directly in Python without MCP:

from gemini_faf_mcp import FAFClient, parse_faf, validate_faf, find_faf_file

# Parse and validate locally
data = parse_faf("project.faf")
result = validate_faf(data)
print(f"Score: {result['score']}%, Tier: {result['tier']}")

# Find .faf files automatically
faf_path = find_faf_file(".")

# Or use the Cloud Run endpoint
client = FAFClient()
dna = client.get_project_dna()

---

Cloud Run REST API

Live endpoint for badges, multi-agent context brokering, and voice-to-FAF mutations.

https://faf-source-of-truth-631316210911.us-east1.run.app

Supports agent-optimized responses (Gemini, Claude, Grok, Jules, Codex/Copilot/Cursor) via X-FAF-Agent header. Voice mutations via Gemini Live through PUT endpoint. Auto-deploys via Cloud Build on push to main.
