Set up MCP and CLI

Give your AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) direct access to read, search, and create Falconer documents without leaving your development environment.

Capabilities

You can use the MCP from Claude code, Claude desktop, Cursor, Codex, and anything that runs locally.

The Falconer MCP and CLI expose 4 functions:

• read: allows your agents to read Falconer docs that you give it the link to
• search: searches across your Falconer documents
• create: write a new Falconer document to your private space, where you can clean it up and publish it to the company-wide information architecture
• edit: make targeted edits to an existing Falconer document by providing the document identifier

If you have a use case for any other functionality, reach out to us!

1. Install CLI and authenticate

npm install -g @falconer/cli
falconer login

Generate your API key in the Falconer UI, then enter it when prompted. Your credentials are stored at ~/.config/falconer/config.json.

2. Add MCP server

Claude Code:

claude mcp add falconer --scope user -- npx @falconer/mcp@latest

Cursor:

Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "falconer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@falconer/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

3. Verify

• Claude Code: Restart and run /mcp
• Cursor: Open Command Palette -> “View: Open MCP Settings”
