fcop-mcp · Canonical MCP adapter for FCoP

mcp-name: io.github.joinwell52-AI/fcop

fcop-mcp exposes the official FCoP Python Core to Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients. It is a thin adapter over Core, which remains the sole authority for protocol facts, validation, state transitions, persistence, locking, and recovery.

Current version: 4.0.5. The default server exposes exactly 25 Canonical MCP Tools and 6 read-only Core Resources. The tool registry is derived from one canonical manifest. The resource registry projects versioned content owned by Core.

Install

Install the matching 4.0.5 package pair in a dedicated Python 3.10–3.13 environment:

python -m pip install "fcop==4.0.5" "fcop-mcp==4.0.5"

fcop-mcp==4.0.5 declares fcop>=4.0.5,<4.1.0. Verify both distributions:

python -c "from importlib.metadata import version; print('fcop', version('fcop')); print('fcop-mcp', version('fcop-mcp'))"
python -c "from fcop_mcp.server import mcp; print('fcop-mcp ready')"

fcop and fcop-mcp are released in lockstep within the same minor line. Do not mix incompatible minor versions.

macOS (Intel and Apple silicon)

FCoP MCP supports both Intel and Apple silicon Macs; Rosetta is not required. With Python 3.10–3.13:

python3 -m venv ~/.local/share/fcop/venv
~/.local/share/fcop/venv/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade \
  "fcop>=4.0.5,<4.1.0" \
  "fcop-mcp>=4.0.5,<4.1.0"

~/.local/share/fcop/venv/bin/fcop version
~/.local/share/fcop/venv/bin/fcop doctor
~/.local/share/fcop/venv/bin/fcop tools --json

The installed CLI provides init, status, inspect, validate, tools, doctor, version, spec, and migrate. MCP additionally requires a client that supports local stdio servers. Configure the command as the absolute /Users/.../.local/share/fcop/venv/bin/python path, pass ["-m", "fcop_mcp"], and set FCOP_PROJECT_DIR to the actual project root.

For an isolated launcher:

uvx --from fcop-mcp==4.0.5 --with fcop==4.0.5 fcop-mcp --root /absolute/path/to/repository

Canonical 4.0.5 surface

The workspace tools include init_workspace, inspect_workspace, and validate_workspace. create_task is the canonical TASK creation entry. Profiles are explicit extensions. Toolkit commands, compatibility shims, packaging operations, Host configuration, Runtime services, and application scaffolding are outside the default MCP registry.

Team models, Solo mode, ME or other fixed roles, seats, and Host sessions are not Base Protocol prerequisites. The default server neither requires nor creates them. init_workspace does not generate AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, role templates, or session state.

The prior inventory is the historical 49-tool implementation surface. It is not the current MCP contract. Every historical tool has one disposition in the 4.0.5 migration guide. For example, write_task is an opt-in deprecated Python compatibility shim, and fcop_audit is a Toolkit CLI command. Neither appears in default tools/list.

See the generated MCP tools reference for all 25 names, descriptions, and input schemas.

Configure an MCP client

A fixed virtual environment gives predictable startup and avoids importing a different editable package from another project.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fcop": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "fcop_mcp", "--root", "/absolute/path/to/repository"]
    }
  }
}

On Windows, command is the virtual environment's Scripts\\python.exe. Restart the MCP host after changing its configuration.

Installation only installs packages. It does not initialize or migrate a workspace, deploy rules, modify Host instructions, or configure another application.

CLI — Setup, inspect, and diagnose

CLI = Setup + Observe + Diagnose; MCP = Work.

python -m pip install fcop
fcop version
fcop doctor
fcop init --root ./my-project
fcop status --root ./my-project
fcop validate --root ./my-project

python -m pip install fcop-mcp
fcop tools
fcop tools merge_branches --json

The local CLI operates without starting MCP. fcop tools reads this adapter's canonical catalog without starting a server. Work operations such as create_task, lifecycle transitions, Branch merge, and authorization use MCP or the Python API. Canonical v4 workspace state belongs under <project>/fcop/. fcop doctor does not access the network or modify Host configuration.

Authority and package boundary

An optional authorization Profile and evaluator must be supplied by the trusted application. A role name, TASK field, Profile document, or tool argument does not grant authority by itself.

FCoP uses local stdio by default. Relay support is an explicit optional extra. Python applications that use Project directly only need fcop.

中文简介

fcop-mcp 4.0.5 是 FCoP Core 的薄 MCP 适配层。默认服务精确提供 25 个 Canonical MCP Tools和 6 个只读 Core Resources。 Core 是协议事实和状态迁移的唯一权威。Team、Solo、ME、seat、Host session、 Profile、Toolkit、Compatibility 与 Runtime 都不会成为 Base Protocol 的默认前置条件。 历史 49 工具实现面的每个入口均已在 4.0.5 迁移指南中给出明确去向。
