Fast Context MCP is a tool that lets you search code using natural language. It connects to an AI service that understands your query and finds relevant code files. It works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude Code or Cursor.
Fast Context MCP is an AI-driven semantic code search tool that implements the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard. It uses a reverse-engineered version of Windsurf's SWE-grep protocol to enable natural language code search. The tool bundles all dependencies via npm, including ripgrep via @vscode/ripgrep and tree via tree-node-cli, so no system-level installations are required. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The server maps your project to a /codebase directory, sends queries to the Windsurf Devstral API, which generates rg/readfile/tree commands. These commands are executed locally, and results are returned to the AI. The process repeats for multiple rounds to refine results. The tool returns file paths, line ranges, and suggested search keywords. It requires Node.js >= 18 and a Windsurf account (free tier works). Configuration is done via environment variables like WINDSURF_API_KEY, FC_MAX_TURNS, FC_MAX_COMMANDS, etc. The tool is published on npm as @sammysnake/fast-context-mcp.
