April 24, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Quick Start (No Repository Clone Required)
You can run the FastEdge MCP Server with just Docker and a single configuration file.
If you have the FastEdge VSCode Extension installed, use: Ctrl + Shift + P & FastEdge (Generate mcp.json)
Otherwise follow on:
Step 1: Create MCP Configuration
Create a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace with the following content:
{
"servers": {
"fastedge-assistant": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "bash",
"args": [
"-c",
"docker run --rm -i --pull=always -v ${workspaceFolder}:/workspace -e WORKSPACE_ROOT=/workspace -e \"GCORE_API_KEY=$GCORE_API_KEY\" ghcr.io/g-core/fastedge-mcp-server:latest"
],
"env": {
"GCORE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Step 2: Start VS Code
- Open VS Code in your workspace
- The MCP server will automatically pull the Docker image and start
- No repository cloning required!
