FastEdge MCP Server - Standalone Setup

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

  1. Open VS Code in your workspace
  2. The MCP server will automatically pull the Docker image and start
  3. No repository cloning required!

What This Does

  • Pulls ghcr.io/g-core/fastedge-mcp-server:latest from GitHub Container Registry
  • Mounts your current workspace as /workspace in the container
  • Runs the MCP server with stdio transport
  • Automatically handles file permissions with your user ID

Manual Testing

You can test the Docker image manually:

docker run --rm -i --pull=always \
  -v "$(pwd):/workspace" \
  -e "WORKSPACE_ROOT=/workspace" \
  -e "GCORE_API_KEY=your_api_key" \
  ghcr.io/g-core/fastedge-mcp-server:latest

Requirements

  • Docker installed and running
  • VS Code with MCP extension
  • FastEdge API key

That's it! No need to clone the repository or manage dependencies locally.
