TL;DR: grok-faf-mcp v1.1.1 ships with 21 MCP tools (was showing 17), a fresh landing page, MCP SDK 1.27, and a 65% smaller npm tarball. The first MCP server built for Grok just got its first real refresh since launch.

The Story

Grok asked for MCP on a URL. We built it.

That was November 2025. grok-faf-mcp shipped as the first MCP server specifically built for Grok/xAI, deployed on Vercel with URL-based access. No installation required. Point your integration at the endpoint, get instant access to 21 MCP tools using the IANA-registered .faf format.

Four months later, it was time for a refresh. Not a rewrite. A refresh.

What Changed

21 Tools, Not 17

The landing page and README were showing 17 tools. The server actually had 21. Fixed everywhere: landing page stats, OG meta tags, README, deploy section. What you see is what you get.

The Fresh Landing Page

Fresh Inter typography, stats bar (21 / 0 config / 19ms), endpoint cards, Three Ways to Deploy grid. The Big Orange still pulses. The dedication stays. The squeeze stays.

Dependencies Refreshed

  • MCP SDK 1.26.0 → 1.27.1
  • faf-cli 4.5.0 → 5.0.1
  • CI actions updated (setup-node v6, artifacts v7/v8)

Tarball Trimmed

874 KB → 306 KB. 65% smaller. Removed a 438KB thumbnail (GitHub-only, for OG tags), five discord-sync scripts (dev tooling), and oversized icons. Nothing users need was removed.
