MCP

🚀 OpenFeature MCP

OpenFeature is an open - specification API for feature flagging. It's vendor - agnostic and community - driven, working with your preferred feature flag management tools or in - house solutions. The OpenFeature MCP Server allows AI coding assistants to interact with OpenFeature, offering SDK installation guidance and feature flag evaluation in AI - powered development environments.

🚀 Quick Start

NPX Install

The simplest way to use the OpenFeature MCP Server is via NPX, which doesn't require installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

NPM Global Install

You can install the MCP server globally:

npm install -g @openfeature/mcp

Then configure your AI assistant to use the global installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "openfeature-mcp"
    }
  }
}

✨ Features

The OpenFeature MCP Server enables AI coding assistants to interact with OpenFeature through a standardized protocol. It acts as a bridge between AI assistants and OpenFeature capabilities, providing SDK installation guidance and feature flag evaluation.

📦 Installation

This server is published to the MCP Registry under dev.openfeature/mcp.

💻 Usage Examples

SDK Installation Example

"install the OpenFeature SDK for Node.js with the flagd provider" The AI will use the MCP to fetch relevant installation instructions and attempt to install the OpenFeature SDK with the correct provider.

Flag Evaluation Example

When interacting with your AI assistant:

"Can you check the value of the 'new - checkout - flow' feature flag for 'user - 123'?" The AI will use the MCP to evaluate the flag using OFREP and provide you with the result, along with additional metadata like variant and reason.

AI Assistant Configuration

Cursor

📦 Install in Cursor To open Cursor and automatically add the OpenFeature MCP, click the install button above. Alternatively, navigate to Cursor Settings -> Tools & MCP -> New MCP Server and add to ~/.cursor/mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code

📦 Install in VS Code To open VS Code and automatically add the OpenFeature MCP, click the install button above. Alternatively, add to .continue/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server via the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add --transport stdio openfeature npx -y @openfeature/mcp

Then manage the connection with /mcp in the CLI.

Windsurf

In the Manage MCP servers raw config, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.openfeature]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]

Restart Codex CLI after saving.

Gemini CLI

Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "OpenFeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Gemini CLI after saving.

Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfeature": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openfeature/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Available Tools

SDK Installation Guide: install_openfeature_sdk

Fetches installation instructions for OpenFeature SDKs in various languages and frameworks. Optionally includes provider - specific setup documentation.

SDK Tool Parameters

Supported Technologies

The technologies list is built from the available prompts/*.md, updated automatically using scripts/build - prompts.js

Supported Providers

The provider list is automatically sourced from the OpenFeature ecosystem (open - feature/openfeature.dev repo). See scripts/build - providers.js for details on how the provider list is maintained.

OFREP Flag Evaluation: ofrep_flag_eval

Evaluate feature flags using the OpenFeature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP). Supports both single flag and bulk evaluation.

OFREP Tool Parameters

OFREP Configuration

To use OFREP flag evaluation features, configure authentication and endpoint details. The server checks configuration in this priority order:

1. Environment Variables
   • OPENFEATURE_OFREP_BASE_URL or OFREP_BASE_URL
   • OPENFEATURE_OFREP_BEARER_TOKEN or OFREP_BEARER_TOKEN
   • OPENFEATURE_OFREP_API_KEY or OFREP_API_KEY
2. Configuration File: ~/.openfeature - mcp.json Example ~/.openfeature - mcp.json:

{
  "OFREP": {
    "baseUrl": "https://flags.example.com",
    "bearerToken": "<your - token>",
    "apiKey": "<your - api - key>"
  }
}

You can override the config file path using the OPENFEATURE_MCP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

🔧 Technical Details

The OpenFeature MCP Server is a local tool that connects AI coding assistants (like Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and Windsurf) to OpenFeature functionality. It enables intelligent code generation and migration, SDK installation guidance, and feature flag evaluation.

⚠️ Important Note

• Active Development: This project is in active development. Features and APIs may change.
• AI Agent Behavior: AI agents are non - deterministic and may not complete tasks correctly. Always manually review their changes before committing. If you encounter issues, please [open an issue](https://github.com/open - feature/mcp/issues) with details about your AI agent (e.g., Claude Code + Sonnet 4.5, Cursor + gpt - 5 - codex) with the commands you used and the behavior you saw.

💡 Usage Tip All logs are written to stderr. The MCP protocol messages use stdout.
