Local Foundation MCP

Official MCP server for the Local Foundation platform, enabling AI agents to manage startup ecosystems and community builders. It provides tools to read community profiles, list events, search for onboarding opportunities, and manage member accounts including creation, attribute setting, and community assignment. The server enforces strict scoping based on the caller's managed-community reach and uses bearer token authentication.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http local-foundation-mcp https://local.foundation/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add local-foundation-mcp --url https://local.foundation/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable local-foundation-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-foundation-mcp": {
      "url": "https://local.foundation/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-foundation-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://local.foundation/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start local-foundation-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "local-foundation-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://local.foundation/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http local-foundation-mcp https://local.foundation/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-foundation-mcp": {
      "url": "https://local.foundation/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-foundation-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://local.foundation/mcp"
    }
  }
}
