<i>A file search toolkit for humans and AI agents. Really fast.</i>
A file search toolkit for humans and AI agents. Really fast.. The fff.nvim mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 7 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Modes — Three operating modes, switchable at runtime with /fff-mode:Commands — The Pi extension swaps pi's native tools for FFF implementations and feeds the interactive editor's @-mention autocomplete from the frecency-rankedInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverConfiguration — flex = { size = 130, wrap = 'top' }, min_list_height = 10, -- do not display anything except the list below this threshold show_scrollbar = trueConstraints — Mix freely: git:modified src//*.rs !src//mod.rs user controllerTroubleshooting — The best file search picker for neovim. Period. Faster and more intuitive queries, frecency ranking, definition classification and much moreBuild — The Build tool exposed by this server@ff-labs/fff-node on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Fff.Nvim's toolset — Modes, Commands, Installation and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dmtrkovalenko; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Modes | Three operating modes, switchable at runtime with /fff-mode: |
| Commands | The Pi extension swaps pi's native tools for FFF implementations and feeds the interactive editor's @-mention autocomplete from the frecency-ranked index. |
| Installation | The Installation tool exposed by this server. |
| Configuration | flex = { size = 130, wrap = 'top' }, min_list_height = 10, -- do not display anything except the list below this threshold show_scrollbar = true, path_shorten_strategy = 'middle_number', -- 'middle_number' | 'middle' | ' |
| Constraints | Mix freely: git:modified src/**/*.rs !src/**/mod.rs user controller. |
| Troubleshooting | The best file search picker for neovim. Period. Faster and more intuitive queries, frecency ranking, definition classification and much more. |
