falai

What is Falai?

Falai is a Universal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server developed by universal-mcp, designed to provide a standardized interface for interacting with Fal.ai's tools and services. It acts as an intermediary, allowing various applications to leverage Fal.ai's fast inference engine for media generation through a unified API. The project is built using the Universal MCP framework, ensuring compatibility with other MCP-compliant services and tools.

How to use Falai?

Falai can be used directly through agentr.dev. Users can visit agentr.dev/apps and enable Falai. For those new to Universal MCP, setup instructions are available at agentr.dev/quickstart. For local development, prerequisites include Python 3.11+ and uv. The setup involves syncing project dependencies (uv sync), activating the virtual environment, starting the MCP Inspector (mcp dev src/universal_mcp_falai/server.py), and installing the application (mcp install src/universal_mcp_falai/server.py).

Local Development

📋 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before you begin:

• Python 3.11+ (recommended)
• uv (install globally with pip install uv)

🛠️ Setup Instructions

Follow the steps below to set up your development environment:

1. Sync Project Dependencies

   uv sync
   

   This installs all dependencies from pyproject.toml into a local virtual environment (.venv).

2. Activate the Virtual Environment

   For Linux/macOS:

   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   For Windows (PowerShell):

   .venv\Scripts\Activate
   

3. Start the MCP Inspector

   mcp dev src/universal_mcp_falai/server.py
   

   This will start the MCP inspector. Make note of the address and port shown in the console output.

4. Install the Application

   mcp install src/universal_mcp_falai/server.py
