What is a #local-first MCP server?
An MCP server tagged #local-first implements the Model Context Protocol so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code can access local-first-related tools, data, or APIs.
Every MCP server and client below is tagged #local-first — install one to give Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any other MCP-compatible client access to local-first tools.
