Summary
Fern now hosts two MCP servers — the public documentation server and the authenticated organization server (
https://fai.buildwithfern.com/mcp) — so this PR gives them a canonical page and reworks the quickstart mentions to point at it instead of introducing each server inline.New page
/learn/docs/ai-features/fern-mcp-servers. A table of both servers, per-client setup (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot) in<CodeBlocks>, what the org server exposes (sites and config, deployments, analytics, reader signals, members), and the two operational facts agents get wrong: the OAuth login needs a human at the browser, and a server registered mid-session isn't callable until the next session. Capabilities and read-only scope were verified againstfai/agent/mcp_server.pyand the tool registry (docs-editing tools carryexclude_access_from={"mcp"}), including the org-scoped/organizations/{org}/mcpURL that multi-org accounts need."Set up your coding agent" is no longer
llms-onlyin both the Docs quickstart and the SDKinit-fern-foldersnippet. Humans now see ~3 lines plus the Claude Code commands wrapped in<llms-ignore>, framed as "this is what your agent is about to do"; the full per-client instructions stay in<llms-only>unchanged. This also fixes the previous ordering problem where the public server first appeared, unexplained, in the post-publish org section.Cross-links from
