Independent verification for coding agents.

FalseGreen gives your AI coding agent an independent completion-authority loop. When the agent says "I'm done," FalseGreen runs your frozen acceptance criteria against an immutable source snapshot and tells the agent whether the work actually passes — instead of trusting the agent's own self-assessment.

This crate is the client shim — a tiny native binary that:

  • speaks STDIO MCP to your coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
  • authenticates to the FalseGreen service with your API key
  • forwards tool calls over HTTPS to mcp.falsegreen.com
  • manages device activation and credentials locally

The actual verification engine lives server-side. This binary contains no verification logic.

Install

cargo install falsegreen

Quick start

# 1. Log in (activates this device with your Polar license key)
falsegreen login --token YOUR_FALSEGREEN_KEY

# 2. Install into your agent
falsegreen install codex           # Codex CLI (STDIO)
falsegreen install codex-vscode    # Codex in VS Code (STDIO)
falsegreen install github-copilot  # GitHub Copilot in VS Code (HTTP)
falsegreen install claude-code     # Claude Code (HTTP)
falsegreen install opencode        # OpenCode (HTTP)
falsegreen install cursor          # Cursor (HTTP)

# 3. Verify
codex mcp list   # for Codex

Codex will now launch falsegreen mcp as a STDIO MCP server. HTTP-based agents (Copilot, Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor) connect directly to mcp.falsegreen.com.

Tool Purpose
falsegreen_create_task Register a new task with a goal
falsegreen_save_contract_draft Draft acceptance criteria
falsegreen_validate_contract Validate the contract draft
falsegreen_freeze_contract Freeze the contract (locks criteria + verifier)
falsegreen_get_assignment Get compact immutable requirements
falsegreen_check_completion Run the independent verifier
falsegreen_get_status Check task status without verifying
falsegreen_get_repair_feedback Get failure details from the last run
falsegreen_get_contract_schema Get the JSON schema for contracts
falsegreen_get_contract Get the frozen contract
falsegreen_mark_unresolved Mark a task as unresolved

Commands

falsegreen mcp

Run the MCP server over STDIO. This is what Codex launches automatically. You rarely run this manually.

falsegreen login --token <key>

Activate this device and store credentials. Uses one of your device activation slots (2 by default, managed by Polar). The key is stored in ~/.config/falsegreen/credentials.toml.

falsegreen logout

Deactivate this device (frees the activation slot) and remove local credentials.

falsegreen status

Show authentication state, device activation ID, and API endpoint.

falsegreen install <agent>

Install FalseGreen into an agent's MCP configuration. Supported agents:

Agent Command Mode Config file
Codex CLI falsegreen install codex STDIO ~/.codex/config.toml
Codex in VS Code falsegreen install codex-vscode STDIO .vscode/mcp.json
GitHub Copilot falsegreen install github-copilot HTTP .vscode/mcp.json
Claude Code falsegreen install claude-code HTTP .mcp.json
OpenCode falsegreen install opencode HTTP opencode.json
Cursor falsegreen install cursor HTTP .cursor/mcp.json

STDIO agents spawn falsegreen mcp as a subprocess. HTTP agents connect directly to mcp.falsegreen.com with your X-API-KEY header.

Configuration

Environment variables

Variable Default Description
FALSEGREEN_KEY (none) API key (overrides stored credentials)
FALSEGREEN_API_URL https://mcp.falsegreen.com/v1/mcp MCP service URL

Credentials file

~/.config/falsegreen/credentials.toml:

token = "POLAR_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
activation_id = "uuid-of-device-activation"

Direct HTTP MCP (without the shim)

If your agent supports remote MCP servers, you can connect directly without installing the Rust binary:

URL: https://mcp.falsegreen.com/v1/mcp
Header: X-API-KEY: YOUR_FALSEGREEN_KEY
