Run the FutureSearch HTTP MCP server locally with Docker Compose and optionally expose it via Cloudflare tunnel. Use when starting/stopping the local MCP server, debugging startup issues, connecting Claude.ai or Claude Desktop to a local instance, or checking server logs. Triggers on mcp local, mcp server, run mcp, mcp docker, mcp tunnel, cloudflare tunnel, mcp logs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Running the FutureSearch MCP Server Locally
Two-container stack: **mcp-server** (FastAPI on :8000) and **redis** (on :6379), orchestrated by `futuresearch-mcp/deploy/docker-compose.yaml` with local overrides.
## Pre-flight Checks
**CRITICAL: Always check for stale processes on port 8000 before starting.**
A leftover `futuresearch-mcp --no-auth` or similar process on the host will shadow the Docker container's port binding. All requests hit the stale process instead of the container — this can look like auth routes are broken, sheets tools are missing, etc.
```bash
# Check for anything on port 8000
lsof -i :8000
# Kill if needed
lsof -ti :8000 | xargs kill -9
```
Also check Docker is running:
```bash
docker info --format '{{.ServerVersion}}' || colima start
```
## Quick Start
```bash
cd futuresearch-mcp/deploy
REDIS_PASSWORD=testpass \
MCP_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8000 \
docker compose \
-f docker-compose.yaml \
-f docker-compose.local.yaml \
up -d --build
```
Verify: `curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8000/health` should return `200`.
### Optional env vars
Pass these alongside `REDIS_PASSWORD` and `MCP_SERVER_URL`:

How to install
mdr add futuresearch/futuresearch-python/run-mcp-local@sha256:37e44533fa4ebce6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260319.1c36b01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
