# Factory

Factory's Droid CLI uses `droid mcp add` to register MCP servers. One command points Droid at the Cakewalk gateway. OAuth runs through the in-session `/mcp` interactive manager on first connection.

## Install Method

CLI command. Droid stores the server config in `~/.factory/mcp.json` (user scope) or `.factory/mcp.json` in the project root (project scope, shared via Git).

## Step 1: Run droid mcp add

In your terminal, run:

```bash
droid mcp add cakewalk https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/mcp --type http
```

Running this command from outside a project directory typically registers at user scope. Running it from inside a project (where `.factory/mcp.json` exists or is created) registers at project scope and can be shared with your team via Git.

## Step 2: Authenticate

Start a Droid session and run:

```
/mcp
```

Droid opens the interactive MCP manager. Select the cakewalk server, follow the browser prompt to authenticate with your Cakewalk account and approve the Connection.

## Verifying It Works

In a Droid session, run `/mcp` to open the manager. The cakewalk server appears with its connection status and the tools it exposes. In Cakewalk, the Factory card on **My Agents** flips to **Connected** after the first agent call.

## Troubleshooting

* **Server missing from /mcp:** confirm the scope. A server added at one project's `.factory/mcp.json` does not appear in another. Re-run `droid mcp add` from the right directory, or add at user scope with no `.factory/mcp.json` present in the current directory.
* **OAuth browser prompt does not appear:** open `/mcp` in Droid and trigger the authentication flow from the interactive manager directly.

## Other Install Paths

You can skip the CLI and edit `~/.factory/mcp.json` (user) or `.factory/mcp.json` (project) directly. The CLI command above produces the same effect; manual edit is the alternative for teams managing config in source control.
