### Description (declared)

# factors-mcp

Python package exposing a **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server for Factors.ai — list/create/update agents, run agents against domains, and use bundled prompt guidelines.

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- A Factors **private API token** (`FACTORS_API_KEY`) with access to the Factors API (`FACTORS_API_URL`)

## Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `FACTORS_API_KEY` | _(required)_ | Private API token for Factors API calls |
| `FACTORS_API_URL` | `https://api.factors.ai` | Factors API base URL |
| `FACTORS_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | `30` | HTTP timeout (seconds) for all tool calls except `run_agent` |

`run_agent` always uses a **300s** HTTP timeout because agent runs can take several minutes.

## Client configuration (Claude Desktop & Cursor)

Both clients drive the server over **stdio**. Point them at the Python interpreter or console script from the **same virtualenv** where you installed `factors-mcp`, and pass your API credentials in **`env`** (do not commit real keys into shared project files).

### Claude Desktop

1. Quit Claude Desktop completely.
2. Open the config file in a text editor:
   - **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
   - **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
3. Merge the `mcpServers` entry below with any existing `mcpServers` object (do not remove other servers).

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "factors-ai": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "factors-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FACTORS_API_KEY": "your_private_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

### Cursor

1. Create or edit an MCP config file (JSON):
   - **Project:** `<repo-root>/.cursor/mcp.json` (optional; share with the team without secrets)
   - **User-wide:** `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (macOS/Linux) or `%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json` (Windows)
2. Add a `mcpServers` entry (merge with existing servers if the file already exists)…
