Factory Droid - Memory Crystal

Recommended: universal installer

Use the universal installer first. It can configure this target for hosted cloud or local Docker Convex and creates config backups before writing.

Agent Instructions

Copy and paste this directly into Factory Droid:

Install Memory Crystal for Factory Droid. Run the official installer command for this machine, follow the auth/backend prompts, and do not manually edit Factory Droid config unless the installer fails and asks for a manual fallback. After installation, run `droid mcp list` when available or reopen Factory Droid and confirm Memory Crystal tools are available.

macOS/Linux/WSL:
curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/crystal | bash -s -- --targets factory-droid

Windows PowerShell:
iwr https://memorycrystal.ai/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1; .\install.ps1 -Targets factory-droid

curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/crystal | bash -s -- --targets factory-droid

For native Windows PowerShell, use:

iwr https://memorycrystal.ai/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1
.\install.ps1 -Targets factory-droid

For local data storage, add --backend local in Bash or -Backend local in PowerShell. See Local-First Setup. Factory Droid can use Memory Crystal as its memory helper, just like other MCP-compatible coding assistants.

What this means in practice

The repo names this integration Factory Droid. That should be the canonical public docs name, even if people casually say “Factory” or “Factory Drone.”

How it actually works

Important repo surfaces:

apps/web/public/install-droid-mcp.sh
packages/mcp-server/README.md
.env.example

The installer handles:

CLI detection
auth flow
MCP registration
local Memory Crystal support file setup

Universal installer path

The recommended first install path is the universal installer:

curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/crystal | bash

Use it when you want Memory Crystal to detect Factory Droid, ask before changing config, and offer cloud or local-first backend mode. The dedicated commands below remain useful for single-client installs and compatibility.

Commands / examples

Installer:

curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/install-droid-mcp.sh | bash

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/uninstall-droid-mcp.sh | bash

For purge behavior and safety notes, see the uninstall guide.

Common mistakes

drifting from the actual script/CLI naming in the repo
assuming this page should describe a different product name than the repo uses
treating Factory Droid like a generic MCP client without documenting its dedicated installer
