# Factory Droid

> Connect Memory Crystal to Factory Droid using the repo's hosted MCP installer path.

## 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:

```text theme={"system"}
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
```

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/crystal | bash -s -- --targets factory-droid
```

For native Windows PowerShell, use:

```powershell theme={"system"}
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](/configuration/local-first).

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:

```bash theme={"system"}
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:

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/install-droid-mcp.sh | bash
```

## Uninstall

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -fsSL https://memorycrystal.ai/uninstall-droid-mcp.sh | bash
```

For purge behavior and safety notes, see the [uninstall guide](/help/uninstall).

## 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

## Source of truth
