Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for extending CFactory with external tools and services — databases, APIs, and specialized capabilities beyond built-ins.

MCP uses a client–server model over JSON-RPC: CFactory connects to MCP servers (local STDIO or remote SSE/HTTP), each exposing tools and resources the agent can call with your approval.

Guides

• Using MCP in CFactory — configure, enable, and manage servers in the IDE
• Using MCP in CLI — same servers from the terminal
• Server transports — STDIO vs SSE/HTTP
