What it does

Factory MCP is an agent skill from warpdotdev/warp. Use the Warp Factory MCP to hand work to a software factory and collaborate with it — bundle local work and send it to the cloud, find factory tasks from a Slack thread / Linear ticket / description, and pull a task down to test or iterate locally and hand it back

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Slack. The repository describes itself as: Warp is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/factory-mcp”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the warp-factory server and its tools are available. If they are

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 325d4d4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Factory MCP loads about 237 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~237

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Factory MCP

The canonical Factory workflow is served by the connected warp-factory MCP server so its instructions stay synchronized with the live tool schemas.

Before invoking a Factory MCP tool:

  1. Confirm the warp-factory server and its tools are available. If they are unavailable, stop and tell the user that Factory MCP must be connected and authenticated.
  2. Read skill://warp/factory-mcp/SKILL.md, then follow the returned skill and its referenced resources. If the skill cannot be read, use the server instructions and live tool descriptions.

Treat live tool descriptions and input schemas as authoritative.
