# Droid

> Add SHARC to Factory's Droid CLI

[Droid](https://factory.ai) is Factory's terminal coding agent. It exposes an `mcp` subcommand for managing MCP servers.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
droid mcp add sharc --env SHARC_API_KEY=sk_mcp_... npx -y @sharc-code/mcp@latest
```

<Note>
  Droid takes the launch command directly as positional arguments — there's no `--` separator like Claude Code or Codex.
</Note>

Verify:

```bash theme={null}
droid mcp list
```

## How it works

The command above creates a **stdio** MCP server entry (Droid's default). The `--env` flag is repeatable for multiple environment variables.

Droid spawns `npx -y @sharc-code/mcp@latest` whenever it starts a session, with `SHARC_API_KEY` set in the child process's environment.

## Updating the API key

```bash theme={null}
droid mcp remove sharc
droid mcp add sharc --env SHARC_API_KEY=sk_mcp_NEW... npx -y @sharc-code/mcp@latest
```

## Verify

Ask Droid:

```
> List the MCP tools you have available
```

You should see seven SHARC tools (`index_codebase`, `search_code`, `clear_index`, `get_indexing_status`, `start_watch`, `stop_watch`, `get_watch_status`).

## Troubleshooting

### Server not connecting

* Confirm `npx` is on your PATH: `npx --version`
* Re-run `droid mcp list` to see the configured command
* Check that `SHARC_API_KEY` was set correctly when adding the server
