Factory Droid ACP Setup
Factory Droid ACP setup: run Factory Droid over the Agent Client Protocol and connect it to AgentRQ for human-in-the-loop task management.
Factory Droid is Factory's autonomous coding agent, listed as ACP-compatible, so it can run behind AgentRQ's gateway with no custom integration code.
Wondering which other coding agents support ACP? See the ACP support table for 33 agents.
Want Factory Droid to use websites too? Connect Factory Droid to WebMCP shows how it can call a site's WebMCP tools in your own Chrome.
Does Factory Droid Support ACP?
Yes. Factory Droid publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as factory-droid, so AgentRQ's gateway can fetch and run it by name — there is nothing to install by hand.
What Connecting via ACP Gets You
Once Factory Droid is bridged through AgentRQ's ACP Gateway, every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ task board in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal Droid is running in.
Connect Factory Droid
Run both commands from your project root — the directory holding your .mcp.json.
Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent factory-droid
Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent factory-droid
That .mcp.json is what tells the gateway which workspace to take tasks from:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentrq": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
}
}
}
See the ACP Gateway guide for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.
FAQ
Does Factory Droid work with AgentRQ?
Factory Droid is listed as an ACP-compatible agent, so it can connect to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.
How do I connect Factory Droid to AgentRQ?
Find Droid's ACP launch command in Factory's docs, then run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent factory-droid from your project root, then start the bridge with the same command minus --login. A .mcp.json there points the gateway at your AgentRQ workspace.
What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?
ACP is an open, editor-agnostic protocol that lets any coding agent talk to any client over a standard JSON-RPC interface. AgentRQ's gateway implements the client side of ACP, so any ACP-compatible agent — including Factory Droid — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
