# Factory Supervisor MCP Server
[](https://nitrostack.ai)
[](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
[](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
[](https://react.dev/)
An enterprise-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and interactive supervisory dashboard built with NitroStack, Node.js, Express, and React for real-time factory operations management, telemetry analysis, predictive maintenance, material forecasting, order estimation, and AI supervisor copilot capabilities.
---
## Overview
The Factory Supervisor MCP Server connects AI assistants (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity, or custom MCP clients) directly to industrial shop floor telemetry, equipment diagnostics, inventory levels, maintenance schedules, and production orders.
Featuring 10 modular domains and 18 specialized MCP tools alongside an Express REST API and a React + Tailwind Control Center UI, operators and AI assistants can perform diagnostic checks, detect bottlenecks, forecast equipment failures, calculate risk exposure, and interact via natural language to maintain optimal factory productivity.
---
## Key Features
- **Dual Architecture** -- Serves as a standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over Stdio transport as well as a full Express REST API and Web Control Center UI.
- **Real-Time Analytics and Scoring** -- Automated numeric health scoring (0-100), machine severity assessment, inventory stockout warnings, and risk exposure calculations.
- **Predictive Machine Intelligence** -- Risk models for failure prediction, material depletion forecasting, bottleneck detection, and order completion estimation.
- **AI Supervisor Copilot** -- Natural language prompt routing, daily supervisor shift briefings, and executive financial summaries.
- **Web Control Center UI** -- Built with Vite, React 18, TailwindCSS, Lucide icons, and Framer Motion for telemetry visualization and AI interaction.

## Quick Start
**Prerequisites** -- Node.js v18+ and npm v9+.
Clone the repository and install dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Heytish-V/factory-supervisor-mcp.git
cd factory-supervisor-mcp
npm install
```
Copy `.env.example` to `.env`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Optionally configure your OpenAI API key in `.env` for LLM Copilot capabilities:
```env
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
REST_PORT=3001
```
**One-Click Launcher (Windows)** -- Run `run.bat` to build the project, launch the backend on port 3001, start the frontend on port 5173, and open the browser automatically.
```cmd
run.bat
```
**Development Mode** -- Start the backend and frontend separately:
```bash
npm run dev # Terminal 1: Backend MCP server
npm run ui:dev # Terminal 2: Frontend dashboard
```
**Production Build** -- Compile TypeScript, sync mock data, and build UI assets:
```bash
npm run build
npm start
```
---
## REST API Endpoints
When running the Express REST API (port 3001 by default), the following endpoints are available:
- `GET /health` -- Diagnostic health check.
- `POST /chat` -- Natural language interaction with the Factory Supervisor AI Copilot.
- `GET /api/tools/:toolName` or `POST /api/tools/:toolName` -- Direct execution of any of the 18 MCP tools.
---
## MCP Client Integration
Add this MCP server to your MCP client configuration (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Antigravity):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"factory-supervisor": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/projecctttt/factory-supervisor-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
---
## Example Prompts
When interacting through the web UI or an MCP client, try these sample queries:
- "What is the overall health score of the factory right now?"
- "Are any CNC machines at risk of failing in the next 24 hours?"
- "Which inventory items are currently below reorder thresholds?"
- "Will order ORD-2026-001 complete on time or experience delays?"
- "Generate a daily supervisor shift briefing for the current shift."
- "Provide an executive summary of factory performance and financial risk exposure."

Scored across 18 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes: inventory, machines, orders, maintenance, schedule, KPIs. However, the five high-level analytics/summary tools (analyzeFactory, predictFactoryHealth, factoryCopilot, dailySupervisorBrief, executiveSummary) could be confused due to overlapping outputs like health scores and recommendations, though their descriptions partially clarify target audiences.
The naming pattern is largely consistent with verb-first camelCase (getInventory, listMachines, predictMachineFailure, etc.). Exceptions like factoryCopilot, dailySupervisorBrief, executiveSummary, and ping deviate from this pattern, but they remain readable and semantically descriptive.
Eighteen tools is slightly above the typical 3-15 well-scoped range, but each tool maps to a distinct aspect of factory supervision (status reads, predictions, forecasts, summaries). The count feels justified for the broad domain, though it is on the heavier side.
The tool set covers all major factory modules (machines, inventory, orders, maintenance, schedule, KPIs) with both operational reads and predictive analytics. Minor gaps include per-order detail retrieval or explicit shift/employee data, but these are not critical for the supervisor role.
