# MadeForAI Hosted Supply Chain Connector

This open-source MCP connector forwards authorized manufacturing task requests from Codex, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other MCP clients to the MadeForAI hosted order-intake service.

## Trust boundary

The connector contains only stdio transport, the nine public tool names, and a fixed upstream endpoint: `https://api.madeforai.net/mcp`.

It does **not** contain the order database, Chinese production workspace, production credentials, supplier records, payment-confirmation authority, shipment authority, or fulfillment administration. Forks remain usable under MIT, but they do not gain access to MadeForAI-hosted tasks or private production systems.

## Run with npx

Set your MadeForAI client access token, then run the connector directly from npm:

```bash
npx --yes madeforai-supplychain-connector@0.5.2
```

For MCP clients, use `npx` as the command:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "madeforai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "madeforai-supplychain-connector@0.5.2"],
      "env": {
        "MADEFORAI_ACCESS_TOKEN": "replace-with-your-32-character-or-longer-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The command exits with a clear error until `MADEFORAI_ACCESS_TOKEN` is set. Tokens must contain at least 32 characters.

## Manual installation

As a fallback, download `madeforai-supplychain-connector-0.5.2.tgz` from the matching GitHub Release, then install it:

```bash
npm install --global ./madeforai-supplychain-connector-0.5.2.tgz
madeforai-supplychain
```

## Build from source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/amplichina/madeforai-supplychain-skill.git
cd madeforai-supplychain-skill
npm ci
npm run build
npm test
```

## MCP client configuration

Request a client access token from MadeForAI. Keep it out of source code, screenshots, issue reports, and public examples.

For an npx-based installation:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "madeforai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "madeforai-supplychain-connector@0.5.2"],
      "env": {
        "MADEFORAI_ACCESS_TOKEN": "replace-with-your-32-character-or-longer-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For a source checkout, use `node` with the absolute path to `dist/src/index.js`.

Clients with native remote MCP support may connect directly:

```json
{
  "url": "https://api.madeforai.net/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer replace-with-your-client-token"
  }
}
```

## Public MCP tools

- `create_supplychain_task`
- `generate_artwork_brief`
- `generate_quote_request`
- `generate_order_draft`
- `confirm_order_draft`
- `confirm_production_feedback`
- `create_payment_link`
- `quick_start_prototype_pipeline`
- `get_task`

Production feedback, payment confirmation, manufacturing progress, quality checks, shipment, and completion remain unavailable through this public connector.

## Safety boundaries

MadeForAI does not generate images, run LLM inference, process real payments, or automatically place supplier orders in this release. A submitted task enters a manual-review queue; submission does not mean that review has started, and no response time is guaranteed. Prices and lead times remain unconfirmed until manual feedback is recorded.

The connector is MIT licensed. The hosted control plane, production workspace, credentials, databases, and production operations are separate proprietary services.
