Favro MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
pip install favro-mcp
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add -e "FAVRO_EMAIL=${FAVRO_EMAIL}" -e "FAVRO_API_TOKEN=${FAVRO_API_TOKEN}" favro-mcp -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_FAVRO_MCP>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_FAVRO_MCP>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

Installation

pip install favro-mcp

Getting Your Favro API Token

  1. Log in to Favro
  2. Click your username (top-left corner)
  3. Select My Profile
  4. Go to API Tokens
  5. Click Create new token
  6. Give it a name (e.g., "Favro MCP") and click Create
  7. Copy the token — you won't be able to see it again!
Setup for Claude Code 
claude mcp add --transport stdio favro \
  -e FAVRO_EMAIL=your-email@example.com \
  -e FAVRO_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -- favro-mcp

See Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

Setup for Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "favro": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/favro-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FAVRO_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
        "FAVRO_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Finding the full path: Claude Desktop doesn't inherit your shell's PATH, so you need the absolute path to favro-mcp:

# macOS/Linux (with pip)
which favro-mcp

# Windows (PowerShell)
(Get-Command favro-mcp).Source

Then restart Claude Desktop.

See Claude Desktop MCP documentation for more details.

Setup for Cursor

Add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration file:

  • Global (all projects): ~/.cursor/mcp.json
  • Project-specific: .cursor/mcp.json in your project root
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "favro": {
      "command": "favro-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FAVRO_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
        "FAVRO_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also open the MCP settings via Command Palette: Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) → search "MCP" → select "View: Open MCP Settings".

After configuration, use Agent mode in Cursor's AI chat to access Favro tools.

See Cursor MCP documentation for more details.

Setup for VS Code

Add the following to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "favro": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "favro-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FAVRO_EMAIL": "your-email@example.com",
        "FAVRO_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use Agent mode in GitHub Copilot Chat to access Favro tools.
