Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Send a coupling matrix, get zone classifications and optimal factorization strategy.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Add2https://…3
https://factorguide.io/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http factorguide https://factorguide.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "factorguide": {
      "url": "https://factorguide.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "factorguide": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://factorguide.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32433 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 6% of the other 32433 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Factorguide safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Symantec Cloud DLP AIops

FactorGuide

Decision intelligence for AI agents. Send a coupling matrix — get zone classifications, optimal factorization strategy, and calibrated risk predictions.

Every system with interacting variables has a coupling structure. When an agent simplifies that system by treating variables as independent, it pays an information cost. FactorGuide quantifies that cost exactly.

Quick Start

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

FactorGuide is listed on the Official MCP Registry. Any MCP-compatible agent discovers tools automatically:

mcp_endpoint: https://factorguide.io/mcp
HTTP REST
POST https://factorguide.io/navigate

POST https://factorguide.io/diagnose POST https://factorguide.io/explain POST https://factorguide.io/report_outcome

Agent Discovery
GET https://factorguide.io/llms.txt

GET https://factorguide.io/openapi.json

Example

Send a 3×3 correlation matrix:

{

"coupling": { "covariance_matrix": [ [1.00, 0.72, 0.05], [0.72, 1.00, 0.48], [0.05, 0.48, 1.00] ] }, "sample_size": 500, "model_class": "constitutive" }

Get back zone classifications:

PairICZoneRecommendation
z0–z10.6823PRESERVE
z0–z20.0311FACTORIZE
z1–z20.4532ASSESS
  • Zone 1: Safe to factorize. Coupling below threshold.
  • Zone 2: Depends on functional role. Same IC, opposite recommendations for constitutive vs. inductive coupling.
  • Zone 3: Must preserve. Coupling is load-bearing regardless of model class.

TrialFree15 per walletn ≤ 25
Starter$0.05/query50–200 bundlesn ≤ 100
Professional$0.03/query500–2000 bundlesn ≤ 1000

Payment: USDC on Base via x402 or MPP. report_outcome is always free.

Data Privacy

FactorGuide accepts only second-order summary statistics — covariance, precision, correlation matrices, or edge lists. No raw observations. Matrices are zeroed after IC computation.

Theoretical Foundation

Built on Circulatory Fidelity, a mathematical framework where IC (Inference Coupling) measures the partial correlation between variables. The cost function V(IC) gives the exact mutual information destroyed by severing a coupling. Risk curves are calibrated on 49,000+ validated datapoints.

Every prediction is falsifiable. When agents report outcomes, the flywheel refines future predictions.
