Factory
The Droid CLI shipped a flurry of MCP and productivity improvements across late May and early June 2026.
MCP management got a full overhaul. Interactive add/remove/list of MCP servers landed in v0.138.0, along with credential variable expansion at runtime, a configurable call timeout, a quick mcp off shortcut, per-server risk levels, and support for choosing which MCP servers are available to custom droids.1 Schema compatibility handling improved across two releases, and clearing fields when editing an MCP server was fixed.
Custom commands and skills surfaced in the slash menu. Starting with v0.139.0, custom commands and skills now appear directly in the slash menu alongside built-in options.
Airgapped bring-your-own-key mode arrived. The new FACTORY_AIRGAP_ENABLED option (v0.137.0) lets users bypass Factory auth entirely when supplying their own model keys, enabling fully offline or locked-down enterprise setups.2
New built-in skills expanded what droids can do out of the box. A /deep-review skill (v0.136.0) adds multi-pass code review, /security-review shipped bundled by default (v0.126.0) with deep and shallow modes added in v0.124.0, and a /deploy-to-render skill (v0.132.0) handles Render deployments.34
EU data residency launched. Sessions and LLM inference for EU customers now run on a dedicated EU-only data plane (v0.126.0), reducing latency and keeping data within region.5
Session and context tooling improved steadily. A /context command and modal for inspecting context usage (v0.133.1), auto-compression toggle and configurable compression model (v0.136.0), model favorites (v0.130.0), and adaptive terminal theming (v0.135.0) all shipped.6 File hook events now stream so progress is visible as hooks run (v0.129.0).7
