# FashionOne MCP server: setup for agents

FashionOne (by Meta Arbor) is a research tool for fashion teams. Its MCP server lets you work
in the user's workspace as the user: bring PDFs and images into spaces, cut out products and
references, sample colours, search pieces, file them into collections and run scouts.

## Server

- Endpoint: https://mcp.metaarbor.com/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP, stateless
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256). Without a token the server answers 401 with
  WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata="https://mcp.metaarbor.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource"
- Authorization server: https://api.metaarbor.com
  (metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server; dynamic client registration; scope "research")
- Alternative: an API key the user makes on https://app.metaarbor.com/profile,
  sent as "Authorization: Bearer <key>"

## Steps

1. Register the server in Claude Code:

   claude mcp add --transport http metaarbor https://mcp.metaarbor.com/mcp -s user

2. Hand sign-in to the user: ask them to run /mcp, choose "metaarbor", then "Authenticate",
   and approve in the browser. You cannot approve on their behalf.

3. Confirm the connection: call whoami (the user and workspace you act as), then list_spaces
   before creating anything.

Everything you do is visible to the user in the app and is done with their permissions.
Ask before deleting, retiring terms or running scouts.
