      "args": ["-y", "@brandkity/mcp"],
      "env": {

### 3. Use It

Once configured, ask your AI agent to create a brand kit:

> "Create a brand kit for Acme Corp with the accent color #E55B00. Add a Colors block with the primary palette (Orange Flame #E55B00, Midnight #1A1A2E, Canvas #FAF9F7) and a Typography block with Inter for headings and DM Sans for body. Upload the logos from /Users/me/acme/logos/."

## White-Label Branding (Pro+ Feature)

Customize your portal with custom favicon, social share image, and SEO metadata:

```typescript
// Upload custom assets
const faviconUrl = await client.uploadFile('favicon.ico', faviconBuffer);
const ogImageUrl = await client.uploadFile('og-image.png', ogImageBuffer);

// Apply white-label branding
await client.updateKit('kit-id', {
  og_title: 'Acme Corp Brand Guidelines',
  og_description: 'Official brand assets and standards',
  custom_favicon_url: faviconUrl,
  og_image_url: ogImageUrl,
});
```

**Fields**:
- `og_title` (string, max 100 chars) — SEO title for social share
- `og_description` (string, max 300 chars) — SEO description
- `custom_favicon_url` (string) — CDN URL to favicon (ICO/PNG/SVG)
- `og_image_url` (string) — CDN URL to social share image (1200×630 px recommended)

**Plan Requirements**:
- Free: White-label fields are read-only; MCP tool calls return 403
- Starter/Pro/Agency: Full MCP access; white-label fields are read-write on Pro/Agency

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `BRANDKITY_API_KEY` | Yes | — | Personal Access Token (`bk_live_...`) |
| `BRANDKITY_API_URL` | No | `https://brandkity.com` | API base URL (for local dev) |

## Typical Workflow

```
1. get_workspace       → verify connection, check plan and storage
2. list_kits           → confirm kit doesn't already exist
3. create_kit          → returns kit_id
4. ensure_block        → idempotent: returns existing block_id or creates a new one (for each block type)
5. add_colors          → populate the Colors block
6. add_typography      → populate the Typography block
7. upload_file         → upload font/logo/cover files to workspace storage
8. upload_asset        → upload logos, images, videos into blocks
9. set_brand_story     → write the brand story in a rich_text block
10. set_block_note     → add usage guidance to any block
11. publish_kit        → make the portal live
```

## Reliability Notes (v1.4.0)

- **No duplicate blocks** — `ensure_block` is idempotent. Re-running a workflow never creates duplicate blocks.
- **Auto-retry on uploads** — `upload_asset` and `upload_file` retry up to 3 times on network errors with exponential backoff.
- **Size-aware timeouts** — Upload timeout scales with file size (60 s base + 20 s per 10 MB, max 10 min). Large files like 64 MB video assets are handled reliably.
- **Batch deduplication** — `upload_assets_batch` silently skips duplicate `file_path` entries so the same file is never uploaded twice in one batch.
- **Agent instructions** — The server now provides operating rules to AI clients at connection time, reducing duplicate operations from AI agents automatically.
- **White-label URL resolution** — CDN URLs in white-label fields are automatically resolved to asset IDs server-side; agents don't need to manage asset IDs directly.
- **Storage tracking** — All file uploads are tracked per workspace for accurate quota enforcement.
