What is openclaw-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for an OpenClaw MCP server, which connects Claude to the OpenClaw AI assistant through the Model Context Protocol. MCP is a standard way for an AI application to call tools provided by another server.

Use them when deploying, configuring, or modifying the MCP bridge. They cover production authentication, Docker setup, environment secrets, and validation of tool inputs.

They emphasize security requirements for this server, including Docker-based deployment, OAuth authentication, secret handling, and input validation. These rules reduce the risk of exposing the server or running unsafe commands.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01001	$0.01001
Opus 5	$0.00500	$0.00500
Sonnet 5	$0.00200	$0.00200
Haiku 4.5	$0.00100	$0.00100

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OpenClaw MCP Server

Project Overview

OpenClaw MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides a bridge between Claude (Desktop & Claude.ai) and the OpenClaw AI assistant. It implements the MCP specification to expose OpenClaw capabilities as tools that Claude can invoke.

Security Policy (CRITICAL)

This is a security-critical MCP server. Follow these rules:

Docker-First Deployment (MANDATORY)

Users MUST run this server via Docker in production
Never run directly on bare metal in production environments
Docker provides: process isolation, network segmentation, resource limits, reproducible builds
Use the provided docker-compose.yml for the complete stack

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 MUST be enabled in production (AUTH_ENABLED=true)
Set MCP_CLIENT_ID and MCP_CLIENT_SECRET env vars
Generate secrets with: openssl rand -hex 32
Never commit secrets to the repository
Uses MCP SDK's built-in OAuth server (mcpAuthRouter + requireBearerAuth)

Input Validation

All MCP tool inputs MUST be validated before processing
Validate string lengths, types, and formats
Never pass unsanitized input to system calls or APIs

Error Handling

Never expose stack traces, internal paths, or credentials in error responses
Log errors server-side, return generic messages to clients

Architecture

Claude Desktop/Claude.ai
    ↕ (MCP Protocol - stdio or Streamable HTTP)
OpenClaw MCP Server (this project)
    ↕ (OpenAI-compatible REST API: POST /v1/chat/completions)
OpenClaw Gateway (http://localhost:18789)

Gateway API

The OpenClaw gateway exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at POST /v1/chat/completions. Authentication uses a Bearer token (OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN).

Transports

stdio - For local Claude Desktop integration (default)
HTTP - For remote Claude.ai integration (Streamable HTTP primary, legacy SSE kept for backward compat; requires OAuth + HTTPS)

Tools

Tool	Type	Description
openclaw_chat	sync	Send message to OpenClaw
openclaw_status	sync	Health check
openclaw_chat_async	async	Queue message, get task_id
openclaw_task_status	async	Check task progress
openclaw_task_list	async	List all tasks
openclaw_task_cancel	async	Cancel pending task

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
