OpenClaw Setup Guide

In OpenClaw, you don't need to manually maintain a project-level MCP config file. If you want to add CloudBase rules and workflows, you can have the AI read the official Setup Skill to self-bootstrap the configuration.

Simply type in the chat:

Read https://docs.cloudbase.net/skill.md and tell me what you can do

If you don't need additional rules/workflows, you can also start coding by describing your requirements directly.

Prerequisites​

Before you start, make sure you have:

Node.js and a CloudBase environment ready

Node.js: Install Node.js v18.15.0 or later:

node --version

If you don't have it installed, download it from the Node.js website.

CloudBase environment: See Create a CloudBase environment. New users can start for free.

Client

Configure your AI tool to connect with CloudBase capabilities. Supports local and hosted connection. See connection modes.

Step 1: Install / Configure CloudBase

Guided setup: In OpenClaw, you can let the AI read https://docs.cloudbase.net/skill.md and follow the guided setup. If you do not need extra CloudBase rules yet, you can also start the conversation directly.

FAQ​

Q: Do I need to create a separate .mcp.json for OpenClaw? A: No. OpenClaw uses the CloudBase Skills workflow by default and doesn't require maintaining a project-level MCP config.

Q: Do I need to install CloudBase Skills first? A: Not manually. You can have the AI read the Setup Skill to self-bootstrap the configuration; or skip it and start coding if you don't need extra rules.
