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 on the domestic site can start for free.

Client

This client ships CloudBase built in. Setup follows its own marketplace or connectors, and the site follows your login state — nothing to pick here.

Configure your AI tool to connect with CloudBase capabilities. Supports local and remote 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.
