openclaw-control-mcp

The OpenClaw control plane MCP server. Operate the gateway's full management surface from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client — list and trigger crons, inspect sessions, configure agents and channels, manage skills and secrets, drive the doctor memory plane, pair devices, approve exec/plugin calls. 134 typed tools covering every JSON-RPC method the gateway publishes.

Different from the upstream openclaw-mcp, which only wraps /v1/chat/completions. This one talks the JSON-RPC protocol used by the OpenClaw Control panel — so you can operate the gateway itself (its crons, sessions, agents, channels, skills, secrets, …), not just chat through it.

Without vs with

Without openclaw-control-mcp — you bounce between the Control panel UI, your terminal, and Claude Code. "List my crons" means opening the SPA. "Tail this agent session" means staying in the panel and refreshing. "Why did this skill fail?" means hunting through logs.tail manually. The assistant can chat through the gateway but it cannot operate it.

With openclaw-control-mcp — the same assistant queries openclaw_cron_list, follows up with openclaw_sessions_tail to watch a turn in flight, asks openclaw_skills_status for diagnostic data, rotates a secret via openclaw_secrets_set, and approves a stuck openclaw_exec_approval — without you ever leaving the chat. The Control panel becomes an audit interface, not a daily-driver.

Quickstart

# Claude Code — registers a stdio server under the default config
claude mcp add openclaw-control -- npx -y openclaw-control-mcp

One-click install from supported clients:

On first start the wrapper generates an Ed25519 device identity and surfaces a pairing request id. Approve it once in the OpenClaw Control panel, the gateway issues a device token, and every subsequent call uses it transparently. Full pairing flow below.

Status

0.6.2 — published on npm, indexed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.smurfy92/openclaw-control-mcp. Multi-instance gateway configs, OS keychain-backed secret storage, 134 typed tools across the 128 published JSON-RPC methods, plus two escape hatches: openclaw_introspect enumerates every method/event the gateway publishes in its hello-ok, and openclaw_call lets you reach any method that doesn't have a typed wrapper yet — so new gateway endpoints are reachable without waiting on a release.

The Ed25519 signed handshake is verified live against gateway 2026.4.12+. On first start, the wrapper generates a long-lived device identity, persists it under ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/openclaw-control-mcp/store.json (mode 0600) — or in the OS keychain when available — signs the connect frame, and surfaces the resulting pairing request id so you can approve it once via the Control panel.
