Connecting OpenClaw with MCP360

This guide shows how to connect the OpenClaw agent runtime with MCP360 so your AI agents can run tools, trigger workflows, and interact with real systems instead of only responding in chat.

OpenClaw runs the agent logic, while MCP360 acts as the tool gateway that connects APIs and services in one place.

Step 1: Install OpenClaw

• Install OpenClaw on your system using npm:

npm install -g openclaw

• After installation, confirm it works:

openclaw --version

If a version appears, OpenClaw is ready.

Step 2: Set Up the Runtime

• Run the setup command to initialize OpenClaw:

openclaw configure

Follow the prompts to complete basic configuration.
This prepares the runtime environment for running agents.

Step 3: Start OpenClaw Services

• Launch the OpenClaw gateway:

openclaw gateway

• Then check that everything is working:

openclaw doctor

Fix any warnings before continuing.

Step 4: Get Your MCP360 Connection URL

• Log in to your MCP360 dashboard and copy your MCP endpoint URL.

• This URL connects OpenClaw to MCP360 tools, so keep it private and secure.

Step 5: Register MCP360 as a Tool Provider

• Create a local folder for MCP configuration:

mkdir mcp-tools
cd mcp-tools

• Now link MCP360 using your endpoint:

mcporter config add mcp360 --command "npx mcp-remote YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL"

This tells OpenClaw where to fetch tools from.

Step 6: Confirm Tools Are Available

• Run:

mcporter list

If MCP360 tools appear in the list, the connection is complete.

Your agents can now execute real actions through MCP360.

What This Setup Enables

Once connected, OpenClaw agents can:

• Call APIs through MCP360

• Trigger automation workflows

• Fetch live data

• Run multi-step actions

• Operate reliably in production

Connecting OpenClaw with MCP360 gives your AI agents real execution power. OpenClaw runs the agent logic, while MCP360 handles tools and integrations in a centralized way. Together, they let you build agents that go beyond chat and perform real tasks securely and reliably.
