MCP server for OpenClaw AI assistant integration. Enables Claude to delegate tasks to OpenClaw agents with sync/async tools, OAuth 2.1 auth, and SSE transport for Claude.ai.
Get OpenClaw gateway status and health information
openclaw_chat_async
Send a message to OpenClaw asynchronously. Returns a task_id immediately that can be polled for results. Use this for potentially long-running conversations.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
NVIDIA CUDA Docs is categorized under Coding Agents and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Openclaw MCP belongs to Coding Agents using local stdio subprocess. Select NVIDIA CUDA Docs when you need capabilities focused on coding agents and Openclaw MCP when you require tools for coding agents.
Check the status of an async task. Returns status, and result if completed.
openclaw_task_list
List all tasks. Optionally filter by status, session, or instance.
openclaw_task_cancel
Cancel a pending task. Only works for tasks that haven't started yet.
openclaw_instances
List all configured OpenClaw instances. Shows instance names, URLs, and which is the default. Use instance names in other tools to target a specific OpenClaw gateway.
