MCP Tool Router

Configure OpenClaw as an MCP server and route tools to any MCP-compatible platform.

Why This Exists

OpenClaw v3.28 shipped native MCP server capability. JulianGoldieSEO made 3 videos in one week covering this transition. Business owners using Make, n8n, ChatGPT, and Claude Code now need OpenClaw integration tooling — but no skill exists to configure routing, authentication, and tool exposure. This skill fills that gap.

Commands


# Show MCP server status and exposed tools
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router status

# Start MCP server (exposes OpenClaw tools)
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router serve --port 3100

# List available tools for MCP exposure
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router tools list

# Expose specific skills as MCP tools
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router tools expose --skills memory-compressor,production-monitor

# Hide tools from MCP exposure
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router tools hide --skills "all"
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router tools hide --skills agent-learning-loop

# Connect to an external MCP server
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router connect --url https://mcp.example.com --token abc123

# List connected external MCP servers
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router servers list

# Test MCP connection
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router test --server https://mcp.example.com

# Generate MCP config for Claude Code integration
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router config claude-code

# Generate MCP config for n8n integration
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router config n8n

# Set auth token for inbound MCP calls
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router auth set --token mySecretToken123

# View routing rules
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router routes list

# Add routing rule (redirect tool calls to specific skill)
openclaw skill run mcp-tool-router routes add --tool web_search --skill web-researcher

Integration Templates

Claude Code


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openclaw": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3100/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

n8n (v2.13.4+)

Use the MCP Client node with:

Server URL: http://localhost:3100/mcp
Auth: Bearer token (set via auth set command)

Make (Integromat)

Use the HTTP module with MCP protocol headers.

Security

All inbound MCP calls require auth token
Tool exposure is allowlist-based (opt-in, not opt-out)
Rate limiting: 60 requests/minute per client by default
Audit log: all MCP calls logged to memory/mcp-tool-router-audit.md

Files

scripts/mcp-tool-router.py — main routing script
memory/mcp-tool-router-config.json — server config and routing rules (auto-created)
memory/mcp-tool-router-audit.md — MCP call audit log (auto-created)
