The standard interface for giving AI agents access to external tools and data
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools, APIs, and data sources in a consistent way. OpenClaw supports MCP, allowing you to add new capabilities to your agent by plugging in MCP servers — without writing custom code for each integration.
MCP servers expose tools and resources via a standardized protocol. OpenClaw connects to MCP servers and makes their tools available in the agent's tool list. You can run MCP servers for databases, file systems, web browsers, APIs, and any custom service. The agent can then call these tools during the agent loop just like built-in tools.
MCP enables a growing ecosystem of pre-built integrations. Instead of building a custom tool for every API, you can find or build an MCP server and connect it to OpenClaw. Clawfleet makes popular MCP servers available out of the box, dramatically expanding what your agent can do without custom development.
