Connecting to OpenClaw
Use this guide when you want OpenClaw to use Fluent as an MCP memory and tool layer.
You still talk to OpenClaw directly. Fluent gives OpenClaw saved context for Meals, Style, and Health.
Current Status
The Fluent plugin is listed on ClawHub:
OpenClaw should be treated as a plain MCP-style Fluent host today:
- use Fluent tools directly
- expect complete text answers
- do not expect ChatGPT-style or Claude-style rich Fluent views
Choose Your Runtime
Use managed early access if your Fluent account has been provisioned.
Run the open-source runtime if you want immediate local access, self-hosting, or a way to inspect the runtime yourself.
Managed Early Access Setup
After installing the ClawHub plugin, generate the managed config:
npm run scaffold:mcp -- --client openclaw --track cloudRegister the generated mcp.servers.fluent block in your OpenClaw profile, then reconnect OpenClaw so it refreshes the tool list.
Open-Source Runtime Setup
Start the runtime:
npm run oss:start -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8788Generate the OpenClaw config:
npm run scaffold:mcp -- --client openclaw --track oss \
--base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788Then register the generated mcp.servers.fluent block in OpenClaw.
Verify The Connection
Ask OpenClaw:
"What are my Fluent capabilities?"
That should confirm:
- the Fluent contract version
- available and ready domains
- onboarding state
- which Fluent actions are available
First Useful Prompt
Once OpenClaw can reach Fluent, ask:
"What can Fluent already help me with right now, and what should we set up first?"
OpenClaw should use Fluent data and answer in ordinary chat.
Package Notes
The published ClawHub package is fluent-openclaw. Install from ClawHub unless you are maintaining the repo copy at openclaw-plugin/fluent/.
