Connect OpenClaw

Add the looot MCP server to OpenClaw with one command, sign in with the browser, and check it works.

OpenClaw reaches looot’s catalog, balance and runs over MCP. You add the server with one command and sign in from the terminal.

Before you start you need a looot account. The runs you make spend the organization’s balance, so top up before your first paid run. See Before your first run.

Sign in with the browser

The server URL is https://api.looot.ai/mcp. Nothing to copy: you sign in on looot.ai, pick the organization to bill and click Connect.

Add and sign in

openclaw mcp add looot --url https://api.looot.ai/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth
openclaw mcp login looot

Check the connection

openclaw mcp doctor looot --probe

What that writes to openclaw.json

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "looot": {
        "url": "https://api.looot.ai/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "auth": "oauth"
      }
    }
  }
}

Headless: a token in the header

Only for CI and machines with no browser. Create an agent token in Settings and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Never commit it.

Headless: openclaw.json with a header

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "looot": {
        "url": "https://api.looot.ai/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <agent token from looot.ai Settings>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• openclaw mcp login runs the browser sign-in and saves the credentials locally. Over SSH or on a remote machine it prints a command with –code to finish the sign-in.
• With Gateway hot reload on, changes apply on the next turn. openclaw mcp reload refreshes CLI-owned runtimes.
• OpenClaw’s docs say to keep credentials out of config literals, so prefer the sign-in to the header.
• openclaw mcp serve runs OpenClaw as an MCP server. mcp add is the client side.
• Labels and the doctor output may differ slightly in your version.

Check it works

Ask OpenClaw to call balance or catalog_overview. Both are free. A working connection answers with your available balance, or the catalog’s categories and job counts.

Let your AI guide you

Paste this into Claude Code or any AI assistant and it walks you through the setup.

Help me connect the looot MCP server https://api.looot.ai/mcp to OpenClaw. Go one step at a time and wait for me to confirm. After each step, ask me for a screenshot, check it, and tell me exactly what to do next. Ask me to hide any token first. Check my config with me as we go. Steps: 1. Run openclaw mcp add looot --url https://api.looot.ai/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth. 2. Run openclaw mcp login looot and sign in on the looot page. 3. Run openclaw mcp doctor looot --probe and check the connection. Use browser sign-in. If it fails, tell me to make a token at looot.ai/connect under Advanced and keep it in the config file only, never in this chat. At the end, ask looot for my balance, run ipinfo-lite on 8.8.8.8, and tell me both results.

What you see when you connect

The browser opens looot.ai and shows the consent page: which organization to bill, which scopes to grant and how long to stay connected. See The consent page.
