OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant gateway. It speaks the Streamable HTTP MCP transport natively, so it connects to Orbismo directly — no bridge process required.

OpenClaw authenticates MCP servers with static headers (it has no sign-in flow), so you connect it with the API-key method: a single world’s URL plus a key. The connector (which requires sign-in) doesn’t apply here.

You’ll need:

  • OpenClaw installed — see the OpenClaw docs (typically npm install -g openclaw@latest).
  • Your world’s ID — the UUID in the portal URL when you’re inside a world (https://app.orbismo.com/worlds/{world_id}/...).
  • An API key for the world — see Generate an API key. Use a read-only key for your first connection so OpenClaw can’t change anything while you test.
  1. Register the server with openclaw mcp set and a single JSON config:

    Terminal window
    openclaw mcp set orbismo '{"url":"https://app.orbismo.com/api/v1/worlds/<world_id>/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer oc_live_<your_key>"}}'

    Replace <world_id> with your world’s UUID and oc_live_<your_key> with your full key.

  2. Confirm the entry was saved:

    Terminal window
    openclaw mcp list
    openclaw mcp show orbismo --json
  3. Use OpenClaw normally. The next time it starts a session, the orbismo server is available and Orbismo’s tools appear in the agent’s tool list.

Register one entry per world, with distinct names and each world’s own key (keys are scoped to a single world):

Terminal window
openclaw mcp set orbismo-realm-a '{"url":"https://app.orbismo.com/api/v1/worlds/<realm_a_id>/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer oc_live_<key_for_realm_a>"}}'
openclaw mcp set orbismo-realm-b '{"url":"https://app.orbismo.com/api/v1/worlds/<realm_b_id>/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer oc_live_<key_for_realm_b>"}}'

openclaw mcp set <name> replaces an existing entry — rerun it with a new key to rotate. To remove a connection:

Terminal window
openclaw mcp unset orbismo
