MCP Tutorial

MCP is for connecting external capabilities to NextClaw. It is an extension path, not a first-run requirement.

When you need it

• you already have an MCP server
• you want NextClaw to call external system capabilities
• you need to connect an existing toolchain into an AI workflow

Steps

1. Confirm the MCP server works by itself.
2. Add the integration configuration in NextClaw.
3. Save and reload configuration.
4. Verify with one low-risk task.

Usage principles

• Prove the MCP server works first.
• Then connect it to NextClaw.
• Do not base first onboarding on a complex MCP chain.
