OpenClaw + Cuiar
Text a question. Get it from your account.
- ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
- OAuth or a key header
- Replies in your chat app
OpenClaw lives in the chat apps you already use. You ask it where your parcel is, or if your padel court is free, and the answer is behind a login.
OpenClaw opens your Personal workspace in Cuiar, signs in with the vault and reads the page. Steps that pay go to the Cuiar agent with run_task, and it asks you first.
Setup
Add Cuiar to the gateway.
Do this on the machine that runs the OpenClaw gateway. It can be another machine; it reaches Cuiar over the internet.
- 1
Add the server
Set
transportyourself. Without it, OpenClaw uses SSE.~/.openclaw/openclaw.json { mcp: { servers: { cuiar: { url: "https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp", transport: "streamable-http", auth: "oauth", }, }, }, } - 2
Sign in
openclaw mcp login cuiar - 3
Check and load it
openclaw mcp doctor --probe openclaw mcp reload - 4
Text it
Which Cuiar workspaces do I have?
Other ways to connect
An API key
Put
CUIAR_API_KEY=cuiar_...in~/.openclaw/.env, with a key that has themcpscope. OpenClaw ignores a fixed Authorization header whileauthis oauth, so use one or the other.~/.openclaw/openclaw.json { mcp: { servers: { cuiar: { url: "https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp", transport: "streamable-http", headers: { Authorization: "Bearer ${CUIAR_API_KEY}" }, }, }, }, }Local stdio
On the machine with the Cuiar app, after
cuiar login.openclaw mcp add cuiar --command cuiar --arg mcp
Route
The gateway keeps the session.
The gateway holds the MCP session and the tokens. Each step is a tool call that your model plan pays for, so a question in chat uses no Cuiar credits.
- Remote MCPmcp.cuiar.com/mcp
- Best fit
- OAuth with
openclaw mcp login, or a key header. - Local MCPcuiar mcp
- Works
- When the gateway runs on the computer with the Cuiar app.
- CLIcuiar exec
- Works
- Through the
exectool, with exec approvals. A Docker sandbox does not have thecuiarbinary. - Routineson a schedule
- Works
- OpenClaw Automations reply in a chat. A Cuiar routine emails the result and needs no gateway.
Example tasks
Questions you text
01
Track a parcel
“Where is my order from the outdoor shop?”
Personal workspace, vault sign-in, the order page and the carrier link.
02
Book a court
“Book a padel court on Saturday from 10:00 to 11:30 at my club.”
run_task. Cuiar asks before it confirms and pays.03
Refill a prescription
“Refill my allergy prescription on the pharmacy portal, for pickup at the usual branch.”
Cuiar asks before it submits.
04
Hear about delays
openclaw automations create "15 7 * * 1-5" "With Cuiar, check the rail operator's live page for the 07:42 train. Tell me only if it is late or cancelled." --name train --session isolatedThen send it to Telegram with
openclaw automations edit <id> --announce --channel telegram.05
Top up a transit card
“Top up my transit card with 20 EUR if the balance is under 10 EUR.”
Cuiar asks before it pays with the saved card.
Good to know
- Two approvals
- OpenClaw's exec approvals can ask in chat with
/approve <id>. The Cuiar agent asks before payments and submits. - Your computer
- The Cuiar app must be open and signed in. The tabs open there, whatever machine runs the gateway.
