Prove the boundary before real work
A clean connection is not enough. Verify discovery, read-only access, and an approval-required action before relying on the setup.
- 01
Use mcp list to check that the claw-me server is registered and healthy before asking the Agent to use it.
- 02
Ask the Agent to call wiki_get_agent_guide, then make one read-only workspace request.
- 03
Check an action requiring owner approval before real work. If discovery or authorization fails, stop and inspect the connection rather than relaxing permissions.
Common connection issues
My NemoClaw CLI does not recognize mcp add.
Check the official NVIDIA documentation for the managed MCP requirements and update using its supported process.
The server returns an authentication error.
Check that the host environment contains a current, approved Claw Me Agent key. A setup code or owner session token cannot replace it. Renew authorization if the Agent key was revoked.
Should I run the standard OpenClaw plugin install inside the sandbox?
This guide uses remote MCP. Follow NVIDIA’s separate plugin installation documentation if you need a runtime plugin; the ordinary OpenClaw install command is not the managed MCP setup.
