OpenClaw

Agent skills + MCP support

OpenClaw supports agent skills via its own skills/ directory and MCP servers. Cognetivy installs its skill as an Agent Skills bundle, or connects via MCP.

Setup

Run the installer from your project directory:

npx cognetivy

Choose OpenClaw in the installer. Cognetivy will:

Create a .cognetivy/ workspace in your project
Install the Agent Skills bundle into skills/cognetivy/
Open Studio in your browser

Or install manually if Cognetivy is already installed globally:

cognetivy install openclaw

MCP connection (alternative)

You can also connect via MCP so Cognetivy tools appear in OpenClaw’s context. Add the server to your OpenClaw config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cognetivy": {
      "command": "cognetivy",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Add "--workspace", "/path/to/.cognetivy" to args if the workspace is not in your current project.

How skills work in OpenClaw

OpenClaw reads agent skills from your project’s skills/ directory and any extra directories configured in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Once the Cognetivy skill is in place, OpenClaw automatically has access to all workflow, run, and collection operations.
