Agent Instruction
Connect to OpenClaw
Add Vee3 under mcp.servers in OpenClaw config.
openclaw.json (streamable HTTP - recommended)
RecommendedUses ${VEE3_API_KEY} - export that variable or add it to ~/.openclaw/.env.
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"vee3": {
"url": "https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http",
"headers": {
"VEE3_API_KEY": "${VEE3_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
}
- Open or create
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json - Paste the config from above.
- New file: paste the whole JSON object.
- Already has servers: add only the
vee3entry inside the existingmcp.serversobject.
- Set your API key in
headers, or addVEE3_API_KEY=vee3_live_...to~/.openclaw/.envand keep${VEE3_API_KEY}in the config. - Save the file. OpenClaw hot-reloads config; start a new agent session if tools do not appear.
- Verify with
openclaw mcp listandopenclaw mcp show vee3. - Test in a coding or messaging tool profile - MCP tools are hidden in
minimalor whenbundle-mcpis denied.
Setup via CLIShowHide
Writes the same server definition to config without connecting to Vee3:
openclaw mcp set
Run in bash or similar. On PowerShell, paste into openclaw.json instead.
openclaw mcp set vee3 '{"url":"https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"VEE3_API_KEY":"${VEE3_API_KEY}"}}'
Then run openclaw mcp list to confirm vee3 is registered.
Alternative: stdio via mcp-remoteShowHide
Use only if direct HTTP does not work. Requires Node.js and npx.
openclaw.json (stdio bridge)
Replace the vee3 HTTP entry with this stdio entry, or use it on a fresh file.
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"vee3": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote@latest",
"https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp",
"--header",
"VEE3_API_KEY: ${VEE3_API_KEY}"
]
}
}
}
}
OpenClaw uses ${VAR} env substitution (uppercase names only). Do not commit literal API keys.
Verify the connection
Run openclaw mcp list and confirm vee3 appears. Run openclaw mcp show vee3 to inspect the server definition. Then ask the agent to call meta-tools.list_groups or search the catalog with meta-tools.search. Use a coding or messaging tool profile—MCP tools are hidden in minimal or when bundle-mcp is denied.
Customize which tools appear
From the dashboard, open Customize MCP to turn capability groups on or off. Changes apply to your MCP server on the next connection.
