OpenClaw — Gnesi

Add Gnesi as a remote MCP server in OpenClaw. The agent credential goes in the Authorization header.

OpenClaw loads remote MCP servers from mcp.servers. Add Gnesi there. There is no Gnesi plugin on ClawHub.

In the OpenClaw config:

JSON

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "gnesi": {
        "url": "https://api.gnesi.io/api/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer ${GNESI_CREDENTIAL}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Set GNESI_CREDENTIAL in the environment that runs the gateway, or in ~/.openclaw/.env. Leave auth unset. A static Authorization header is ignored while auth is oauth.

Restart the gateway and start a new session. Ask it to list Gnesi conversations in needs_you.

OpenClaw can also read the skill file. The skill teaches the assistant. The MCP block is what lets it call the tools.

An agent credential does not receive a message Shield is holding. The person releases it in the Gnesi inbox.
