🎯 What is MCP360?

MCP360 is a unified MCP gateway that gives AI agents access to 100+ external tools, including prebuilt MCPs and custom MCP servers. You can connect your agents once and immediately run searches, research tasks, SEO workflows, and other operational actions. Instead of spending days integrating multiple APIs, connect to 100+ tools easily with a simple setup, or add your own Custom MCPs when you need specific logic or data.

🦀 OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted agent runtime that treats AI agents as long-lived managed processes with state, health, tooling, and execution boundaries. MCP360 connects to OpenClaw as a unified tool gateway.

Step 1: Install OpenClaw globally

npm i -g openclaw

openclaw --version

Step 2: Run initial configuration

openclaw configure

Step 3: Start the gateway and verify health

openclaw gateway

openclaw gateway status

openclaw doctor

All health checks must pass before proceeding.

Step 4: Install MCP tooling for inspection

npm i -g mcporter

mcporter --version

Step 5: Create a stable MCP configuration directory

mkdir -p ~/mcp

cd ~/mcp

Step 6: Register MCP360 as an MCP server

mcporter config add mcp360 \
--command 'npx mcp-remote "https://connect.mcp360.ai/v1/mcp360/mcp?token=YOUR_API_KEY"'

Step 7: Confirm registration and verify tool access

mcporter config list

mcporter list

If mcporter list returns structured tool definitions, your MCP360 connection is working correctly. ✅

Tip: Use openclaw tui to run OpenClaw in the terminal instead of the dashboard.

📖 For a full walkthrough, see the OpenClaw + MCP360 setup guide.

🚄 Pro Tip: Global Installation

For faster startup times, install globally:

npm install -g @mcp360/universal-gateway

Then update your config to use the global command:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp360": {
      "command": "mcp360-gateway",
      "env": {
        "MCP360_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
