Setup OpenClaw with Santiment MCP Connector

OpenClaw does not currently natively support remote OAuth-based MCP servers. To connect, use mcp-remote as a local bridge.

  1. Add the following to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under mcp.servers:

    {
    "mcp": {
    "servers": {
    "santiment": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.santiment.net/mcp"]
    }
    }
    }
    }
  2. Restart the gateway:

    openclaw gateway restart
  3. Send your agent any Santiment-related query, for example: “What are the top crypto narratives trending right now?”. You should be prompted to complete Santiment OAuth in your browser. Log in (or create a free account at app.santiment.net) and approve the connection.

    Note: on a headless server or inside Docker, the browser won’t open automatically. Check openclaw logs for the OAuth URL and open it on your local machine.

  4. Once authorized, start asking questions about any token, metric, or market condition.
