Connecting OpenClaw Agent to Sphene via Native MCP

To connect OpenClaw to Sphene, configure Sphene as a Stdio MCP server in your OpenClaw configuration targeting sphene mcp with SPHENE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8743. OpenClaw gains sub-millisecond search, AST section patching, and secure partitioned storage under 25MB RAM without shell pipe errors.


OpenClaw Configuration (openclaw.json)

Add the Sphene MCP server to your OpenClaw workspace tool configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sphene": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/sphene",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SPHENE_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:8743"
      }
    }
  }
}
