Add ToolRouter to OpenClaw by adding it to your MCP config file. No API key needed — your account is created automatically on first use.
Install automatically
Paste the following into OpenClaw and it will set up ToolRouter for you:
Add ToolRouter MCP server to my OpenClaw config at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Add a "toolrouter" entry under mcpServers with command "npx" and args ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"]. No API key needed — account auto-provisions on first use.Install manually
Add this to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (the config file inside the hidden .openclaw folder in your home directory):
json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolrouter": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"]
}
}
}If you already have other MCP servers configured, add the "toolrouter" entry inside the existing "mcpServers" object — don't replace the whole file.
Restart OpenClaw. All ToolRouter tools will be available alongside your other MCP servers.
Requires Node.js 18+.
