# Connect to OpenClaw

Add ToolRouter to OpenClaw by adding it to your MCP config file.

## How do I add ToolRouter to OpenClaw?

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.

No API key needed — your account is created automatically on first use.

**Requires [Node.js 18+](https://nodejs.org).**
