Connect OpenClaw to Sensefold

Part of Sensefold for agents — the overview, permission tiers, and tool table.

OpenClaw can register remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers, complete OAuth in a browser, and expose the discovered tools to its normal coding and messaging profiles. No Agent key is needed.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”

Check that your OpenClaw installation includes the current MCP workflow:

Terminal window
openclaw --version
openclaw mcp --help
node --version

If openclaw mcp --help does not list login, doctor, and probe, update OpenClaw:

Terminal window
openclaw update

Current OpenClaw releases require a supported Node runtime. Node 24.15 or later in the Node 24 line is a stable choice; follow the OpenClaw Node guide for the complete supported-version matrix.

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

Save the server definition without probing before OAuth:

Terminal window
openclaw mcp add sensefold \
  --url https://api.sensefold.app/mcp \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --auth oauth \
  --connect-timeout 30 \
  --timeout 60 \
  --no-probe

Start authorization:

Terminal window
openclaw mcp login sensefold

Open the printed URL, sign in to Sensefold, keep the default read-only tier unless OpenClaw needs write access, and approve the connection. The browser may finish on a 127.0.0.1 callback page that does not load. That is expected: copy only the code query parameter from the address bar and complete the flow in the terminal:

Terminal window
openclaw mcp login sensefold --code '<code>'

The authorization code is single-use. Keep it local; do not paste it into a conversation or save it in a project file.

Verify

Section titled “Verify”

Run:

Terminal window
openclaw mcp status --verbose
openclaw mcp doctor sensefold --probe
openclaw mcp probe sensefold --json

The status says authorized. A read-only probe reports six tools: search_hub, list_items, get_item, get_quota, search, and fetch, with no diagnostics. Edit and full-access connections expose additional write tools.

If OpenClaw already cached an incomplete OAuth attempt, rerun openclaw mcp login sensefold to create a fresh authorization request. Use openclaw mcp logout sensefold only when you intentionally want to clear the saved local credentials.

See the OpenClaw MCP CLI reference for tool filters, profiles, and runtime behavior.

Try it

Section titled “Try it”
  • “Search my Sensefold library for prior notes about MCP clients.”
  • “Read my latest saved item about personal context and summarize it.”

See the MCP tools reference for every Sensefold tool and permission tier, agent permissions for revocation and undo, and troubleshooting if the callback or login fails.

Tiers, revocation, and undo: Permissions. What the client receives: Privacy for connected AI. Problems: Troubleshooting.
