**The OpenClaw control plane MCP server.** Operate the gateway's full management surface from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client — list and trigger crons, inspect sessions, configure agents and channels, manage skills and secrets, drive the doctor memory plane, pair devices, approve exec/plugin calls. **143 typed tools** covering every JSON-RPC method the gateway publishes.

Different from the upstream [`openclaw-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/openclaw-mcp), which only wraps `/v1/chat/completions`. This one talks the JSON-RPC protocol used by the OpenClaw Control panel — so you can operate the gateway itself (its crons, sessions, agents, channels, skills, secrets, …), not just chat through it.
Without vs with
**Without `openclaw-control-mcp`** — you bounce between the Control panel UI, your terminal, and Claude Code. "List my crons" means opening the SPA. "Tail this agent session" means staying in the panel and refreshing. "Why did this skill fail?" means hunting through `logs.tail` manually. The assistant can chat through the gateway but it cannot **operate** it.
**With `openclaw-control-mcp`** — the same assistant queries `openclaw_cron_list`, follows up with `openclaw_sessions_tail` to watch a turn in flight, asks `openclaw_skills_status` for diagnostic data, rotates a secret via `openclaw_secre
