OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that can query and analyze your data when connected to Nekt through the MCP Server. The connection is made via OpenClaw’s mcporter skill, which handles MCP server discovery and configuration.
Requires a paid Nekt plan (for MCP Server access).

1. Activate your MCP Server

The connection is made by activating the MCP Server in your workspace. Check this guide for instructions.

2. Get your endpoint and token

In Nekt, click MCP in the top-right corner of the header, then Manage MCP Gateway. You’ll need two values:
  • Endpoint: the MCP server URL displayed at the top of the page
  • Token: a bearer token created in the Access tokens section
If you don’t have a token yet, create one, choosing Full access or Custom scope.
Tokens can be scoped per resource type (tables, volumes, secrets, context layer, and live connections) and per tool. Picking individual resources requires the Growth or Custom plan. See Permissions.

3. Connect OpenClaw to Nekt

1

Install the mcporter skill

If you haven’t already, install the mcporter skill in your OpenClaw instance. Refer to the OpenClaw documentation for skill installation instructions.
2

Add the Nekt MCP server

Use mcporter to register the Nekt MCP server. Run the following in your OpenClaw environment:
Replace MCP_ENDPOINT with the endpoint from the MCP Gateway page and MCP_TOKEN with the token you created.
3

Verify the connection

Ask OpenClaw to list the available Nekt tools to confirm the connection is working:
You should see the tools provided by the Nekt MCP Server. You can learn more about them here.

4. Explore your data

Once connected, ask OpenClaw a question about your data. For example:
OpenClaw will use the MCP tools to query your data and return an answer.

Privacy & Security

Your data privacy is a core principle of the Nekt platform. When you connect OpenClaw to Nekt through the MCP Server, OpenClaw does not receive direct database credentials or unrestricted access to your infrastructure. Instead, OpenClaw interacts with your data exclusively through the secure tools exposed by the Nekt MCP Server, which act as a controlled gateway to the Nekt API. These tools enforce the same authentication, authorization, and permission rules used throughout the Nekt platform. A full access token can do everything its user can, including writes. Use a scoped token to limit the tools and data OpenClaw can reach. Every request is recorded in the token access log (7 days on Starter, 30 on Growth, 90 on Custom; not available on Free). When using OpenClaw, your interactions are subject to OpenClaw’s privacy settings and the policies of the AI model you have configured (Claude, GPT-4, or a local model). We recommend reviewing the relevant privacy documentation to understand their data handling policies and selecting the configuration that best aligns with your organization’s security requirements.
