OpenClaw
stdio MCP configuration for OpenClaw.
OpenClaw can attach MCP stdio servers as tool providers, which makes Meivo a drop-in long-term memory for your assistant.
OpenClaw's configuration format has evolved across releases. The snippet below follows the common
mcpServersconvention used by most MCP clients - check your installed version's documentation for the exact key names and config file location before copying.
Setup
Install Meivo first (local quickstart). Then register a stdio MCP server in your OpenClaw config (typically a JSON file in its config directory):
{
"mcpServers": {
"meivo": {
"command": "gm-server",
"args": ["mcp"],
"env": {
"GM_DATA_DIR": "/home/you/.greatmemory"
}
}
}
}
Notes:
- Use an absolute path in
command(e.g./home/you/.cargo/bin/gm-server) if OpenClaw runs with a minimalPATH- common for daemonized gateways. GM_DATA_DIRpins the memory store to a fixed location; without it the database lands in./.greatmemoryrelative to the process working directory.- No separate server process is required - stdio mode opens the database
directly. If you already run
gm-server servefor other trusted clients, point OpenClaw at the streamable-HTTP endpointhttp://127.0.0.1:7437/mcpinstead (if your version supports HTTP MCP servers).
What you get
Thirteen tools cover remember, recall, cited context, profiles, temporal history, episodes, linked cards, and forget. See the MCP reference for parameters.
space is a retrieval namespace, not an authorization boundary. Do not expose
one direct MCP store to mutually untrusted OpenClaw users. Use separate data
directories or route shared enterprise access through the governance gateway.
