// openclaw-tools bridge (Adolf P5) — a minimal MCP server that proxies a // small slice of the OpenClaw gateway's agent tools (message / cron / nodes / // browser) to Kimi CLI sessions, over MCP Streamable HTTP. // // Why a bridge instead of pointing Kimi straight at the gateway: the gateway // only speaks its own WS/HTTP protocol (`/tools/invoke`, docs/gateway/ // tools-invoke-http-api.md in the openclaw source), not MCP. This process is // the thin translation layer: MCP tool call in, `POST {gateway}/tools/invoke` // out, gateway JSON result back as MCP tool content. // // Gate (P6 dependency, verified against the openclaw source docs at // /home/alvis/adolf/docs/gateway/tools-invoke-http-api.md): the gateway's // `/tools/invoke` HTTP surface hard-denies `cron`, `gateway`, and `nodes` by // default, and those three stay owner-only even if `gateway.tools.allow` // re-enables them for non-owner callers. Shared-secret bearer auth (what this // bridge uses) IS treated as a full owner/operator turn, so once P6 adds // `gateway.tools.allow: ["cron", "nodes"]` (or similar) to the running // adolf/openclaw.json, cron_create/cron_list/nodes_invoke below start working // with no change here. `message` and `browser` are NOT in that default deny // list, so message_send should work as soon as the gateway is up and its // normal `tools.*` policy allows those tools for the caller — no special P6 // HTTP-deny override needed for those two. // // Until the `adolf` gateway container is actually configured and running // (P6), every proxied call below will fail at the fetch() step (connection // refused) — that is expected for P5 and is NOT a bug in this bridge.
