Config Template (Copy & Paste)

Drop the MCPs you need into mcpServers, scope working folders, and avoid over-permissioning.

Example MCP config json 
# Add to clawdbot config (example)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./workdir"]
    }
  }
}
  • Replace ./workdir with your project root to avoid exposing the whole disk.
  • Use environment variables for MCPs that need credentials (GitHub, Google Drive, Slack).
  • Validate high-privilege MCPs (Filesystem, Puppeteer) in a sandbox before production.
