# Set Up with OpenClaw

> Connect Smithers to OpenClaw with one command that installs the native plugin and registers the MCP server.

OpenClaw has a native Smithers plugin, so the plugin is the way we recommend.
One command installs it and registers the MCP server as a baseline tool
surface: OpenClaw gets tools to run, inspect, approve, and read workflow
outputs, plus a bundled skill that nudges it toward reusable, eval-backed
workflows.

## Install (recommended)

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
bunx smithers-orchestrator init
bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add --agent openclaw
```

## Check it worked

Ask OpenClaw:

> "What Smithers workflows are available here?"

It should list them via the plugin's tools. From there, ask for outcomes
([What You Can Do](/guide/what-you-can-do)) and OpenClaw drives the runs.

<Note>
  The agent-facing details (extension paths, both integration directions) live
  in the Technical API at [OpenClaw](/agents/openclaw). You don't need them;
  OpenClaw does.
