Civic

2. Configure in OpenClaw

Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "civic": {
        "enabled": true,
        "env": {
          "CIVIC_URL": "https://nexus.civic.com/hub/mcp?accountId=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID&profile=YOUR_PROFILE",
          "CIVIC_TOKEN": "your-access-token"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. (Optional) Configure mcporter

If you have mcporter installed (npm install -g mcporter), add to ~/.openclaw/workspace/config/mcporter.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "civic": {
      "baseUrl": "https://nexus.civic.com/hub/mcp?accountId=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID&profile=YOUR_PROFILE",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN",
        "User-Agent": "openclaw/1.0.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

Instructions for the Agent

When the user asks to interact with external services through Civic, try mcporter first. If it fails, fall back to the TypeScript script.

Using mcporter

# List tools
mcporter list civic

# Search tools
mcporter list civic | grep gmail

# Call a tool
mcporter call 'civic.google-gmail-search_gmail_messages(query: "is:unread")'

Fallback: TypeScript script

# List tools
npx tsx {baseDir}/civic-tool-runner.ts --list

# Search tools
npx tsx {baseDir}/civic-tool-runner.ts --search gmail

# Get tool schema
npx tsx {baseDir}/civic-tool-runner.ts --schema google-gmail-search_gmail_messages

# Call a tool
npx tsx {baseDir}/civic-tool-runner.ts --call google-gmail-search_gmail_messages --args '{"query": "is:unread"}'

Authorization flows

Some tools require OAuth on first use. When you see an authorization URL:

1. Show the URL to the user
2. After they authorize, continue:

   # mcporter
   mcporter call 'civic.continue_job(jobId: "JOB_ID")'
   
   # script
   npx tsx {baseDir}/civic-tool-runner.ts --call continue_job --args '{"job_id": "JOB_ID"}'
   

Notes

• API calls can take 10-15 seconds (server-side latency)
• Tokens expire after ~30 days — regenerate from Civic if needed
• Gmail batch requests limited to 5-25 messages per call
