Hermes and OpenClaw

Hermes and OpenClaw use the same Stackarr actions, authority profiles, service filtering, and activity history as every other MCP client.

Hermes

Generate the Hermes install command on the Docker host:

docker exec app /app/bin/stackarr mcp config hermes --profile manage

Run the generated command, then restart Hermes or start a new session. Hermes receives Stackarr's individual tool schemas, service-aware catalog, and safety annotations.

OpenClaw

Generate and import the Stackarr MCP server entry in OpenClaw:

docker exec app /app/bin/stackarr mcp config openclaw --profile manage

The generated configuration uses this Docker stdio connection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackarr": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "exec",
        "-i",
        "-e",
        "STACKARR_MCP_PROFILE=manage",
        "app",
        "/app/bin/stackarr",
        "mcp",
        "serve"
      ],
      "timeout": 120,
      "connect_timeout": 30
    }
  }
}

If the installed OpenClaw version cannot show MCP approval prompts, destructive actions fail closed. Choose unrestricted only if you intentionally want OpenClaw to operate without those prompts.

Change the authority

Replace manage with:

• observe for a read-only assistant
• admin for setup or infrastructure work
• unrestricted for complete autonomous control

Restart the MCP connection after changing authority or enabled Stackarr apps.
