Set up in minutes

The open button drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:
  1. Choose where it runs

    On your computer through your own OpenClaw, or hosted in the cloud. The rest of setup adapts to your choice:

  2. Pick what it can do in Semantic Scholar

    A preset of real Semantic Scholar operations. Each one becomes a tool the agent can call, and it can't touch anything outside the list.

  3. Connect Semantic Scholar

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to the operations you picked.

  4. Add your personal MCP link

    The last step mints a private MCP URL for this agent and walks you through exactly this, with your real link filled in. The page flips to Connected the moment your OpenClaw first calls in. OpenClaw probes the server while adding it, so this lights up during openclaw mcp add.

    Run this in your terminal

    $openclaw mcp add noclick --url https://mcp.noclick.app/s/<your-link>

    <your-link> is your personal server URL — setup mints it for you.
