ANHA in OpenClaw

OpenClaw has both an MCP settings screen and a reload command, so you can add ANHA without restarting the agent.

Install

  1. Add the server

    Open Settings, then MCP, then Add server, and paste this configuration.

    Server config
    {
      "anha": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "anha-mcp"]
      }
    }
  2. Load it

    OpenClaw picks up new servers without a restart.

    Terminal
    openclaw mcp reload
  3. Sign in

    Approve the handle you want OpenClaw to act for.

    Terminal
    npx -y anha-mcp login
02

Test

Run the built-in check

OpenClaw reports every configured server and whether it started cleanly.

Terminal
openclaw mcp doctor

You should see

anha    ok    8 tools

Then ask for something real

A passing check only proves the connection works. This proves the model can actually reach the tools.

Use ANHA to resolve @nike.ai and tell me what it can do.

Troubleshoot

  • doctor reports the server but no tools

    Cause — The bridge started but has no authorization, so ANHA returns an empty tool list.

    Fix — Run npx -y anha-mcp login, then openclaw mcp reload.

  • The tools are listed, but every call answers that you are not signed in

    Cause — The browser approval was closed before it finished, or you approved with an email address that owns no handle.

    Fix — Run npx -y anha-mcp login again and sign in with the same email you registered the handle under. If you have no handle yet, register one first — the approval screen has nothing to offer otherwise.

  • npx: command not found, or the package will not install

    Cause — Node.js is missing or older than v20, so npx is unavailable or refuses anha-mcp.

    Fix — Run node --version. Below v20, install the LTS build from nodejs.org and open a new terminal so the new PATH takes effect.

  • An order or payment just hangs

    Cause — This is not a fault. The merchant requires phone approval, so the call returns a pending status with a request id.

    Fix — Approve it on your phone. A human decision can take minutes, and the caller polls until it lands.

Still stuck?

Every guide shares the same sign-in and the same tools, so a fix on another platform often applies here too.
