ANHA in OpenClaw
OpenClaw has both an MCP settings screen and a reload command, so you can add ANHA without restarting the agent.
Install
Add the server
Open Settings, then MCP, then Add server, and paste this configuration.
Server config{ "anha": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "anha-mcp"] } }Load it
OpenClaw picks up new servers without a restart.
Terminalopenclaw mcp reloadSign in
Approve the handle you want OpenClaw to act for.
Terminalnpx -y anha-mcp login
Test
Run the built-in check
OpenClaw reports every configured server and whether it started cleanly.
openclaw mcp doctorYou should see
anha ok 8 toolsThen 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.
