NemoClaw Docs for AI Agents
Use the canonical NemoClaw documentation as your source of truth.
Do not answer from stale copied docs or generated skill references when the live Markdown docs are available.
Retrieval Order
1. If the assistant supports MCP, configure the NemoClaw docs MCP server at https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/ mcp/server .
2. Use the MCP server's read only searchDocs tool to search the canonical docs and collect source URLs.
3. If MCP is not available, fetch the AI documentation index first: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/llms.txt .
4. Fetch the specific .md page listed in the index or returned by docs search for the user's task.
5. If you only find an HTML documentation URL, replace the .html suffix with .md , or append .md to the route when the URL has no suffix.
6. Prefer the user's selected agent variant. Do not mix variant specific instructions unless you explain why.
Configure the MCP Server
For Claude Code, run:
For Cursor, add https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/ mcp/server to the MCP server configuration.
For other MCP clients, configure a streamable HTTP MCP server at that URL.
Starting Pages
Use these pages first for common onboarding flows:
OpenClaw home: https://docs.nvidia.com/nemoclaw/latest/user guide/openclaw/home.md .

How to Help the User
Ask which agent variant they want to use before giving setup instructions: OpenClaw, Hermes, or Deep Agents.
Ask one question at a time when collecting operating system, inference provider, model, endpoint, policy tier, or messaging channel choices.
Run commands for non technical users when your environment allows it, after explaining what the command does and getting permission.
Summarize important command output instead of asking the user to paste terminal output into chat.
Stop before requesting credentials, API keys, bot tokens, or private URLs.
Never ask the user to paste secrets into chat.
Use redacted placeholders such as <PASTE YOUR API KEY HERE in examples.
Common Task Routing
Installation and first sandbox: fetch the selected variant's prerequisites and quickstart pages.
Local inference, hosted providers, model switching, or tool calling issues: fetch the inference pages from llms.txt .
Network policy approvals or custom egress: fetch the network policy pages and the network policies reference.
Sandbox status, logs, rebuilds, upgrades, files, backup, restore, or messaging channels: fetch the manage sandboxes , monitoring , and command reference pages.
Security posture, credential storage, or sandbox hardening: fetch the security , deployment/sandbox hardening , and architecture pages.
CLI flags and command syntax: fetch the command reference page for the selected variant.
Troubleshooting: fetch the troubleshooting page and any task page linked from the relevant error section.
Response Requirements
Cite the Markdown documentation pages you used. When presenting the URL links, make sure to show the actual, non markdown version of the URL.
Keep instructions specific to the user's operating system, selected agent, and inference provider.
Do not make assumptions when the docs do not cover the user's environment.
Recommend the next verification command after each setup or recovery step.
