# OpenClaw

## OpenClaw

Connect Block Scholes to OpenClaw for terminal-based access to crypto derivatives data and strategy backtesting.

### Step 1: Sign up for a Block Scholes account

Sign up for an account with Block Scholes at [Block Scholes Console](https://console.blockscholes.com/products/strategy-backtest).

### Step 2: Install OpenClaw

If you don't have OpenClaw installed, follow the setup instructions at [openclaw.ai](https://openclaw.ai).

### Step 3: Add the MCP Server

Run the following command to register the Block Scholes MCP server:

```bash
openclaw mcp set 'Block Scholes' '{"url": "https://mcp.blockscholes.com/mcp"}'
```

### Step 4: Install the MCPorter Skill

The `mcporter` skill helps OpenClaw manage MCP connections and authentication:

```bash
openclaw skills install mcporter
```

### Step 5: Authenticate

Send a test message to trigger the authentication flow:

> Using the Block Scholes MCP, get the current BTC ATM implied volatility

This will open a browser window to sign in or create a Block Scholes account. OpenClaw will track and maintain your authenticated session going forward.

### Step 6: Add the Block Scholes skill (Optional)

To keep prompts and outputs consistent, create the shared [Block Scholes Skill](/mcp/block-scholes-skill.md).

Use the same skill content in your preferred OpenClaw prompt or skills workflow.

### Recommended Model

Use **Claude Opus 4.5** or above when interacting with the Block Scholes MCP server for reliable tool-calling and accurate results.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockscholes.com/mcp/connecting-client/openclaw.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
