# `openclaw docs`
|
|
|
|
Search the live OpenClaw docs index from the terminal. The command shells out to the public Mintlify-hosted docs MCP search endpoint at `https://docs.openclaw.ai/mcp.search_open_claw` and renders the results in your terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw docs # print docs entrypoint and example search
|
|
openclaw docs <query...> # search the live docs index
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
| Argument | Description |
|
|
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `[query...]` | Free-form search query. Multi-word queries are joined with spaces and sent as one. |
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw docs browser existing-session
|
|
openclaw docs sandbox allowHostControl
|
|
openclaw docs gateway token secretref
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With no query, `openclaw docs` prints the docs entrypoint URL plus a sample search command instead of running a search.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
`openclaw docs` invokes the `mcporter` CLI to call the docs search MCP tool, then parses the `Title: / Link: / Content:` blocks from the tool output into a list of results.
|
|
|
|
To resolve `mcporter`, OpenClaw checks in order:
|
|
|
|
1. `mcporter` on `PATH` (used directly if present).
|
|
2. `pnpm dlx mcporter ...` if `pnpm` is installed.
|
|
3. `npx -y mcporter ...` if `npx` is installed.
|
|
|
|
If none are available, the command fails with a hint to install `pnpm` (`npm install -g pnpm`).
|
|
|
|
The search call uses a fixed 30 second timeout. Result snippets are truncated to ~220 characters per entry.
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
In a rich (TTY) terminal, results render as a heading followed by a bullet list. Each bullet shows the page title, the linked docs URL, and a short snippet on the next line. Empty results print "No results.".
|
|
|
|
In non-rich output (piped, `--no-color`, scripts), the same data renders as Markdown:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# Docs search: <query>
|
|
|
|
- [Title](https://docs.openclaw.ai/...) - snippet
|
|
- [Title](https://docs.openclaw.ai/...) - snippet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Exit codes
|
|
|
|
| Code | Meaning |
|
|
| ---- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `0` | Search succeeded (including zero-result responses). |
|
|
| `1` | The MCP tool call failed; stderr is printed inline. |
