Skills vs MCP servers — what's the difference?

Skills are OpenClaw's own modular capabilities: a web search skill, a file reading skill, a code execution skill. They're installed per-agent with one click and immediately available for that agent to use.

MCP servers are third-party tool integrations following the Model Context Protocol: GitHub, Notion, Slack, Brave Search, databases. They give your agents access to external systems. Both skills and MCP servers are managed through the UI — no JSON configuration files.

Frequently asked questions

OpenClaw includes 20 pre-installed skills on the Solo plan, 30 on Team, and 40 on Studio. Categories include Research (web search, summarization), Development (code execution, file editing), Writing (drafting, editing), Analytics (data analysis, charting), and Automation (webhook triggers, scheduling).
Go to Agents → select an agent → Skills tab → click the + icon next to any available skill. The skill is added immediately with no configuration needed.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are integrations that give your agents access to external tools and data sources. Examples: GitHub (access repositories), Brave Search (real-time web search), Notion (read/write pages), Slack (post messages). They're configured through the MCP tab in your dashboard.
Yes. All plans support custom skills. You write a skill as a prompt template or a callable function, upload it, and assign it to any agent. The Studio plan includes priority support for custom skill development.
