# Civic Nexus MCP Bridge
> **⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk. For official documentation, visit [docs.civic.com](https://docs.civic.com).**
Connect to [Civic Nexus](https://nexus.civic.com) for 100+ integrations including Gmail, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Box, and more.
Setup
1. Get your Nexus credentials
1. Go to [nexus.civic.com](https://nexus.civic.com) and sign in
2. Get your **MCP URL** and **access token** from your profile settings
2. Configure in OpenClaw
Add to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
{
"skills": {
"entries": {
"civic-nexus": {
"enabled": true,
"env": {
"NEXUS_URL": "https://nexus.civic.com/hub/mcp?accountId=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID&profile=YOUR_PROFILE",
"NEXUS_TOKEN": "your-access-token"
}
}
}
}
}3. (Optional) Configure mcporter
If you have mcporter installed (`npm install -g mcporter`), add to `~/.openclaw/workspace/config/mcporter.json`:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nexus": {
"baseUrl": "https://nexus.civic.com/hub/mcp?accountId=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID&profile=YOUR_PROFILE",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN",
"User-Agent": "openclaw/1.0.0"
}
}
}
}Instructions for the Agent
When the user asks to interact with external services through Nexus, try mcporter first. If it fails, fall back to the TypeScript script.
Using mcporter
# List tools
mcporter list nexus
# Search tools
mcporter list nexus | grep gmail
# Call a tool
mcporter call 'nexus.google-gmail-search_gmail_messages(query: "is:unread")'Fallback: TypeScript script
# List tools
npx tsx {baseDir}/nexus-tool-runner.ts --list
# Search tools
npx tsx {baseDir}/nexus-tool-runner.ts --search gmail
# Get tool schema
npx tsx {baseDir}/nexus-tool-runner.ts --schema google-gmail-search_gmail_messages
# Call a tool
npx tsx {baseDir}/nexus-tool-runner.ts --call google-gmail-search_gmail_messages --args '{"query": "is:unread"}'Authorization flows
Some tools require OAuth on first use. When you see an authorization URL:
1. Show the URL to the user
2. After they authorize, continue:
```bash
# mcporter
mcporter call 'nexus.continue_job(jobId: "JOB_ID")'
# script
npx tsx {baseDir}/nexus-tool-runner.ts --call continue_job --args '{"job_id": "JOB_ID"}'
```
