What if these models were told to clean up their tracks?

I totally agree, we’ve been working with enterprises and MCP is the defacto way they are using agents with data.

We build a gateway (MintMCP) and I’d love to connect and exchange notes.

We’re excited about XAA, it will simplify many flows

I don't get why everything is not marked as sensitive in env vars by default instead.

MCP tools. We're doing some MCP bundling and giving it here, pretty cool stuff.

This is powerful. Combined with MCPs, you can pretty much automate a ton of work.

We built a very similar thing! Also with git, very nice- if you’re looking for an enterprise ready version of this, hit me up

Love to discuss and see how we can make this more standard

Exactly. and even if so, how are you going to safe guard tool access?

Imagine your favorite email provider has a CLI for reading and sending email - you're cool with the agent reading, but not sending. What are you going to do? Make 2 API keys? Make N API keys for each possible tool configuration you care about?

MCPs make this problem simple and easy to solve. CLIs don't.

I don't think OpenClaw will last that long without security solved well - and MCPs seem to be obvious solution, but actively rejected by that community.

I think if you want background agents with sandboxes and well scoped permissions, you want MCP to be your data protocol and security layer.

If you’re vibing and doing the open claw thing without any security concerns; then you’re absolutely right.

The Skills I have for Claude are all based on personal preferences and reflects the setup I have going. It's a way to narrow the probability space to the specific set which works really well for me.

i've a simple setup with Claude Code and MCPs; and i get real benefits from better task mgmt, email mgmt, calendar, health/food/fitness tracking, working together with claude on tasks (that go into md files).

i don't think we need ClawdBot, but we do need a way to easily interact with the model such that it can create long term memories (likely as files).
