ClawQL Learn

ClawQL Learn is the home for practical guides and, over time, structured training across the whole stack—from your first npx clawql-mcp through production deployment and optional tools.

Start here

If you are new to ClawQL, follow this sequence:

  1. Quickstart — run the MCP server and connect a client in minutes
  2. Install — binaries, Docker, and Streamable HTTP
  3. MCP clients — Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP hosts
  4. Concepts — how search and execute fit together
  5. Using search and executesearch / execute inputs, args, fields, and pitfalls
  6. Tools — full tool surface and behavior
  7. OpenClaw with ClawQL — gateway + openclaw mcp set + smoke path

Learn modules

Curated walkthroughs under /learn— the same links as ClawQL Learn in the sidebar.

Using search & execute

`search` / `execute` inputs, args, response fields, and common pitfalls when calling loaded OpenAPI specs.

External ingest & knowledge lake

Import Markdown or a single URL into the vault with `ingest_external_knowledge`, dry runs, and vault pairing.

Onyx enterprise search

Optional `knowledge_search_onyx`: ACL-aware semantic search over your enterprise Onyx index.

Document pipeline

Five-vendor path: Tika → Gotenberg → Stirling → Paperless → Onyx — ingest, OCR, and indexing.

Sandbox exec

Optional `sandbox_exec`: Seatbelt, Docker, or Cloudflare bridge — isolated snippets and safety notes.

Ouroboros tools

`ouroboros_*`: seed from documents, evolutionary loop, Postgres lineage, and route hints vs raw infra.

OpenClaw with ClawQL

Gateway wiring, `openclaw mcp set`, and a smoke path so agents use the same MCP surface as Cursor.

Schedule & notify workflows

`schedule` synthetics plus `notify` to Slack — threads, HITL hooks, and Label Studio handoff patterns.

Cache handoff between chats

Core `cache` tool: scratch state, TTL, namespacing, and carrying context into a new chat session.

Vault memory between chats

Durable `memory_ingest` / `memory_recall` across MCP restarts — vault paths, graph depth, and hygiene.

Audit tool & observability

Core `audit` ring buffer plus Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki — breadcrumbs without vault writes.

Install, specs, deployment, networking, and operations pages outside /learn that pair with the modules above.

Spec configuration

OpenAPI paths, URLs, Google Discovery, merged presets, and CLAWQL_* precedence for loaded specs.

Deployment

Docker, Streamable HTTP, Cloud Run, and links to Kubernetes and remote MCP endpoints.

Tailscale & Headscale

Private tailnets for MCP: MagicDNS, Serve, CLAWQL_MCP_URL, ACLs, and mesh vs cluster DNS.

Kubernetes

Helm install, gRPC and HTTP, auth, rebuilds, and Kustomize patterns for dev and prod clusters.

Helm

Chart at charts/clawql-mcp: values, GHCR image, optional Ingress, PVC, and upgrade notes.

Docker Desktop: Istio & observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo, Kiali, and OTel Collector on Docker Desktop — beginner-oriented runbooks.

OpenClaw + ClawQL

Gateway product page plus cross-links to the full Learn walkthrough for `openclaw mcp set`.

Security

Golden image pipeline, Kyverno, Cosign keyless signing, Trivy/OSV gates, and supply-chain references.

Troubleshooting

Common MCP host failures, spec loading, auth, and where to look first when something breaks.

Case studies

Long-form narratives: incidents, sessions, and homelab deep dives — same cards as the home page Case studies section.

Case study: Cloudflare docs

End-to-end MCP workflow: search, execute, memory_recall, memory_ingest — deploying docs.clawql.com and fixing Worker runtime issues.

Case study: Vault + GitHub session

memory_ingest at scale, issue triage and new tracking issues, prioritization, and shipping the enterprise audit tool with full docs and Helm wiring.

Case study: Cross-thread vault recall

Before and after: repo-only search vs memory_recall — Obsidian graph, Cuckoo/hybrid memory roadmaps, wikilinks, and session resume workflows.

Case study: TrueNAS corgicave homelab

TrueNAS SCALE on a switch island: Mac errno 49, Docker/K8s utun, memory_ingest/recall, Thunderbolt vs SSH — full triage ladder and resolution.

Case study: Worker 1102 + MCP + memory

docs.clawql.com incident: Error 1102 and waitUntil warnings; search/execute on Cloudflare APIs; memory_ingest postmortem; Lighthouse CI and prevention runbook.

Case study: Slide deck vs GitHub (cache + recall)

memory_recall before filing parity issues; cache() for ephemeral scratch; 12 new issues for deck themes; memory_ingest to close the loop — April 2026 session.

Modules and certifications

Structured courses, quizzes, and badges are not published yet. When they ship, they will live under /learn (for example, dedicated paths per module) so you can bookmark https://docs.clawql.com/learn as the single entry point for training.

If you want a topic prioritized for the first module, open a discussion or issue on GitHub.
