Use Done in OpenClaw

Connect Done to OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot): add https://trydone.app/mcp as a streamable-HTTP server, sign in with OAuth, and probe the connection.

Who this is for

For OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) users who want their agent to keep a shared to-do list with them — capturing tasks, working the ones you hand it, and asking before anything you'd want to decide.

Set it up

Done's MCP server URL

https://trydone.app/mcp

Add the server and sign in Sign in with OAuth

  1. Add Done as a streamable-HTTP server:
    openclaw mcp add done --url https://trydone.app/mcp --transport streamable-http
  2. Sign in. OpenClaw's sign-in runs offline, so stop the Gateway first, then approve access in Done:
    openclaw gateway stop
openclaw mcp login done
  3. Start the Gateway again and probe the connection:
    openclaw mcp doctor done --probe

Use the sign-in rather than a static Authorization header: some OpenClaw versions don't forward custom headers on streamable-HTTP servers.

What to say to it

Once Done is connected, talk to the assistant normally. Each of these maps to a real Done tool:

“What's on my plate today?”
get_todays_plan
“Add a task: send the invoice to Sam friday p1”
quick_capture
“Pick up your next Done task and propose a plan before you start.”
next_task → propose_plan
“If you hit a decision you can't make, ask me and keep going with the rest.”
ask_decision
“When it's finished, send it to me for approval.”
propose_completion

Every tool, prompt and resource Done exposes is listed in the MCP reference.

The approval gate

By default an assistant can't close your tasks. When it thinks a task is finished it calls propose_completion, which parks the task as Pending approval until you approve it or send it back from Needs you; substantial work starts with propose_plan, which waits for your go-ahead. A question goes through ask_decision: that task waits for your answer while the agent moves on to the next one. Done enforces this on its own server, so it holds whatever the assistant tries — an agent can only complete a task directly when you've set that task's Autonomy to let it.

Troubleshooting

The probe can't connect
Make sure you passed --transport streamable-http. Done speaks streamable HTTP, not the older SSE transport.
A running agent doesn't see Done
An agent or Gateway running elsewhere needs its own reload or a restart to pick up a new server.

FAQ

Will restarting the Gateway sign me out?

No. A restart ends a sign-in that's still in progress, but keeps the saved one.

Is there a shared API key for Done?

No. Every connection belongs to one Done account: an OAuth sign-in, or an MCP token you generate yourself. There is no shared or global key. Each connected assistant is listed under Settings → Agent access, where you can revoke it in a click.

What can the assistant see?

Only what your account can see: your workspaces and anything shared with you. A read-only, one-project or one-workspace token narrows that further.

Does it cost anything?

The Free plan includes 100 agent (MCP) calls a month; Pro and Teams are unlimited. The assistant's own plan is separate.
