Install Ironclaw in Bob Shell
What you need first
- Bob Shell, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL,YOUR_IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN.
Steps
- Open
~/.codex/config.toml, or create it. The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this file. - Add this table at the end of the file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"ironclaw": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL", "-e", "IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/ironsecco/ironclaw-mcp:v0.1.569"],
"env": { "IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL": "YOUR_IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL", "IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN" }
}
}
} - Replace
YOUR_IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL,YOUR_IRONCLAW_API_TOKENwith your own values. - Save the file and restart Bob Shell.
Check it worked
Ask Bob Shell: List the tools of ironclaw.
If it does not start
- Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
- Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Bob Shell.
- The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
