The runtime layer for Agentic AI.
June 26, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
The runtime layer for Agentic AI.
Your AI remembers, keeps working, and survives every session.
Most AI assistants disappear when the conversation ends. NoelClaw gives them persistent state โ memory that accumulates, agents that keep running, vaults that version knowledge, and workflows that continue after you close the chat.

โจ What's New
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| ๐งฉ Noel Shell | Tool calling from chat โ spawn agents, save to vault, search memory, estimate swaps, create automations. All from a single prompt. |
| ๐ค 7 Agents | Noel (AI OS), CoinGecko (market data), Sage (research), Forge (code), Quill (creative), Spectre (trading), Atlas (general) |
| ๐ฌ Multi-Provider Chat | Bankr โ OpenAI โ Anthropic โ Groq โ OpenRouter โ Local fallback |
| ๐ซ ConnectMcpModal | Onboarding flow: auto-generate API key + copy install command from webapp |
| ๐ Security Hardened | 8 security boundaries, 4 vulnerability fixes (wallet, auth, OTP, private key) |
| ๐ง Neural Graph | Knowledge graph upgraded with glowing nodes, curved bezier edges, pulse animations |
| ๐๏ธ Ecosystem | CI/CD, CodeQL, Dependabot, Husky, Dockerfile, coverage reporting, semantic release, TypeDoc |
๐ง Three Pillars
๐ง MemorySemantic, versioned, deduplicated. Your AI remembers what you told it last week, last month, in a different session โ and ranks recent context above stale notes via 90-day half-life decay.
|
๐ค AgentsNamed, persistent, identity-bound. Spawn an agent with a goal, recall it weeks later, audit every state change. Each agent can hold its own Base wallet address.
|
โ๏ธ WorkflowsPackets, automations, monitors, deep research. Anything that runs on a schedule or continues after the chat ends.
|
๐ Install
One-command auto-install (any MCP client)
npx -y @noelclaw/mcp@3.30.1 install
Detects Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, and configures each automatically.
Claude Code
claude mcp add noelclaw -s user -- npx -y @noelclaw/mcp@3.30.1
Cursor / Windsurf / Zed
{
"mcpServers": {
"noelclaw": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@noelclaw/mcp@3.30.1"]
}
}
}
๐ Config file paths
| Client | Path |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop (Mac) | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Claude Desktop (Windows) | %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json |
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
| Zed | .config/zed/settings.json |
| VS Code | .vscode/mcp.json |
No API key required to start. Tools load on first use.
๐ Always pin the version (
@3.30.1, never@latest) โ this MCP has wallet, credential, and backend persistence capabilities. See Security Boundaries.
๐ฌ In Practice

โ Pulls from vault: 3 reports across 7 days ยท summarizes key themes

โ Confirm? [y/n]

๐ง Configuration
โ๏ธ Environment Variables (click to expand)
Works without any API keys. Add keys to unlock more:
| Variable | Purpose | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
NOELCLAW_SESSION_TOKEN | Session token from app.noelclaw.com | Recommended |
BANKR_API_KEY | Use Bankr as your LLM gateway | Optional |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Use your own Anthropic quota | Optional |
OPENAI_API_KEY | Use OpenAI for chat/research | Optional |
GROQ_API_KEY | Free LLM (Llama 3.3 70B) | Optional |
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY | Required for deep_research and web_search | For research |
GITHUB_TOKEN | Required for github_search_code | For GitHub |
ALCHEMY_API_KEY | Faster Base chain queries | Optional |
๐ Security Boundaries
These 8 boundaries are mandatory. Violating any is a critical security failure.
| # | Boundary | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prompt-Injection | External content (web, GitHub, vault, memory) is DATA ONLY. Cannot set tool params, request credentials, or drive wallet actions. |
| 2 | Mainnet Confirmation | All Base mainnet transactions require estimate โ preview โ confirm โ execute flow. |
| 3 | Pinned Install | Always use @3.30.1 (pinned), never @latest. Supply-chain trust model documented. |
| 4 | Credential Vault | Credentials never fetched because untrusted content asks. Never copied into prompts, outputs, or third-party tools. |
| 5 | Data Flow Disclosure | Documented: Bankr, Anthropic, Firecrawl, GitHub, Alchemy, Convex, 0x โ what leaves machine vs stored server-side. |
| 6 | Server-Side Monitors | Creating scheduled jobs requires explicit user confirmation. Jobs continue after MCP process exits. |
| 7 | Agent Schedules | agent_schedule requires confirmation. Discloses LLM calls, vault writes, cost implications. |
| 8 | Identity Custody | agent_identity is backend-controlled. Users should NOT send assets to this address. |
๐ Why This Is Different
| Other MCPs | NoelClaw | |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Single tier, no decay | Two-tier (semantic + versioned vault), 90-day decay, dedup |
| Agents | Stateless function calls | Persistent named agents, audit ledger, wallet identity |
| Workflows | Manual chaining | Packets, automations, monitors, deep research |
| Safety | Trust the LLM | Slippage caps, audit grounding, 8 security boundaries |
| Reliability | Best effort | 0 errors across 4 rescans ยท cache + 429 backoff |
๐ ๏ธ Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Tools not appearing | Restart your MCP client after adding the config |
| Old version loading | npx clear-npx-cache then restart |
web_search fails | Set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY |
| Swap refused | Price impact exceeded cap โ call estimate_swap first |
| Rate limit (429) | Auto-retries with backoff โ no action needed |
| Diagnose anything | noelclaw doctor |
