Note Sync for Openclaw

Follow these steps to configure Note Sync, one of the most reliable productivity Openclaw Skills:

Step 1: Clone the Repository and Build the MCP Binary

Clone the helper repository to your machine (or within WSL) and compile the Go executable:

git clone https://github.com/your-org/go-note-sync-mcp.git
cd go-note-sync-mcp/mcp-server
go build -o note-sync-mcp.exe

Ensure that the environment variable NOTE_SYNC_REPO points directly to the root of this cloned directory.

Step 2: Configure openclaw.json

Edit your Openclaw configuration file (usually located at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) to register the skill and its local MCP server. Replace <WSL_REPO> with your local repository path, and <SKILL_DIR> with the location where ClawHub installed the skill (typically ~/.openclaw/skills/note-sync):

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "note-sync": {
        "enabled": true,
        "env": {
          "NOTE_SYNC_REPO": "<WSL_REPO>"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "note-sync": {
        "command": "<SKILL_DIR>/scripts/note-sync-mcp.sh",
        "args": []
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Gateway and Verify

Restart the gateway process and check that the skill and tool are loaded correctly:

openclaw gateway restart
openclaw skills info note-sync
openclaw mcp list

Upon success, the append_note tool should be displayed in the terminal list.

The Note Sync skill manages data dynamically on your local filesystem under the <repo>/mcp-server/notes/ directory. Each note is saved as a discrete Markdown (.md) file using the inferred title as the filename.
