+### MCP (Model Context Protocol)
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The config format is compatible with Claude Desktop / Cursor. You can copy MCP server configs directly from any MCP server's README.
+
+nanobot supports [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) — connect external tool servers and use them as native agent tools.
+
+Add MCP servers to your `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "filesystem": {
+        "command": "npx",
+        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/dir"]
+      },
+      "my-remote-mcp": {
+        "url": "https://example.com/mcp/",
+        "headers": {
+          "Authorization": "Bearer xxxxx"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Two transport modes are supported:
+
+| Mode | Config | Example |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| **Stdio** | `command` + `args` | Local process via `npx` / `uvx` |
+| **HTTP** | `url` + `headers` (optional) | Remote endpoint (`https://mcp.example.com/sse`) |
+
+MCP tools are automatically discovered and registered on startup. The LLM can use them alongside built-in tools — no extra configuration needed.

+

+
+# ClawHub
+
+Public skill registry for AI agents. Search by natural language (vector search).
+
+## When to use
+
+Use this skill when the user asks any of:
+- "find a skill for …"
+- "search for skills"
+- "install a skill"
+- "what skills are available?"
+- "update my skills"
+
+## Search
+
+```bash
+npx --yes clawhub@latest search "web scraping" --limit 5
+```
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npx --yes clawhub@latest install <slug> --workdir ~/.nanobot/workspace
+```
+
+Replace `<slug>` with the skill name from search results. This places the skill into `~/.nanobot/workspace/skills/`, where nanobot loads workspace skills from. Always include `--workdir`.
+
+## Update
+
+```bash
+npx --yes clawhub@latest update --all --workdir ~/.nanobot/workspace
+```
+
+## List installed
+
+```bash
+npx --yes clawhub@latest list --workdir ~/.nanobot/workspace
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Requires Node.js (`npx` comes with it).
+- No API key needed for search and install.
+- Login (`npx --yes clawhub@latest login`) is only required for publishing.
+- `--workdir ~/.nanobot/workspace` is critical — without it, skills install to the current directory instead of the nanobot workspace.
+- After install, remind the user to start a new session to load the skill.
