RC13 · local stdio clients only · private candidate

Connect the local AI clients on this computer.

Use the guarded codex-config workflow for a Codex-backed client. Use client-config <client> for another candidate. Every entry is local and key-free.

OverviewInstallSkillsClientsTroubleshootingTesting status
Compatibility rule: a generated configuration is only the beginning. A supported client must start TentaClaw locally and show visible approval before every ask, create, and chat call.

Before configuring any client

tentaclaw-mcp init
tentaclaw-mcp status
tentaclaw-mcp doctor

The local server reads its own per-user configuration. Do not add the Poppy key or key-file path to any client configuration.

Codex CLI 0.145.0, Codex IDE, and the same local Codex host

tentaclaw-mcp codex-config install
tentaclaw-mcp codex-config check

These commands preserve unrelated TOML and comments, reject conflicting TentaClaw entries, and validate the staged entry through installed Codex. RC13 accepts only a boolean enabled = true and a documented non-empty cwd on an otherwise exact entry. An exact RC6 entry is UPGRADE_REQUIRED; install migrates only the argument vector. Do not manually merge client-config codex, which is reference output only.

ChatGPT desktop through the local Codex host

Use the same guarded Codex configuration above when the desktop surface uses the local Codex host. Browser-only ChatGPT cannot launch a process on this computer and is outside the local-only architecture. This surface remains candidate/unaccepted pending the RC13 live and write-approval record.

Claude Desktop

tentaclaw-mcp client-config claude-desktop

Merge the generated mcpServers.tentaclaw object into Claude Desktop’s config, preserving valid JSON and other servers. Completely quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

tentaclaw-mcp client-config claude-code

Run the one-line command it prints. Verify with claude mcp list and Claude Code’s /mcp command.

Gemini CLI 0.52.0

tentaclaw-mcp client-config gemini-cli

The integrity-locked 0.52.0 preflight and live read-only version/discovery/semantic checks pass. Full acceptance remains open until visible approval is recorded before every write tool. Gemini can show raw MCP arguments and results—including destination identifiers—in host-owned local tool panels; keep those panels local and share only sanitized evidence.

Perplexity for Mac local MCP

tentaclaw-mcp client-config perplexity-mac

Install Perplexity’s supported local MCP helper, create a local connector, and paste the single generated command. If the exact Perplexity app/account does not show local MCP support, that product surface is not available for this test.

MCP Inspector

tentaclaw-mcp client-config inspector

Run the complete npx command it prints. Inspector starts TentaClaw as a local subprocess. Use it first when another client is difficult to diagnose.

Intentionally excluded templates

RC13 does not ship OpenClaw or Hermes templates because their current generic MCP paths do not provide the dependable per-call write-action approval gate required by this release. Do not translate another client template into an unsupported setup.

Acceptance sequence for each client

  1. Record the exact client version and confirm local stdio startup.
  2. Confirm exactly six tools and call tentaclaw_version.
  3. Call approved boards and chats; distinguish chat assistants from nested conversations.
  4. Require a visible approval step before poppy_ask.
  5. Require a new visible approval before poppy_create_conversation.
  6. Require a new visible approval before poppy_chat.
  7. Confirm denied cross-pair and fake destinations fail without spending credits.
  8. Keep raw host tool panels local and share only sanitized evidence.
