powd

powd gives MCP-capable agents a local mining capability they can use through natural language.

powd works with any host that can launch a local stdio MCP server. Today that includes OpenClaw, Codex, and Claude Code.

What You Can Do

• connect a Starcoin payout wallet
• check mining status
• check wallet rewards
• start, pause, resume, or stop mining
• switch between auto, idle, light, balanced, and aggressive

Install powd

For Codex, Claude Code, or any other generic MCP host, install the powd binary from GitHub Releases first.

• Download the latest stable powd release for your platform from GitHub Releases.
• Supported platforms today:
  • Linux x86_64
  • macOS Apple Silicon
  • Windows x86_64
• Place the powd binary somewhere on your PATH, then verify:

powd --help

Choose Your Host

OpenClaw

Install the OpenClaw plugin:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@starcoinorg/openclaw-powd
openclaw gateway restart

Then in OpenClaw, say:

install powd

OpenClaw will download the latest stable powd binary, install it locally, and register it as an MCP server.

Codex

After installing the powd binary locally, add it as an MCP server:

codex mcp add powd -- /absolute/path/to/powd mcp serve

Claude Code

After installing the powd binary locally, add it as an MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport stdio powd -- /absolute/path/to/powd mcp serve

Other MCP Hosts

If your host can launch a local stdio MCP server, point it at:

powd mcp serve

If your host accepts a command / args / env configuration object, you can use:

powd mcp config

What To Say After Setup

• Set my wallet to 0x...
• Show my mining status
• How much reward has this wallet earned?
• Start mining
• Pause mining for now
• Switch to balanced mode
• Set mining mode to auto

What To Expect

• wallet settings are stored locally on your machine
• your agent host talks to powd through MCP
• powd starts its own local runtime when it needs to do work
• OpenClaw installation does not automatically start mining

Troubleshooting

• The /powd command does not appear Restart the OpenClaw gateway after installing the plugin.

• Your host cannot find powd Make sure the powd binary is installed locally and available at the exact path you registered.

• install powd fails in OpenClaw The OpenClaw plugin currently supports Linux x86_64 and macOS Apple Silicon, and it needs access to GitHub Releases.

• OpenClaw still points to an older powd path Ask OpenClaw to install powd again. The installer repairs the saved MCP registration.

• Mining commands fail because no wallet is configured Ask your agent to set your wallet first.
