OpenClaw user reports improved utility after connecting to documentation via MCP

What Changed in This OpenClaw Setup
A user on r/clawdbot described their initial experience with OpenClaw as underwhelming, comparing it to "a fancy chatbot I didn't need." The setup was running but wasn't providing substantial value.
The key improvement came from connecting OpenClaw to the user's actual documentation instead of using it for general questions. The user specifically set up yavy.dev to index all their documentation and hooked it through MCP (Model Context Protocol).
After this integration, when asking about configuration or troubleshooting, OpenClaw "actually knows what it's talking about" according to the user. The setup also includes a couple of cron jobs and Telegram notifications, which the user describes as "small stuff but it adds up."
The user's advice to others: "If you're using OpenClaw and it feels underwhelming, try pointing it at your actual knowledge base instead of treating it like a general assistant." They report this approach "made a big difference" in their experience.
