**I. Prerequisites**

Setting Up Your Environment

To run the MEFS MCP Server on Windows, you’ll need to install two foundational tools: **Node.js** (the JavaScript runtime) and **Git** (for downloading the source code).

**Install Node.js:**

Visit [Node.js — Node.js 24.14.1 (LTS)](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v24.14.1?ref=blog.memolabs.org).

Select the appropriate version, download it, and run the installer. Keep all default options and click “Next” through each screen to complete the installation.

**Install Git:**

Visit [Git — Install for Windows](https://git-scm.com/install/windows?ref=blog.memolabs.org).

Download the Windows version and install it.

Verify the Installation:

Press **Win + R**, type **cmd**, and press Enter to open a Command Prompt.

Run **node -v** and **git — version**. If both commands return version numbers, the installations were successful.

**II. Installing and Setting Up the OpenClaw Runtime**

1\. Click the Windows Start menu, search for Windows PowerShell, and open it.

2\. Download and install the OpenClaw runtime

Run this command: **iwr -useb** [**https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1**](https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1) **| iex**

Note: Installation takes approximately 10 minutes. The terminal will display “**Installing OpenClaw**” throughout the process — please be patient and do not close the window.

3.When you see the prompt “I understand this is personal-by-default and shared/multi-user use requires lock-down. Continue?”:

l Use the **Up/Down arrow keys (↑ / ↓)**.

l Move the cursor to **Yes** (the confirmation option, typically listed above “No”).

l Press **Enter**.

Configure Skills: We recommend selecting “No” here — it’s much easier to install Skills from the web interface later.

Note: The only required configuration is the API key

**III. Install MEFS MCP Server**

Open a new Windows PowerShell window.

**1.** **Clone the repository**

Run: git clone [https://github.com/memoio/mefs-mcp-server.git](https://github.com/memoio/mefs-mcp-server.git)

**2.** **Navigate into the directory**

Run: **cd mefs-mcp-server**

**3.** **Install dependencies**

Run: **pnpm install**

4\. Build the project

Run: **pnpm build**

**IV. Start the server**

Have your **EVM private key** (without the 0x prefix) ready, then run the following in the current window:

$env:MEFS\_PRIVATE\_KEY=”your\_private\_key”; $env:PORT=8085; $env:MCP\_TRANSPORT\_MODE=”sse”; node dist/index.js

**Success indicator**：: you should see MCP SSE Server running on [http://0.0.0.0:8085/sse](http://0.0.0.0:8085/sse)[.](http://0.0.0.0:8085/sse.?ref=blog.memolabs.org)

**V. Putting It to Work**

Once the service is running, open your browser and navigate to the token-authenticated URL shown in the terminal. You can then issue instructions directly to the AI Agent in the chat window.
