FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Parallel AI MCP servers for web research in NanoClaw?

To integrate Parallel AI MCP servers in NanoClaw, update the container runner and agent runner configurations to enable MCP servers, and securely expose the required API key via environment management. This enables fast web lookups and thorough analyses within agent tasks.

Do I need an API key to use Parallel AI web search in isolated containers?

Yes, an API key is required to use Parallel AI web search. You must configure environment management to securely expose the API key to the isolated NanoClaw containers before executing quick search or deep research workflows.

What is the difference between quick search and deep research using the Parallel AI API?

Quick search performs fast web lookups using the free Parallel Search API, while deep research conducts comprehensive analysis using the Parallel Task API. Deep research workflows require permission before executing thorough analytical tasks.

How does NanoClaw handle blocking when running deep research tasks?

NanoClaw prevents container blocking during deep research tasks by using its internal scheduler for result polling. This non-blocking design allows agent tasks to retrieve comprehensive analysis results asynchronously.

Can I perform automated web lookups inside NanoClaw without leaving the container?

Yes, you can perform automated web lookups entirely within the isolated NanoClaw container. The Parallel AI MCP integration enables fast search capabilities directly inside agent tasks without requiring external access.

How do I configure environment variables for MCP servers in NanoClaw agent runners?

Configuring MCP servers in NanoClaw requires updating the agent runner settings and using environment management to securely inject the API key. This setup ensures the MCP integration can access the Parallel AI services safely.
