PicoClaw setup

• Refer to Running PicoClaw on UNIHIKER M10 to ensure PicoClaw is operating correctly.
• edit ~/.picoclaw/config.json, add MCP settings with port 5005 (This value MUST match "MCP_PORT" specified in config.py)

"mcp": {
        "enabled": true,
        "servers": {
            "lamp": {
                "enabled": true,
                "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5005/mcp",
                "protocol": "http"
            }
        },
        "discovery": {
            "enabled": true,
            "ttl": 5,
            "max_search_results": 5,
            "use_bm25": true,
            "use_regex": false
        }
    },

Software setup

Run the following commands to clone the project repository and install the required libraries.

git clone https://github.com/teamprof/unihiker-picoclaw.git
cd unihiker-picoclaw/dashboard
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run app

• Ensure that the PicoClaw binary file is located at "/root/picoclaw/picoclaw", or update "config.py" to set the correct path
• Define "MCP_PORT" and ensure that "MCP_PORT" in config.py matches the servers-lamp port number specified in ~/.picoclaw/config.json

PATH_PICOCLAW = "/root/picoclaw/picoclaw"

    MCP_PORT = 5005

- Launch the dashboard by executing the following command.
