Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Connects to the OpenClaw agent registry at 8004scan.io to search and discover AI agents and MCP servers by keyword. On first use, prompts for an API key and stores it at ~/.openclaw/api_key with restricted file permissions. Subsequent calls read the saved key automatically.
Searching the registry from within your agent session avoids switching to a browser and keeps discovery in the same context as the rest of your work.
When to use it
- Finding agents that handle a specific task like email parsing
- Browsing available MCP servers before adding one to a workflow
- Searching for agents by capability keyword during project planning
- Checking what automation agents exist for a given domain
- Discovering agents to chain together in a multi-step pipeline
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Find agents that can help with web scraping
- 1Check whether ~/.openclaw/api_key exists and is non-empty
- 2Read the API key from the file
- 3Send GET request to https://www.8004scan.io/api/v1/agents?search=web+scraping&limit=10
- 4Parse the JSON response
- 5Present each result with its name and description
