Remote OpenClaw MCP Server

An MCP server that lets any AI agent — Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Cursor — search Remote OpenClaw directly from your editor: a directory of 13,870+ MCP servers, 4,384+ agent skills, and plugins.

Instead of opening a browser to find a tool, your agent can just search the directory for you and hand back install commands.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_mcp_serversFind an MCP server for a task (databases, scraping, GitHub…)
search_skillsFind a reusable agent skill, with its install command
search_pluginsFind a plugin / marketplace package

Each returns names, descriptions, links, and popularity, ranked by stars or installs.

Install

Add it to your MCP client config (no API key needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remoteopenclaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "remoteopenclaw"]
    }
  }
}
  • Claude Code: add the block above to ~/.claude.json (or run claude mcp add remoteopenclaw -- npx -y remoteopenclaw)
  • Cursor / Windsurf / other MCP clients: add the same block to your MCP settings

Usage

Ask your agent things like:

  • "Find me an MCP server for Postgres."
  • "Search Remote OpenClaw for a PDF skill."
  • "What plugins are there for testing?"

Your agent calls the matching tool, searches the directory, and returns the top results with links and install commands.

How it works

A thin wrapper over the public Remote OpenClaw search API (https://www.remoteopenclaw.com/api/search), so results are always live and the package stays tiny. Built with the Model Context Protocol TypeScript SDK.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y remoteopenclaw

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-aidevelopers2-remoteopenclaw-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "remoteopenclaw"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
