Connect OpenClaw to your search.

OpenClaw manages the whole lifecycle from its CLI: register, sign in, probe, and later log out — each one command.

These steps follow OpenClaw's own documentation. We have not connected OpenClaw to SoloSearcher ourselves, so if a screen or a flag does not match what you see, trust the client — and tell us, so we can fix this page.

Browser sign-in #

OpenClaw stores and refreshes the token for you, and can hand it back with one command.

  1. Register the server and tell OpenClaw to sign in rather than use a key:
    openclaw mcp add solosearcher \
      --url https://app.solosearcher.com/mcp \
      --transport streamable-http \
      --auth oauth
  2. Start the sign-in flow:
    openclaw mcp login solosearcher
  3. Your browser opens SoloSearcher. Sign in, then choose what OpenClaw is allowed to do — read-only or read-and-write.
  4. Confirm the connection and see which tools arrived:
    openclaw mcp probe solosearcher

openclaw mcp logout solosearcher clears the token but keeps the server. Revoking in SoloSearcher does the same from this side, immediately.

API key #

For a gateway or a headless host where no browser can complete the sign-in.

  1. Create an API key in Settings → Connections → API keys and copy it right away — it is shown once.
  2. Register the server with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY:
    openclaw mcp add solosearcher \
      --url https://app.solosearcher.com/mcp \
      --transport streamable-http \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  3. Confirm the connection and see which tools arrived:
    openclaw mcp probe solosearcher

That writes the key into ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, so treat the file like a password store.

Choose what OpenClaw can do #

Every connection is scoped when you approve it. Read-only lets OpenClaw search and read your companies, notes, contacts, and financials. Read-and-write also lets it save its work — finished reports, notes, and updates land on the company record instead of staying in the chat.

A read-only connection can still run any skill; it returns the analysis to you in the conversation rather than storing it. You can revoke access at any time, and every request is recorded in the product audit trail.

First thing to try #

One prerequisite: skills stay locked until you've saved a Buyer Profile — your display name plus at least one of your background, your thesis, or a target range. Two minutes, once. See Buyer Profile for what it unlocks and exactly how to set it. Skills are scored against your criteria, which is why the profile comes first.

Then ask OpenClaw for something you actually want to know:

Run a competitive landscape review on the company I rated highest.

With read-and-write access, the result of a skill run saves onto the company record as a report — run it again later and you get a new version next to the old one. On a read-only connection the analysis comes back in the conversation instead.
