SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mcp-remote.

What problem does it solve?

NanoClaw agent groups on non-Claude providers lack built-in web search and URL extraction tools, and setting up a remote MCP server manually involves image rebuilds, per-group registration, and credential handling that is easy to get wrong.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keyless MCP registration: Installs the pinned mcp-remote bridge in the agent container image and registers Tavily's remote MCP server per group, exposing tavily_search and tavily_extract without an API key.
  • Dependency guard and verification: Copies a vitest manifest test into the host tree, rebuilds the image, and verifies the stored group configuration and a live search call.
  • Upgrade path for rate limits: Writes standing instructions into each group's instructions.prepend.md so the agent offers a OneCLI vault-based API key upgrade when the shared keyless allowance returns 429.
  • Use Case: An operator running NanoClaw agents on OpenCode or Codex wants web search; this skill registers Tavily for the selected groups, restarts them, and confirms a live search succeeds.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to add Tavily web search and URL extraction to your selected NanoClaw agent groups using the add-tavily-tool skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about add-tavily-tool

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Tavily web search to NanoClaw agent groups?▼

Add the pinned mcp-remote entry to container/cli-tools.json, rebuild the image, then run ncl groups config add-mcp-server with the tavily name and keyless header for each group. Restart each group and verify with a live tavily_search call.

Does Tavily MCP require an API key for NanoClaw agents?▼

No, the registration uses the X-Tavily-Access-Mode:keyless header, which enables Tavily's IP-based free allowance shared across groups on the host. When that allowance is exhausted, a paid key can be stored in the OneCLI vault without the agent ever seeing it.

Which Tavily tools are exposed through the MCP server?▼

Only tavily_search and tavily_extract are exposed. The registration passes --ignore-tool flags for tavily_crawl, tavily_map, and tavily_research, so those tools never appear in the Tavily namespace.

Why do I get command not found: mcp-remote after registering Tavily?▼

The mcp-remote bridge is missing from the agent container image. Rebuild the image with ./container/build.sh after adding the manifest entry, then restart the affected group so it picks up the new binary.

What happens when the Tavily keyless allowance runs out?▼

Tavily returns HTTP 429 or monthly_cap_reached_bonus_eligible. If the Phase 5 upgrade block is installed, the agent offers a OneCLI dashboard deeplink where the user saves a free API key, then re-registers the server without the keyless header.
