OpenClaw + SerpKite

The SerpKite plugin adds a serpkite provider for OpenClaw's built-in web_search tool, plus two tools: serpkite_search for Google search with filters and serpkite_webpage for any public page as Markdown.

Overview

What OpenClaw is, and where SerpKite fits

OpenClaw ships web search providers as plugins. The SerpKite plugin (@serpkite/openclaw-plugin on npm, published with provenance from SerpKite/openclaw-serpkite, MIT) registers serpkite as one of them, so web_search returns live Google results through your SerpKite key.

serpkite_search takes num up to 100, country, language, time and date ranges, and include or exclude domain lists. serpkite_webpage returns a public page or PDF as Markdown. A search is 1 credit per 10 results and a page is 1 credit; failed requests are not billed.

Setup

Set it up in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Get an API key

    Sign up (no card), create a key in the dashboard and export it as SERPKITE_API_KEY. New accounts get 2,500 free credits, then 1,000 every month.

    export SERPKITE_API_KEY=skt_live_…
  2. 2

    Install the plugin

    The npm: prefix installs from npm; without it OpenClaw looks scoped names up on ClawHub. In a noninteractive shell add --force after you have reviewed the package.

    openclaw plugins install npm:@serpkite/openclaw-plugin
  3. 3

    Select SerpKite for web_search

    Set the provider from the CLI or with openclaw configure --section web. The key comes from SERPKITE_API_KEY in the Gateway environment, or from plugins.entries.serpkite.config.webSearch.apiKey (SecretRefs work).

    openclaw config set tools.web.search.provider serpkite

Code

Config file

The same setup in the OpenClaw config:

openclaw.json 
{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      serpkite: {
        enabled: true,
        config: { webSearch: { apiKey: "skt_live_…" } }, // optional if SERPKITE_API_KEY is set
      },
    },
  },
