OpenClaw — Remote URL (recommended)

openclaw config set mcpServers.intel-search.url "https://intel-mcp.asrai.me/mcp?key=0x<your_private_key>"

OpenClaw — Local npx

openclaw config set mcpServers.intel-search.command "npx"
openclaw config set mcpServers.intel-search.args '["-y", "intel-asrai-mcp"]'
openclaw config set mcpServers.intel-search.env.INTEL_PRIVATE_KEY "0x<your_private_key>"

Claude Desktop — JSON config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intel-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "intel-asrai-mcp"],
      "env": { "INTEL_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your_private_key>" }
    }
  }
}

Config file location: macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json, Linux ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

n8n / remote connections

• HTTP Streamable: https://intel-mcp.asrai.me/mcp?key=0x<your_private_key>
• SSE (legacy): https://intel-mcp.asrai.me/sse?key=0x<your_private_key>

Key via environment variable

Store in ~/.env and omit from URL/config:

INTEL_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your_private_key>

Each search costs $0.005 USDC from your wallet on Base mainnet.

Payment transparency

• Always inform the user of the cost if they ask.
• Payments are signed by the user's own wallet — never a shared key.
• Wallet must have USDC on Base mainnet.

MCP tools available

Tool	What it does	Cost
intel_search	AI web search — synthesized answer with cited sources	$0.005

Tool parameters

intel_search(
  query:   string,                              // the search query or question
  mode:    "speed" | "balanced" | "quality",    // default: balanced
  sources: ("web" | "academic" | "discussions")[] // default: ["web"]
)

Output rules

• Present the synthesized answer directly — do not show raw JSON.
• Always include sources as a numbered or bulleted list with clickable links.
• If the user asks a factual question, lead with the direct answer, then supporting detail.
• For news queries, summarize key developments first, then cite sources.
• Never mention tool names or API calls in responses.
• Keep responses concise — synthesize, don't dump.

Usage patterns

• Current events: "What happened with X today?" → intel_search(query, mode="speed")
• Research: "Explain the latest research on X" → intel_search(query, mode="quality", sources=["academic"])
• Community sentiment: "What are people saying about X?" → intel_search(query, sources=["discussions"])
