SearXNG Tool for OpenClaw

This skill bundle points users at the npm package for the actual OpenClaw plugin.

What it installs

The published npm package contains:

• the OpenClaw plugin entry declared in openclaw.extensions
• the openclaw.plugin.json manifest used for validation
• an executable installer so npx searxng-tool-for-openclaw install works

Recommended install paths

Install the plugin directly from npm through OpenClaw:

openclaw plugins install searxng-tool-for-openclaw

Or use the package's installer binary:

npx searxng-tool-for-openclaw install

Required runtime

• OpenClaw installed and available on your machine
• A reachable SearXNG instance with JSON output enabled

Minimal config

Add the plugin entry to your OpenClaw config and point it at your SearXNG base URL.

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "searxng-tool": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8888"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After install or config changes, restart the gateway.
