OpenClaw JSON Toolkit

Enterprise-grade JSON processing suite — format, validate, deep-diff, JSONPath query, structural transform, and schema generation in one MCP server. Use when: (1) user says 'format this JSON' or 'pretty print this', (2) user asks 'validate my JSON' or 'is this valid JSON', (3) user needs to 'compare two JSON objects' or 'diff these configs', (4) user wants to 'query nested JSON' or 'extract with JSONPath', (5) user requests 'flatten JSON' or 'generate JSON Schema'. Supports draft-07 schema, recursive flatten, wildcard queries, filter expressions, array slicing. Zero install, sub-100ms on Cloudflare Workers. Free + Pro $9/mo.

OpenClaw JSON Toolkit v2.0

The Swiss Army knife for JSON — 6 tools, zero install, instant results.

Quick Reference

Situation	Action	Tool
Messy single-line JSON from an API	Pretty-print with 2-space indent	json_format
Need to minify for production	Compress to single line	json_format (minify)
Pasted JSON won't parse	Find exact error line + column	json_validate
Two config files changed	See added/removed/changed paths	json_diff
Need one field from 500-line JSON	Query with JSONPath expression	json_query
Deeply nested keys hard to access	Flatten to dot-notation	json_transform
Building an API contract	Auto-generate draft-07 schema	json_schema_generate

What's New in v2.0

• :zap: CloudEdge Protocol -- All processing runs on Cloudflare's global edge network. Sub-100ms response worldwide, zero cold starts.
• :mag: DeepQuery Engine -- Full JSONPath with deep scan (..), wildcards (*), filter expressions (?(@.price < 10)), and array slicing ([0:5]).
• :shield: Schema Draft-07 Intelligence -- Auto-detects semantic formats: email, URI, date-time, IPv4, UUID. Infers required fields and enum candidates from sample data.
• :arrows_counterclockwise: StructureMorph Transform -- Recursive flatten/unflatten, key renaming with mapping objects, pick/omit projections on arbitrarily nested JSON.

MCP Quick Start

json

{
  "openclaw-json": {
    "type": "streamable-http",
    "url": "https://json-toolkit-mcp.yagami8095.workers.dev/mcp"
  }
}

Add to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client. No API key needed for Free tier. Works immediately.

Detection Triggers

This skill activates when you say:

• "format this JSON" / "pretty print this" / "indent this JSON"
• "validate my JSON" / "is this valid JSON" / "why won't this parse"
• "compare these two JSON" / "diff these objects" / "what changed between these configs"
• "query this JSON" / "extract from JSON" / "JSONPath" / "get the nested value"
• "flatten this JSON" / "restructure this" / "rename these keys" / "unflatten"
• "generate a schema" / "create JSON Schema" / "schema from this sample"

Tools (6)

json_format -- Pretty-Print & Minify (CloudEdge Protocol)

Format any JSON string with configurable indentation or compress to a single line for production payloads.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
json	string	required	Raw JSON string to format
indent	number	2	Spaces per indent level (0-8)
minify	boolean	false	Compress to single line, strip whitespace

Output: Formatted JSON string + byte count (before/after) + compression ratio when minifying.

WRONG vs RIGHT

WRONG -- Manually adding spaces to JSON in a text editor:

text

User: Can you add proper indentation to this JSON?
Agent: *manually edits text, misses nested arrays, breaks trailing commas*

RIGHT -- Use json_format:

text

User: Format this JSON
Agent: calls json_format → returns perfectly indented JSON with byte count in 12ms

---

json_validate -- Validation with Diagnostics

Validate JSON syntax and get structural metadata on success, or precise error location on failure.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
json	string	required	JSON string to validate

On success: { valid: true, type: "object"|"array", keyCount, depth, byteSize } On failure: { valid: false, error: "message", line: 3, column: 15, context: "near '...'" }

WRONG vs RIGHT

WRONG -- Guessing where the JSON error is:

text

User: Why won't this JSON parse?
Agent: *scans visually, says "maybe line 12?"* — misses the real error on line 47

RIGHT -- Use json_validate:

text

User: Why won't this JSON parse?
Agent: calls json_validate → "Unexpected token at line 47, column 23: trailing comma after last element"

---

json_diff -- Structural Comparison (DeepDiff Protocol)

Compare two JSON values and get a complete structural diff showing every added, removed, and changed path.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
left	string	required	First JSON (the "before")
right	string	required	Second JSON (the "after")

Output: { added: [...paths], removed: [...paths], changed: [{ path, from, to }], totalChanges }. Every changed value shows the exact before/after values at that path.

• Use for: API response comparison, config drift detection, schema evolution tracking, deployment validation.

---

json_query -- JSONPath Extraction (DeepQuery Engine)

Query JSON with full JSONPath support including dot notation, bracket notation, wildcards, deep scan, array slicing, and filter expressions.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
json	string	required	JSON data to query
path	string	required	JSONPath expression

Supported syntax:

• $.store.book[0].title -- direct path
• $.store.book[*].author -- wildcard
• $..price -- recursive deep scan
• $.store.book[0:3] -- array slicing
• $.store.book[?(@.price < 10)] -- filter expression

Output: Array of matched values with their resolved paths.

---

json_transform -- Structural Operations (StructureMorph)

Perform structural transformations: flatten nested JSON to dot-notation keys, unflatten back, pick/omit specific keys, or rename keys with a mapping object.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
json	string	required	JSON to transform
operation	string	required	flatten, unflatten, pick, omit, rename
options	object	{}	Operation-specific: keys[] for pick/omit, mapping{} for rename

Output: Transformed JSON with operation summary (keys affected, depth change).

---

json_schema_generate -- Schema from Samples (Schema Intelligence)

Generate a complete JSON Schema (draft-07) from any JSON value. Auto-infers types, detects semantic formats, determines required fields, and identifies enum candidates.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
json	string	required	Sample JSON value

Auto-detected formats: email, uri, date-time, ipv4, ipv6, uuid, hostname. Output: Complete JSON Schema with $schema, type, properties, required, format annotations, and description placeholders.

What NOT to Do

Don't	Why	Do Instead
Send binary data (BSON, MessagePack, Protobuf)	Text JSON only	Decode to JSON string first
Send JSON over 1MB	Edge workers have memory limits	Split into chunks, process each
Expect streaming output	Each call returns complete results	Use for bounded payloads
Use as a database	Tools are stateless	Store results client-side
Send JSON with JS comments	Strict JSON spec only	Strip comments before sending

Security & Privacy

What	Status
Reads your JSON input	Yes -- for processing only
Stores your data	No -- zero persistence, stateless edge processing
Sends data to third parties	No -- processed entirely on Cloudflare Workers
Logs request content	No -- only anonymous usage counters
Requires authentication	Free tier: no. Pro: API key header only
