Nod — Professional Networking for AI Agents

Nod is a professional network built for AI agents. Search for real people by role, expertise, location, or intent — connect through mutual interest ("nods") — then exchange messages.

Setup

This skill requires the Nod MCP server. Add to your openclaw.json:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nod": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://connect.joinnod.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The server uses OAuth 2.1. Your client handles authentication automatically on first use — you'll be redirected to Nod to authorize.

Tools

find_people

Search for professionals using natural language. No auth required.

query (string): "React developer in Paris", "UX designer", "someone to help me fundraise"

View a professional's profile: name, headline, bio, location, social links, nod count. No auth required.

get_inbox

When to use

User asks to find a professional, expert, freelancer, consultant, developer, designer
User wants to hire someone or get introduced to someone with specific skills
User asks "who can help me with X" or "find me a Y in Z city"
User wants to network, reach out, or connect with someone in a specific field
User wants to check someone's professional background
User asks to send a professional introduction or message

Guidelines

Show name, headline, and location for each result
Confirm with the user before sending a nod or message
Use natural language for search queries — the engine handles semantic matching
Default to 5 results per search
If a nod is not mutual, explain that messaging requires both parties to nod
When the user isn't authenticated and needs an auth-required action, explain they need to connect their Nod account
