5 AgentPatch Tools Every OpenClaw Setup Needs

OpenClaw is most useful when it can actually look things up, not just work from training data. AgentPatch gives it that ability through a single MCP connection. If you’re running OpenClaw and haven’t connected it yet, here are five tools worth having.

Setup

Add AgentPatch to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "agentpatch": {
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "url": "https://agentpatch.ai/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key from the AgentPatch dashboard. Restart OpenClaw and it discovers all AgentPatch tools automatically.

The Five Tools

1. Google Search (50 credits/call) The most broadly useful tool. Your bot can look up anything current — news, prices, documentation, answers to one-off questions — without being limited to training data. Ask it something time-sensitive and it searches instead of guessing.

Details: agentpatch.ai/tools/thomas/google-search

2. Google Maps (75 credits/call) For any question involving places or local businesses. “What’s open for dinner near me?” or “Find a hardware store in this zip code” — the bot searches Maps and returns real results with ratings and hours.

3. Google News (75 credits/call) Recent news on any topic. Useful when someone asks about something that happened recently and the bot needs current context rather than general background.

4. Generate Image (800 credits/call) The bot can generate images directly from a text description using Recraft. Useful for quick visual requests: mockups, illustrations, header images, creative prompts. The image comes back in the chat.

5. Email - Send (100 credits/call) Your bot can send emails on your behalf. Useful for drafting and sending follow-ups, notifications, or outreach directly from chat without switching to an email client.

Details: agentpatch.ai/tools/agentpatch/send-email

Example

The combination of these tools means your bot can handle multi-step requests naturally. Message it on Telegram:

“Look up what’s trending in electric vehicles, find the top-rated EV dealership near me, and email me a quick summary.”

The bot searches Google Trends, looks up Maps results, and sends the summary to your inbox — three tools, one message, no manual steps.

Wrapping Up

These five tools cover most of what makes an OpenClaw bot useful day-to-day. Connect AgentPatch once and you get all of them — plus everything else on the marketplace. See the full list at agentpatch.ai.
