Intel — AI Web Search via x402
Install
npx -y -p intel-asrai-mcp install-skill
Auto-detects OpenClaw, Cursor, Cline, and other agents. Then set your key:
INTEL_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your_private_key> # add to ~/.env
For MCP agents (Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop) also add to config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"intel-search": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "intel-asrai-mcp"] }
}
}
Use Intel search when the user asks about current events, recent news, live prices, or anything requiring up-to-date information beyond your training data.
When to search
- Current events, breaking news, recent developments → search
- Live prices, scores, real-time data → search
- Research needing latest sources → search
- General knowledge you already know well → do NOT search (costs $0.005 USDC each time)
How to search
If intel_search tool is available (MCP connected)
intel_search(query, mode, sources)
If no MCP tool — use bash (OpenClaw and other agents)
npx -y -p intel-asrai-mcp intel-search "<query>" <mode> <sources>
Examples:
npx -y -p intel-asrai-mcp intel-search "bitcoin price today" speed web
npx -y -p intel-asrai-mcp intel-search "latest AI research" quality academic
npx -y -p intel-asrai-mcp intel-search "what people think about X" balanced discussions
