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

Requires INTEL_PRIVATE_KEY set in ~/.env or environment. Payment ($0.005 USDC) is signed automatically.

Parameters

• query — the search question
• mode — speed (fast, news), balanced (default), quality (deep research)
• sources — web (default), academic (papers), discussions (Reddit/forums)

Output rules

• Lead with the synthesized answer — no preamble
• List sources as numbered links after the answer
• For factual questions: direct answer first, then detail
• For news: key developments first, then sources
• Never mention tool names, API calls, or payment details in responses
• Keep it concise — synthesize, don't dump

Cost

$0.005 USDC per search, signed from the user's own wallet on Base mainnet. Tell the user if they ask.
