search_mcp_servers
Search Remote OpenClaw's directory of 13,870+ MCP servers for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, and Cursor. Returns names, descriptions, links, and popularity.
LABSCO SUMMARY
It answers what exists across servers, skills and plugins, and only search_skills hands back something you can run afterwards.
The directories are queried identically — a query string and a limit — but they return different things. search_skills includes install commands, so that path ends in an action; search_mcp_servers returns popularity and search_plugins returns links, so those end in a decision you still have to act on elsewhere. Nothing in this server installs what it finds, which makes it a lookup you can call speculatively without consequence.
What it is
A search front end to Remote OpenClaw's directories, with separate tools for MCP servers, agent skills and plugins.
What you get
- MCP server lookup: search_mcp_servers queries a directory the vendor describes as 13,870+ servers for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex and Cursor, and returns names, descriptions, links and popularity.
- Skill lookup: search_skills queries a directory the vendor describes as 4,384+ agent skills for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes and Codex, and returns install commands alongside names, descriptions and links.
- Plugin lookup: search_plugins covers Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes and Codex plugins, returning names, descriptions and links.
- Bounded results: search_mcp_servers, search_skills and search_plugins take a query and a limit, so a search can be capped before the results come back.
Requirements
No credentials are configured on the server.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y remoteopenclaw
USE CASES
01
Finding an MCP server for a capability you are missing
Search the server directory by what the capability is called, and use the popularity signal to narrow a long result list.
02
Picking up a ready-made skill instead of writing one
Search the skills directory for the workflow you were about to build, and take the install command back with the result.
03
Checking whether a plugin already covers what you were going to script
Search the plugin directory across the clients you support before committing to a custom build.
3 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.

search_skills
Search Remote OpenClaw's directory of 4,384+ agent skills for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Codex. Returns names, descriptions, links, and install commands.
