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:
{
"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.

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
