OpenClaw Integration Guide

Overview

OpenClaw is an AI assistant that can load external tools. Connecting Orbyt gives OpenClaw direct access to your job pipeline, contacts, calendar, and suggestions.

One honest clarification before the steps. The URL you paste below, https://www.orbytjobs.ai/mcp.json, is a static REST tool manifest: a JSON file describing 29 REST endpoints. It is not a live JSON-RPC MCP server. OpenClaw's manifest-based server support reads it. If your client requires a real MCP server (the JSON-RPC kind that Claude Desktop speaks), Orbyt has one for salary intelligence at https://www.orbytjobs.ai/api/v1/intelligence/mcp; it negotiates official MCP protocol versions and requires an Intelligence key on the Pro plan or higher. See the Claude Desktop guide for that config.

What You Need

• Orbyt Ultra plan
• OpenClaw installed
• An Orbyt API key from Settings > Account > API Keys

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Open Orbyt > Settings > Account
2. Scroll to API Keys
3. Click Create API Key
4. Name it "OpenClaw"
5. Copy the token (starts with ext_)

Step 2: Add Orbyt to OpenClaw

1. Open OpenClaw Settings
2. Go to the MCP Servers section
3. Click Add Server
4. Enter these details:

- Name: Orbyt

- URL: https://www.orbytjobs.ai/mcp.json

- Auth Header: Bearer ext_your_token_here

1. Click Save

That's it. OpenClaw will load all 29 Orbyt tools automatically: 22 job-search pipeline tools plus 7 salary intelligence lookups. The 7 salary tools call the Orbyt Intelligence REST API and need an intelligence_ key (the free tier covers them, no card required); your ext_ token covers the 22 pipeline tools.

Step 3: Try It

Ask OpenClaw:

• "What's in my job pipeline?"
• "Add a Senior Engineer role at Figma to my pipeline"
• "What should I follow up on this week?"
• "Show me my contacts at Stripe"
• "Log a phone screen with Linear today"

What OpenClaw Can Do With Orbyt

Troubleshooting

Orbyt doesn't appear in OpenClaw:

• Double-check the URL is exactly https://www.orbytjobs.ai/mcp.json
• Make sure your token starts with ext_
• Restart OpenClaw

Getting errors:

• 401: Your API key is wrong or revoked. Generate a new one.
• 403: Your Orbyt plan needs to be Ultra.
• 429: You hit the rate limit. Wait a minute and try again.
