InfraNodus CLI Skill for OpenClaw

The InfraNodus skill (infranodus) is a comprehensive reference that gives OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, or any LLM client access to the full InfraNodus MCP server tool catalog via MCPorter.

It covers text network analysis, knowledge graph generation, content gap detection, SEO/GEO optimization, structured memory, text comparison, and GraphRAG retrieval. The skill accepts plain text, URLs (including YouTube video transcription), and existing InfraNodus graphs.

Install the Skill

Via OpenClaw Chat (recommended)

Run in the OpenClaw chat (replace the version number with the latest one):

install this skill to the `skills` folder: https://github.com/infranodus/skills/releases/download/v1.4.4/infranodus.zip

This may not work in a sandboxed environment, in which case you can proceed with the manual installation below.

Manual Installation

Download infranodus.zip and copy it to the OpenClaw skills folder:

cp infranodus.zip ~/.openclaw/skills/infranodus.zip
unzip ~/.openclaw/skills/infranodus.zip -d ~/.openclaw/skills/infranodus

For a specific project or workspace, copy to that project's skills folder instead. For instance, if you'd like the skill only to be available in a specific workspace:

cp infranodus.zip ~/.openclaw/workspaces/skills/infranodus.zip
unzip ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/infranodus.zip -d ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/infranodus

Setup & Authentication

The skill requires MCPorter installed and an InfraNodus API key. Two authentication options:

Option 1: API Key (recommended for headless / automated setups)

Set the environment variable directly in OpenClaw's interface: go to Settings > Skills > Worksspace Skills > and add the InfraNodus API key.

You can also add the key manually in the OpenClaw config file:

Or via OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "infranodus": {
        "enabled": true,
        "apiKey": "YOUR_INFRANODUS_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note, that this setup will only work in non-sandboxed environments. For sandboxed environment, you'll either need to provide your InfraNodus API key directly in the chat (less secure) or additionally add it to the `sandbox` environment scope in the `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` config file like this:

"sandbox": {
	"mode": "all",
	"workspaceAccess": "rw",
	"scope": "session",
	"docker": {
		"image": "openclaw-sandbox-mcporter:latest",
		"network": "bridge",
		"binds": [
			"/Users/dmt/Software/Second Brain:/mnt/Obsidian/Second Brain:rw",
			"/Users/dmt/Dropbox/Research:/mnt/Dropbox/Research:ro"
		],
		"dangerouslyAllowExternalBindSources": true,
		"env": {			
			"INFRANODUS_API_KEY": "YOUR_INFRANODUS_API_KEY"		
		}			
	}
}

OpenClaw maps apiKey to the INFRANODUS_API_KEY env var automatically. Then add the server:

mcporter config add infranodus \
  --url https://mcp.infranodus.com/ \
  --transport http \
  --header "accept=application/json, text/event-stream" \
  --header "Authorization=Bearer $INFRANODUS_API_KEY" \
  --scope home

Option 2: OAuth (interactive browser login)

# Add the server with OAuth
mcporter config add infranodus \
  --url https://mcp.infranodus.com/ \
  --transport http \
  --auth oauth \
  --header "accept=application/json, text/event-stream" \
  --scope home

# Authenticate (opens browser)
mcporter auth infranodus

To re-authenticate: mcporter auth infranodus --reset

Verify

mcporter list

Expected output:

mcporter 0.7.3 — Listing 1 server(s) (per-server timeout: 30s)
- infranodus (27 tools, 0.8s)
✔ Listed 1 server (1 healthy).

Calling Tools

Once the skill is installed, OpenClaw will automatically call the right tool based on your prompt. You can also call tools manually:

# Inline key=value arguments
mcporter call infranodus.<tool_name> key=value

# JSON arguments
mcporter call infranodus.<tool_name> --args '{"text": "...", "includeGraph": true}'

All analysis tools accept text (plain string), url (webpage or YouTube video), or graphName (existing InfraNodus graph).

Tool Catalog

Analysis & Knowledge Graphs

Ideation & Development

Memory (Knowledge Graph Memory)

Retrieval & Search

Text Comparison

All take a contexts array: [{text: "..."}, {url: "..."}, {graphName: "..."}]

SEO / GEO / LLMO

Key Patterns

• Input flexibility: most tools accept text, url (incl. YouTube), or graphName.
• Comparison tools use a contexts array of {text}, {url}, or {graphName} objects (min 2).
• Diversity stats in responses: biased (too concentrated) → focused → diversified (balanced) → dispersed (too scattered).
• Content gaps = under-connected topic clusters = opportunities for new ideas.
• Conceptual gateways = high-influence bridging nodes linking different clusters.

OpenClaw Skill Metadata

The skill registers with OpenClaw using the following metadata, which defines its dependencies and auto-install behavior:

name: infranodus
homepage: https://infranodus.com
metadata:
  openclaw:
    emoji: "🕸️"
    requires:
      bins: ["mcporter"]
      env: ["INFRANODUS_API_KEY"]
    primaryEnv: INFRANODUS_API_KEY
    install:
      - id: mcporter
        kind: node
        package: mcporter
        bins: ["mcporter"]
        label: "Install mcporter (node)"

This means OpenClaw will automatically check for mcporter and offer to install it if missing. The INFRANODUS_API_KEY environment variable is required and can be set via OpenClaw's skill settings or ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
