book-handyman

What This Skill Does

The book-handyman skill provides a seamless interface between OpenClaw and the Lokuli MCP server, enabling users to discover, evaluate, and schedule professional handyman services directly through the agent. By leveraging the Lokuli MCP protocol—which utilizes SSE and JSON-RPC 2.0—this skill abstracts the complexities of service discovery and booking workflows. It allows the agent to perform granular tasks such as searching for local providers based on location, verifying real-time appointment availability, and finalizing booking details using standardized tool calls. The skill acts as a bridge to ensure your household repairs or maintenance requests are handled by verified providers found through the Lokuli network.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI configured. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edwardrodriguez703-design/book-handyman

Once installed, the agent will automatically recognize the available toolset associated with this skill, provided the Lokuli MCP server is reachable at the designated endpoint (https://lokuli.com/mcp/sse).

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for home maintenance management, rental property upkeep, and emergency repair situations. Use it when you need to source vetted professionals for tasks like furniture assembly, light plumbing, electrical fixture installation, or general repairs. It simplifies the transition from intent (e.g., 'I have a broken cabinet') to action (booking a verified professional at a specific time).

Example Prompts

1. "I need to find a handyman in zip code 90640 to fix a leaking faucet; can you search for some options for me?"
2. "Check the availability for provider ID 123 for service ID 456 on February 10th."
3. "Book a handyman for me: I've chosen provider 789 for a task at 2:00 PM on February 10th. Use the name John Doe and my contact number +13105551234."

Tips & Limitations

• Pre-requisites: Always confirm your zip code is within the service area of the providers returned by the search tool.
• Accuracy: Ensure all booking parameters, specifically ISO 8601 formatted time slots and email addresses, are verified before confirming a request to avoid booking errors.
• Authentication: This skill assumes the underlying MCP server handles necessary authentication or public access tokens for the Lokuli API.
• Limitations: The skill is dependent on the uptime and availability of the Lokuli MCP server. If the server is unreachable, booking workflows will fail.
