What This Skill Does

The lokuli-booking skill serves as a powerful bridge between OpenClaw and the Lokuli MCP server, enabling direct interaction with real-world local service providers. It simplifies the discovery, availability checking, and booking process for over 75 service categories including home maintenance, beauty, automotive, and wellness. The skill manages the lifecycle of a booking, from searching for highly-rated local professionals in a specific ZIP code to generating secure Stripe payment links. By leveraging the Lokuli MCP, the agent acts as a virtual concierge, handling the manual lookup and coordination tasks that users typically perform through multiple browser tabs or apps, all while maintaining a structured JSON-RPC interface.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw Hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edwardrodriguez703-design/book-local Ensure that your OpenClaw agent instance has proper permissions to access external MCP servers, specifically connecting to https://lokuli.com/mcp/sse as the host endpoint.

Use Cases

• Home Maintenance: Find and schedule vetted plumbers or electricians for emergency home repairs.
• Automotive: Quickly locate shops that perform essential vehicle maintenance like smog checks or tire rotations in your immediate area.
• Personal Wellness: Book recurring appointments for personal trainers, massage therapy, or barbershops without navigating complex web forms.
• Pricing Research: Utilize the get_pricing_estimates tool to ensure you are paying market rates before finalizing a service booking.

Example Prompts

1. "I need a plumber in 90640. Can you search for available professionals and let me know their pricing?"
2. "Find me a nearby place for a smog check on Saturday morning and book the first available slot."
3. "I have an appointment for a massage later this week; can you check the status of my booking using my confirmation ID?"

Tips & Limitations

• ZIP Code Accuracy: Always provide a specific ZIP code to ensure the search and validate_location tools return relevant, serviceable results.
• Payment Security: The create_booking tool provides a secure Stripe payment link. Never share sensitive banking or PII data directly in the chat; only follow the URLs provided by the MCP server.
• Scope: The skill is limited to the categories defined in the Lokuli catalog. Use get_service_catalog to confirm if a specific niche service is supported before attempting a search.
