Metaso Search

What This Skill Does

Metaso Search is a powerful AI-driven search engine integration designed specifically for the OpenClaw AI agent. Developed by qiuxinyuan321, this skill leverages the Metaso (秘塔AI) search API to provide highly accurate, intent-aware, and structured search results. Unlike traditional search engines, it excels at understanding complex Chinese natural language queries, filtering through noise to provide deep, analytical responses. The skill acts as an intelligent bridge, allowing your OpenClaw agent to access live, real-world data while ensuring the responses are concise, relevant, and free from advertising clutter. Whether you are conducting academic research, seeking explanations for technical concepts, or gathering comprehensive reports, this skill ensures the information retrieved is structured and ready for immediate consumption.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your local OpenClaw environment, ensure you have PowerShell 5.1 or higher installed. You can install the skill by running the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/qiuxinyuan321/metaso-search

Once installed, you must configure your API credentials. Navigate to the Metaso official website to obtain your API Key, then store it securely using an environment variable ($env:METASO_API_KEY = "your_api_key_here") or add it to the recommended secrets/key存储文档.txt file. This ensures the agent has the necessary permissions to interface with the Metaso search servers securely.

Use Cases

• Chinese Knowledge Retrieval: Perfect for queries where cultural context and precise Chinese phrasing are required.
• Market Research: Quickly gather structured information on industry trends, competitors, or specific product features.
• Technical Synthesis: Use the agent to summarize complex documentation or explain abstract technical concepts into digestible insights.
• Information Aggregation: Automatically compile research summaries from multiple web pages into a single, cohesive answer.

Example Prompts

1. "Use Metaso Search to research the current state of renewable energy policies in China and provide a summary of the top three trends."
2. "Explain the concept of quantum computing as if I were a developer, using the latest sources found via the Metaso API."
3. "Search for the latest 2026 advancements in neural network architectures and list the key takeaways in a JSON format."

Tips & Limitations

• Tips: For best results, use the -Json flag if you intend to pipe the output into other scripts or automated workflows. Utilize the -Size parameter to fine-tune how much data the agent retrieves for deep dives.
• Limitations: This skill relies on an external API connection; therefore, it requires an active internet connection and a valid API key with sufficient credits. It is optimized for Chinese-language environments and may perform differently if queried exclusively in other languages. Ensure your API key is managed securely and never commit your secret files to public repositories.
