Contextual AI Plugin for OpenClaw

Connect OpenClaw to Contextual AI agents: list your agents and let the LLM route user questions to the right agent.

Install

openclaw plugins install openclaw-contextualai

Restart OpenClaw after installing.

Configuration

The only required value is your Contextual AI API key. Get one at app.contextual.ai (API Keys in the dashboard).

Option A – Environment variable:

export OPENCLAW_CONTEXTUALAI_API_KEY="your-contextual-ai-api-key"

Option B – In openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "openclaw-contextualai": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "apiKey": "your-contextual-ai-api-key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

How to use

In any channel where OpenClaw is running:

• List your agents – e.g. “What Contextual AI agents do I have?” or “List my Contextual AI agents.”
• Query an agent – e.g. “Ask the Materials Science Agent: What materials are best for high-temperature aerospace?”

The model will list your agents, then send your question to the right one and reply with the agent’s answer.

AI Tools

The AI can use these tools during conversations:

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | contextualai_list_agents | List available Contextual AI agents (id, name, description). | | contextualai_query_agent | Send a message to a specific agent by id and return its response. |

Optional config

| Key | Type | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | baseUrl| string | https://api.contextual.ai | API base URL. | | debug | boolean | false | Log request URL and response status. |

Env vars: OPENCLAW_CONTEXTUALAI_BASE_URL, OPENCLAW_CONTEXTUALAI_API_KEY (or set apiKey in config).
