Liner MCP — OpenClaw bundle

Adds Liner's search tools to OpenClaw via MCP. Install once and every Liner tool (web search, scholar search, AI search, quick answer, deep research) becomes available to OpenClaw agents — no per-tool setup.

This is an OpenClaw bundle (Claude-format) that ships a single .mcp.json pointing at Liner's hosted MCP server (https://platform.liner.com/api/v1/mcp).

Tools

| Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | liner__search_web | Web search — title, URL, snippet for general grounding | | liner__search_scholar | Academic / scholarly search with citations | | liner__ai_search / liner__ai_search_pro | Source-grounded AI answers (streamed) | | liner__quick_answer | Fast direct answer | | liner__deep_research / liner__deep_research_pro | Multi-step research reports |

> OpenClaw exposes bundle MCP tools as liner__<tool>.

Setup

<b>1. Get an API key</b> — sign up at platform.liner.com (new accounts include free credits). Then set it in the Gateway environment:

export LINER_API_KEY=sk_live_...
# gateway install: add it to ~/.openclaw/.env

<b>2. Install the bundle</b>:

openclaw plugins install <path-or-archive-or-clawhub-spec>
openclaw gateway restart

<b>3. Verify</b>:

openclaw plugins inspect liner-mcp     # shows the mapped MCP tools

The liner MCP server authenticates with your LINER_API_KEY via the

Authorization: Bearer header (interpolated from the env var at connect time).

Alternative: OAuth login (no key paste)

Liner's MCP server also supports OAuth 2.1, so users can log in via the browser instead of pasting a key. Configure it directly:

openclaw mcp set liner '{"url":"https://platform.liner.com/api/v1/mcp","auth":"oauth"}'
openclaw mcp login liner    # prints an authorization URL; approve, then rerun with --code

Use in other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …)

The same server works anywhere MCP is supported. Generic client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "liner": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://platform.liner.com/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Notes & verification

• Endpoint, auth (static Bearer sk_...), and tools/list are verified against

the live server.

• Bundle MCP tools are included in the coding and messaging tool profiles by

default; opt out with tools.deny: ["bundle-mcp"].

• Confirm the bundle install path / ClawHub distribution for your org before

publishing (bundles install from a directory, archive, or marketplace).
