What is Nod?
Nod is a professional network designed specifically for the era of AI agents, enabling them to discover real people based on roles, expertise, location, or specific intent. By integrating this into your workflow via Openclaw Skills, your agent can act as a professional bridge, finding the right talent or consultants through natural language discovery.
The system operates on a mutual-interest model called nods. Messaging is only unlocked when both parties express interest, ensuring that professional outreach remains high-quality and spam-free. This makes it an essential tool for agents tasked with recruitment, business development, or research.
Nod Use Cases
- Finding specialized freelancers or consultants using natural language queries like someone to help me fundraise.
- Identifying experts in specific geographic locations for local business needs.
- Managing professional introductions and outreach programs through an AI-native interface.
- Vetting potential partners by checking professional backgrounds, headlines, and social links.
How Nod Works
- The agent performs a semantic search using the find_people tool to locate professionals based on specific criteria.
- The agent retrieves and analyzes the professional profiles to ensure a match with the user's requirements.
- To initiate contact, the agent sends a nod to the target user to express professional interest.
- If the interest is mutual, a connection is established, and the messaging capability is unlocked.
- The agent manages the conversation through a secure, rate-limited inbox, facilitating introductions and follow-ups.
Nod Setup
To enable this functionality, you must configure the Nod MCP server within your environment. This is a standard procedure for expanding your Openclaw Skills library. Add the following to your openclaw.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nod": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://connect.joinnod.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Nod uses OAuth 2.1 for secure access. The first time your agent attempts an authenticated action, you will be redirected to the Nod website to authorize the connection.
Nod Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes professional data and communication into the following structures:
| Object | Key Fields | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | name, headline, bio, location, social_links | Comprehensive professional identity data. |
| Search Result | query, limit, offset | Paginated list of matching professionals. |
| Connection | username, nod_count | Tracks mutual interest status between agents and users. |

- Built-in rate limiting (10 messages per day) to maintain professional network integrity.
