OpenClaw is one way to run Gina tools and skills. The current research bundle comes from askgina/plugins, not the older venue-specific skill bodies previously published in these docs.

​
Connect MCP

In an OpenClaw version with native MCP support:
  1. Open Settings → MCP → Add server.
  2. Name the server ask-gina, choose Streamable HTTP, and enter https://askgina.ai/ai/gina/mcp.
  3. Configure OAuth in the server’s scoped settings and save the server.
  4. Authenticate and probe the connection:
Follow OpenClaw’s MCP guide for version-specific settings. If your client uses Bearer authentication, generate a read-only token using Gina Agent Setup and store it in the client’s private server configuration. Do not paste a token into a skill file.

​
Load the research skills

Clone the source repository and copy the desired complete directories from plugins/ask-gina/skills/ into your workspace .agents/skills/. Alternatively, configure skills.load.extraDirs with the absolute path to the checked-out Gina skills directory. Start a new session and confirm the selected skills are available. See OpenClaw skill loading and Gina’s skill catalog. Skills and MCP authentication are separate: verify both. Legacy ClawHub venue skills may use execution endpoints. They are not interchangeable with the current four read-only research skills. For execution, follow the venue’s current guide rather than an old copied skill body.

​
Verify your first result

Ask “Use Gina to show ETH in USD over the past seven days.” Confirm a Gina tool ran and the response identifies ETH and the requested period. Follow First successful request for the expected tool boundary and recovery steps. This connection is read-only. For trading or transfers, see Write access (Degen mode). A direct connection does not automatically install research skills.
