OpenClaw + GoldRush

By OpenClaw Foundation. Runs in Terminal, Standalone.

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI agent that runs on your own devices with full autonomy. It integrates with messaging platforms, supports MCP, and can write its own skills to extend its capabilities. With GoldRush integration, OpenClaw can autonomously monitor wallets, track portfolio changes, and build blockchain data workflows that run on a schedule.

Step 1: Install OpenClaw

npm install -g openclaw@latest

Set up OpenClaw with GoldRush

  1. 1Install OpenClaw

    npm install -g openclaw@latest

  2. 2Install GoldRush CLI

    Query onchain data directly from your terminal, useful for testing queries before using them in OpenClaw.

    npm install -g @covalenthq/goldrush-cli

  3. 3Onboard and start OpenClaw

    Follow the setup wizard to configure your LLM provider and messaging channels.

    openclaw onboard --install-daemon

  4. 4Add GoldRush MCP server

    Configure the GoldRush MCP Server in your OpenClaw MCP registry settings.

  5. 5Start using GoldRush

    Ask: "Get the token balances for vitalik.eth on Ethereum and summarize the portfolio"

Things to ask OpenClaw

Once GoldRush is connected, ask in plain words. OpenClaw picks the calls.

  • “Get the token balances for this wallet on Ethereum”
  • “Set up a cron job to check wallet balances every hour”
  • “Monitor this address for large token transfers and notify me”
  • “Build a skill that fetches DEX trading volume daily”
  • “Analyze the NFT holdings for this wallet across chains”
  • “Create a webhook that triggers when a new DEX pair is created”
  • “Write a skill to track portfolio value changes over time”
  • “Fetch historical token prices for WETH over the last 30 days”

Common workflows

  • Automated wallet monitoring

    1. Ask OpenClaw to create a wallet monitoring skill
    2. It writes a skill that calls GoldRush APIs on a cron schedule
    3. Configure notifications via Telegram, Discord, or Slack
    4. OpenClaw runs the skill autonomously and alerts on changes

  • Portfolio tracking bot

    1. Request a portfolio tracker for multiple wallets
    2. OpenClaw creates a skill using GoldRush balance and pricing APIs
    3. Set up daily summary reports via your messaging platform
    4. The bot tracks value changes and highlights significant movements

  • Build a custom blockchain skill

    1. Describe the blockchain data task you need automated
    2. OpenClaw writes a new skill using GoldRush SDK
    3. Test the skill interactively through chat
    4. Deploy it as a scheduled or webhook-triggered automation

  • DEX activity alerts

    1. Ask OpenClaw to monitor DEX activity on specific chains
    2. It builds a skill that queries GoldRush for new pairs and volume
    3. Configure alert thresholds and notification channels
    4. Receive real-time alerts when conditions are met

GoldRush Agent Skills

Agent Skills give your agent the context it needs for every GoldRush endpoint: parameters, response shapes and credit costs. One command installs all of them.

Tips

  • OpenClaw can write its own skills, so ask it to build GoldRush integrations as reusable skills
  • Use cron jobs for regular blockchain data checks like balance monitoring
  • Configure multiple messaging channels to receive alerts where you prefer
  • Start with simple queries before building complex automated workflows

Troubleshooting

MCP Server not connecting
Check your MCP registry configuration in OpenClaw settings. Ensure Node.js 22+ is installed and the GoldRush MCP Server can be reached.
Skills failing to execute
Review the skill code OpenClaw generated. Ensure your GOLDRUSH_API_KEY environment variable is set. Check the OpenClaw logs for detailed error messages.
Cron jobs not triggering
Verify the OpenClaw daemon is running with 'openclaw onboard --install-daemon'. Check that the cron expression is valid and the skill is properly registered.
