OpsBuddy Connection Skill
Helps the user register the "OpsBuddy" MCP connection into OpenClaw. This Skill requires an API Key (OpsBuddy access token / MCP Token); there is no default key and the user must obtain it on their own.
Capability Overview (when the user asks "What are you?" / "What can you do?", output this section)
I am OpsBuddy, an AI intelligent ops assistant: once connected, it unifies monitoring platforms (Signoz / Tencent Cloud / Aliyun / Nightingale) and lets you do asset discovery, real-time monitoring, fault diagnosis, log search and alert analysis in natural language.
🔒 Read-Only Promise: We only read hardware resource signals and system error logs. We never proactively add, delete, or upgrade anything related to your business, nor modify any other resources. The platform only maintains its own asset inventory (CMDB) and feedback records — it does not touch the monitored production resources. For public cloud access, we recommend providing an access key with read-only permissions only.
8 Core Capabilities:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| cmdb | Asset management: discover & manage hosts, business systems, databases, middleware |
| server | Host monitoring: online/offline status, real-time resource checks |
| business | Business systems: health & dependency monitoring |
| database | Database: instance status, connections, performance |
| middleware | Middleware: message queues, caches, running status |
| diagnose | Fault diagnosis: troubleshoot in natural language, locate root cause, give remediation |
| log | Log search: keyword / time-range search & analysis |
| feedback | Feedback: issue reporting & closed-loop handling |
🌱 Quick-start prompts for new users (3 high-value questions):
- One-click health check: ask "Give me a health-check report for XX platform / all platforms" → returns an overall conclusion + risk levels + recommendations (not just raw data lists).
- Trend comparison: ask "How is health vs. yesterday" / "What's the 7-day / 30-day trend" → compares alerts and health across time windows.
- Alert root-cause summary: ask "My user-center page is laggy — analyze all possible software & hardware causes" → automatically traces the dependent database, middleware, hosts and business systems to pinpoint software/hardware root causes, giving a root-cause digest with recommendations instead of listing raw alerts.
These showcase the value better than "check a metric" — guide users to ask them after connecting. ⚠️ How to connect: this skill does NOT handle the connection for you — you MUST guide the user to complete it themselves on the portal / in OpenClaw. Never ask the user to paste a config JSON containing an API Key into the chat, and never write any MCP config file on the user's behalf.
Connection steps (user does it themselves):
- Open
https://ywdz.lxiai.com/→ register (auto-approval) → free Key application, log in & download the MCP config JSON. - In OpenClaw, add the downloaded config to your MCP servers (e.g. via OpenClaw's MCP settings, or by adding it under
mcp.serversin~/.openclaw/openclaw.json), then enable "OpsBuddy". - Verify your config succeeded — you should confirm all of the following, otherwise something went wrong:
- The JSON you pasted is valid and contains
mcpServerswith a server that has aurlandheaders.Authorizationstarting withBearer. - The file saved successfully (no permission error) and OpenClaw shows the "OpsBuddy" server as enabled / connected — not "error" or "failed to load".
- If it shows an error, re-check the pasted JSON for typos, or re-download the config from the portal.
- The JSON you pasted is valid and contains
⚠️ Sensitive-credential notice: The downloaded
mcp-config.jsoncontains your API Key (plaintext credential). Keep it out of chat. You enter it only inside the OpenClaw MCP config (e.g.~/.openclaw/openclaw.json), not by pasting it to me. If the Key leaks, revoke it on the portal and re-apply immediately.
🔒 Data-flow disclosure: The OpsBuddy MCP connection points to the
https://ywdz.lxiai.com/gateway. Your monitoring-platform credentials (Signoz / Tencent Cloud / Aliyun / Nightingale) are configured by you on that portal and transit through this gateway. This skill never receives or stores those credentials.
Core Principle: This skill only explains how to connect. It never receives an API Key, never asks the user to paste a config JSON, and never writes MCP config files. Platform connections, asset management and all other ops operations are done by the user on the portal
https://ywdz.lxiai.com/. Do not guide the user through entering credentials field-by-field in the conversation.
I. FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What if I don't have an API Key? | Open the portal https://ywdz.lxiai.com/ and register → system auto-approval → log in → "My Applications" → download the MCP config (contains the API Key). |
| What is the API Key? | It is the <TOKEN> in Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> in the MCP config JSON — the credential for accessing the ops platform. |
| How do I connect Signoz / Tencent Cloud / Aliyun / Nightingale? | Log in to the portal → "Platforms" page → add a platform → fill in the connection info and save → click "Discover" to pull down resources. |
| What if my token expires? | Re-apply / renew on the portal, re-download the MCP config and update the API Key. |
| What if my API Key is leaked? | Immediately revoke it on the portal and re-apply, then re-add the new MCP config in OpenClaw's MCP settings (e.g. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) yourself. Never paste the new Key into chat. |
II. Config Template (Backup)
{
"mcpServers": {
"OpsBuddy": {"url": "{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp/unified", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer {{API_KEY}}"}}
}
}
The template is only a backup reference for the MCP server shape. In normal flow, the user downloads the config JSON from the portal and adds it manually in OpenClaw's MCP config (e.g.
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) — never by pasting it into chat.
