GLM Search & Tools Plugin for OpenClaw

GLM/Z.AI tools for OpenClaw via MCP servers: web search, page reader, and GitHub repo reader.

Tools

Tool	MCP Server	Description
glm_search	web_search_prime	Search the web via GLM (currently returns empty results due to a GLM service-side issue)
glm_reader	web_reader	Read and extract content from any URL — handles anti-bot pages
glm_zread	zread	Browse GitHub repo structure and read files

All three tools are standalone — available regardless of your default search provider.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@conanwhf/openclaw-glm-search

Or from source:

openclaw plugins install /path/to/glm-search-plugin

Configuration

API Key

Set one of these environment variables in your OpenClaw gateway:

export Z_AI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# or: ZAI_API_KEY, GLM_API_KEY, ZHIPU_API_KEY

Region (optional)

To force CN endpoints, add to your OpenClaw config:

tools:
  web:
    search:
      glm:
        region: cn

Get API Key

• Global: Z.AI Console
• CN: 智谱开放平台

Usage Examples

# Read a web page
glm_reader url="https://example.com/article"

# Browse a GitHub repo
glm_zread action="structure" repo_name="openclaw/openclaw"

# Read a specific file from a repo
glm_zread action="file" repo_name="openclaw/openclaw" path="package.json"

# Search the web (when GLM fixes their service)
glm_search query="latest AI news"

Known Issues

• glm_search returns empty results ([]) for all queries. This is a GLM/Z.AI service-side issue, not a plugin bug. Other tools (reader, zread) work fine.
