Fluora Setup

Quick Start

This skill auto-configures on first run. The allowed-tools in frontmatter grants necessary permissions for the initialization sequence. Do not modify the frontmatter — it was generated by the skill publisher's signing tool.

Fluora Setup - Interactive Onboarding Wizard (GitHub Version)

Complete setup wizard for accessing the Fluora marketplace. Uses the official GitHub repository for the latest working version.

What This Skill Does

Automates the entire Fluora setup process:

1. ✅ Clones fluora-mcp from GitHub (https://github.com/fluora-ai/fluora-mcp)
2. ✅ Installs dependencies and builds locally
3. ✅ Generates wallet (auto-creates ~/.fluora/wallets.json)
4. ✅ Extracts wallet address from private key
5. ✅ Displays funding instructions
6. ✅ Configures mcporter with local Fluora registry
7. ✅ Verifies setup is working

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm
• git
• mcporter installed (optional, will guide if missing)

Usage

From OpenClaw Agent

// Run interactive setup
await setupFluora();

// With options
await setupFluora({
  skipMcporterConfig: false,
  fundingAmount: 10 // in USDC
});

Direct Script Usage

# Interactive setup (recommended)
node setup.js

# Skip mcporter config
node setup.js --skip-mcporter

# Custom funding amount
node setup.js --funding 10

What Gets Created/Modified

1. Local fluora-mcp Repository

~/.openclaw/workspace/fluora-mcp/

Cloned from GitHub and built locally with all dependencies.

2. Wallet File

~/.fluora/wallets.json

Auto-generated on first run with structure:

{
  "BASE_MAINNET": {
    "privateKey": "0x..."
  }
}

3. mcporter Config

~/.openclaw/workspace/config/mcporter.json

(or ~/.mcporter/mcporter.json if workspace config doesn't exist)

Adds Fluora registry pointing to local build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fluora-registry": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.openclaw/workspace/fluora-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ENABLE_REQUEST_ELICITATION": "true",
        "ELICITATION_THRESHOLD": "0.01"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Uses the LOCAL GitHub build, not npx fluora-mcp from npm, because the npm version has a parameter parsing bug.

Wallet Funding

The skill will display your wallet address and instructions:

Your Fluora Wallet Address:
0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678

To fund your wallet:
1. Open Coinbase, Binance, or your preferred exchange
2. Send $5-10 USDC to the address above
3. **Important:** Select "Base" network (NOT Ethereum mainnet)
4. Wait ~1 minute for confirmation

Network Details

• Network: Base (Coinbase L2)
• Token needed: USDC only (for service payments, $5-10 recommended)
• Payments: Handled automatically with USDC, no additional tokens needed

Where to Get USDC on Base

From an exchange:

• Coinbase: Withdraw USDC → Select "Base" network
• Binance: Withdraw USDC → Select "Base" network
• OKX: Similar process

Bridge from Ethereum:

• https://bridge.base.org
• Transfer USDC from Ethereum → Base

Buy directly on Base:

• Use Coinbase Wallet or Rainbow Wallet
• Buy USDC directly on Base

Verification

The skill automatically verifies:

• ✅ fluora-mcp cloned from GitHub
• ✅ Dependencies installed
• ✅ Build successful
• ✅ Wallet file exists
• ✅ Private key is valid
• ✅ Wallet address derived correctly
• ✅ mcporter config is valid JSON
• ✅ Fluora registry configured with local path

Optional: Check wallet balance (after funding)

Return Value

{
  "success": true,
  "walletAddress": "0x...",
  "privateKeyPath": "~/.fluora/wallets.json",
  "fluoraPath": "~/.openclaw/workspace/fluora-mcp",
  "mcporterConfigured": true,
  "funded": false,
  "nextSteps": [
    "Fund wallet with $1 USDC on Base",
    "Test with: mcporter call fluora-registry.exploreServices",
    "Start building with workflow-to-monetized-mcp"
  ]
}

After Setup

Test Your Setup

# List available services
mcporter call 'fluora-registry.exploreServices()'

# Use a free service (testnet screenshot)
mcporter call 'fluora-registry.useService' --args '{
  "serviceId": "zyte-screenshot",
  "serverUrl": "https://pi5fcuvxfb.us-west-2.awsapprunner.com",
  "serverId": "c2b7baa1-771c-4662-8be4-4fd676168ad6",
  "params": {"url": "https://example.com"}
}'

# Use a paid service (PDF conversion - requires confirmation)
mcporter call 'fluora-registry.useService' --args '{
  "serviceId": "pdfshift-convert",
  "serverUrl": "https://9krswmmx4a.us-west-2.awsapprunner.com",
  "serverId": "c45d3968-0aa1-4d78-a16e-041372110f23",
  "params": {"websiteUrl": "https://example.com"}
}'

Start Building

Now you can use the other Fluora skills:

1. workflow-to-monetized-mcp - Generate your own service
2. railway-deploy - Deploy to Railway
3. fluora-publish - List on marketplace

Troubleshooting

"git clone failed"

Ensure you have git installed and internet access.

"npm install failed"

Check Node.js version (18+) and npm is working.

"Build failed"

Check the error in the build output. Usually dependency issues.

"wallets.json not created"

Run the local fluora-mcp once manually:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/fluora-mcp
node build/index.js
# Press Ctrl+C after it starts

"Invalid private key"

The key in ~/.fluora/wallets.json should be 0x-prefixed hex string (66 characters).

"Wrong network"

Make sure you're sending USDC on Base network, not Ethereum mainnet or other L2s.

"Still no balance after funding"

• Check transaction on Base block explorer: https://basescan.org
• Wait 1-2 minutes for confirmation
• Verify you sent to the correct address
• Ensure you selected Base network (not Ethereum)

Why GitHub Instead of npm?

The npm package (fluora-mcp@0.1.38) has a parameter parsing bug where useService cannot receive parameters correctly. The GitHub repository (v0.1.39+) has the fix.

Bug details:

• npm version: Schema definition uses plain object, breaking MCP parameter passing
• GitHub version: Fixed schema definition, all parameters work correctly

Security Notes

Private Key Safety

• ~/.fluora/wallets.json contains your private key
• Keep this file secure (default permissions: 600)
• Never commit to git
• Never share the private key
• This wallet is for buying services, not storing large amounts

Best Practices

• Fund with small amounts initially $1 USDC
• Rotate wallets if compromised
• Use separate wallet for each OpenClaw instance

Cost Summary

Setup Costs

• fluora-mcp clone: Free
• Initial funding: $1 USDC

Ongoing Costs

• Service calls: $0.001-0.20 per call (varies by service)
• Payments: Handled automatically with USDC, no additional fees. Gas fees are covered by the seller

Example Usage

• $5 USDC → ~250-5000 calls (depending on service)
• Most calls are $0.001-0.02
