modbender ClawRAG Connector
The Brain for OpenClaw - Self-hosted RAG engine with hybrid search.
⚠️ This skill requires Docker. It connects OpenClaw to your local ClawRAG instance.
What is ClawRAG?
Production-ready RAG infrastructure that keeps your data local:
- 🔒 Privacy-first: Vector DB runs on your machine
- 🔍 Hybrid Search: Semantic + Keyword (BM25) + RRF ranking
- 📄 Smart Ingestion: PDFs, Office docs, Markdown via Docling
- 🧠 MCP-native: Seamless OpenClaw integration
