ClawHub
The Tomba Contact Intelligence skill tells an OpenClaw agent which Tomba MCP tools to use for contact discovery, verification, enrichment, and company research, and in what order. The skill makes no requests itself: the agent calls the tools of a connected Tomba MCP server. Tomba maintains the skill; the source is in tomba-io/tomba-mcp-server and the listing on ClawHub.
Prerequisites
- OpenClaw.
- A Tomba API key and secret. See Get your key and secret.
- A Tomba MCP server connected to OpenClaw: the local server, which reads the same environment variables as the skill, or the remote server.
Install and connect
-
Install the skill:
CodeOr copy the
skills/tomba-contact-intelligencefolder from the source repository to~/.openclaw/skills/tomba-contact-intelligence/. -
Set the environment variables the skill declares as required:
Code -
Restart the OpenClaw gateway or start a new session so the skill is loaded.
Actions
The skill expects these 12 tools from the MCP server: domain_search, email_finder, email_verifier, email_enrichment, author_finder, linkedin_finder, phone_finder, phone_validator, email_count, similar_finder, technology_finder, and companies_search. MCP tools describes their parameters.
It directs the agent to:
- Find a person's address with
email_finder, then check it withemail_verifierbefore calling it confirmed. - Research a company with
domain_search,email_count,technology_finder, andsimilar_finder. - Build a company list with
companies_search, then look up contacts for the best matches. - Say whether an address was verified and separate confirmed data from inferred data.
Each tool call is a Tomba API request, charged and throttled like a direct call: see Credit costs and Rate limits.
Example
Ask the agent:
Code
The skill leads the agent to call email_finder with the name and domain, then email_verifier on the result, and to report the address with its verification result.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The agent doesn't use the skill | The skill isn't loaded. | Check that SKILL.md is in ~/.openclaw/skills/tomba-contact-intelligence/, then restart the gateway or start a new session. |
| The agent reports missing Tomba tools | No Tomba MCP server is connected, or it's missing some of the 12 tools. | Connect a Tomba MCP server and check its tool list. |
| Tool calls fail with authentication errors | The MCP server has no valid key and secret. | Set TOMBA_API_KEY and TOMBA_SECRET_KEY, or fix the remote server's credentials; see Authentication. |
