Needle + OpenClaw
Give your autonomous agents a live connection to Needle: managed, secure, and ready in minutes.
Needle is a RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) toolkit that brings semantic search capabilities to your own data. On Molted, your OpenClaw agents connect to Needle through the managed MCP integration layer, with no glue code, no servers to run, and no credentials baked into containers. The agent can automate tasks and connect this tool to the rest of your stack for Needle, autonomously and within the guardrails you set.
Available actions
5 ready-to-use Needle actions.
Your OpenClaw agents can call any of these Needle actions directly through Molted's managed MCP layer. No wrappers, no boilerplate.
NEEDLE_CREATE_COLLECTION
Create Collection
Tool to create a new collection. use after confirming the collection name.
NEEDLE_DELETE_FILES_FROM_COLLECTION
Delete files from a collection
Tool to delete files from a specific collection by providing file ids. use after confirming valid file ids to remove from the collection.
NEEDLE_GET_COLLECTION_STATS
Get collection stats
Tool to retrieve statistics for a specific collection by its id. use when you need document count, index size, and timestamps after confirming the collection…
NEEDLE_LIST_COLLECTION_FILES
List Collection Files
Tool to list all files within a specific collection by its id. use when you have a collection id and need to retrieve its files. supports pagination.
NEEDLE_LIST_COLLECTIONS
List Collections
Tool to list collections. use after authenticating with your api key to page through collections.
How the connection works
Connect once. The agent acts.
Needle connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod. Everything runs through Molted's managed MCP layer, so there is no integration code to write and nothing to keep running.
01
The agent requests access
Your OpenClaw agent asks for Needle when a task needs it.
02
You approve the connection
Authorize Needle once (API key). Credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped to what you allow.
03
The agent acts
It reads and writes to Needle autonomously, inside your guardrails, with full audit and revocable access.
FAQ
Needle on Molted, answered.
Q.01
Can OpenClaw agents use Needle on Molted?
Yes. Needle is one of 1,000+ apps available through Molted's managed MCP integration layer. Your agent requests access, you approve the connection, and it can act on Needle straight away, with no integration code to write or maintain.
Q.02
How do I connect Needle to my agent?
Needle connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod.
Q.03
What can an agent actually do with Needle?
Within the permissions you grant, an agent can automate tasks and connect this tool to the rest of your stack. Needle lets your agent glue this service to the rest of your stack without writing code.
Q.04
Is my Needle data and credentials secure?
Yes. Molted never bakes credentials into the agent's pod: every connection is brokered through the managed integration layer, secrets are encrypted at rest, and access stays scoped to what you approve. You can revoke Needle access at any time.
Q.05
Do I have to run any infrastructure to use Needle?
No. Molted is the managed operating environment for autonomous agents: compute, the MCP layer, browser automation and self-healing are all handled for you. Connecting Needle is a configuration step, not an engineering project.
Q.06
Will the Needle connection stay live for an always-on agent?
Yes. Molted keeps Needle connections healthy for autonomous agents, refreshing tokens and surfacing any re-auth, so autonomous workflows that depend on Needle keep running.
