# Use PickFu inside OpenClaw agent skills

> Use the PickFu MCP server or CLI inside OpenClaw skills to run autonomous generate, test, and refine research loops with real consumer feedback.

[OpenClaw](https://docs.openclaw.ai) is an agentic CLI runtime — a terminal-based environment where autonomous agents can invoke shell commands, call APIs, and drive workflows without human intervention. It pairs well with PickFu because PickFu's survey API supports a full autonomous research loop: an agent can generate assets, create polls, wait for real human respondents, and analyze results inside a single skill.

## Why OpenClaw + PickFu

PickFu's survey API lets an agent drive a generate → test → refine cycle against real human feedback instead of AI guesswork. Because OpenClaw surfaces shell commands and MCP tools from inside an autonomous runtime, a skill can generate assets, publish a survey, and come back to analyze responses once they're in — turning consumer research into a continuous loop instead of a manual workflow.

OpenClaw can use PickFu two ways: through the [MCP server](#mcp-server) for natural-language tool calls, or by invoking the [CLI inside a skill](#cli-inside-a-skill) for scripted workflows. Both paths share the same PickFu account and authentication, and you can use them together in a single skill.

## Integration paths

### MCP server

Wire the PickFu MCP server into OpenClaw with one command:

```bash theme={null}
openclaw mcp set pickfu '{"url":"https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp"}'
```

Or add to `openclaw.json` manually:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "pickfu": {
        "url": "https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Then restart the gateway. OAuth sign-in is triggered when a tool is first called.

See [OpenClaw MCP documentation](https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/mcp) for details.

### CLI inside a skill

Install the PickFu CLI on the machine running OpenClaw (see [Installation](/integrations/cli#installation) for all methods — Homebrew, curl, npm, or standalone binary), then reference `pickfu` commands from your skill like any other shell tool.

The CLI is a good fit for short-lived operations that slot cleanly into OpenClaw's execution model: creating and publishing surveys, generating or uploading media, tagging and organizing projects, and retrieving results from surveys that have already finished. `pickfu survey create`, `pickfu media upload`, `pickfu media generate`, and `pickfu survey get` all return quickly and work well inside a skill.

<Note>
  **`pickfu survey watch` isn't a good fit for OpenClaw skills.** PickFu surveys typically take 15–30 minutes or longer to collect responses, and sitting on a blocking `watch` call that long is at or past OpenClaw's `exec` tool timeout. For long blocking waits, use the PickFu CLI from [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) or another runtime without a hard tool timeout. In OpenClaw, prefer a fire-and-resume pattern: publish the survey in one skill invocation, exit, and call `pickfu survey get <survey-id>` in a follow-up once you expect responses to be in.

## Ready-made: PickFu Market Research skill

The [PickFu Market Research skill](https://clawhub.ai/justinchen/pickfu-market-research) on Claw Hub is a ready-to-install workflow built on top of the PickFu CLI. Install it to get:

* Prompts for generating logo concepts, packaging mockups, and ad creatives
* Templates for validating product names and comparing packaging designs
* A `generate → test → refine → retest` iteration loop using real consumer feedback
* Tagging and project organization helpers for managing multiple research threads

<Tip>
  The skill wraps the PickFu CLI, so you'll need the CLI installed on the machine running OpenClaw. See the [CLI page](/integrations/cli#installation) for install methods.
