How to Batch-Look Up Compounds with OpenClaw
Batch chemical compound lookups with OpenClaw and ToolRouter.
Tool
OpenClaw processes compound lookups for entire lists of substances in a single operation, making it suitable for research projects validating compound libraries, regulatory submissions requiring standardised identifiers, and educational platforms building comprehensive chemistry reference datasets.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw
1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp toolsSteps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Chemistry Lookup tool:
- Run: "Look up aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol, and naproxen using chemistry-lookup"
- OpenClaw returns complete compound data for all four
- Export to your research database or reference system
- Use for batch CAS number validation across compound inventories
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Chemistry Lookup tool
Look up 10 common organic solvents using chemistry-lookup. Return as JSON with name, CAS number, molecular formula, molecular weight, and SMILES for each.
Tips
- Use batch lookups to validate and standardise compound names across existing databases
- Cross-reference CAS numbers against compound names to catch data entry errors
- Build compound master data lists once and cache indefinitely — molecular properties are immutable
