Shadowbroker
Open-source intelligence for the global theater. Track everything from the corporate/private jets of the wealthy, and spy satellites, to seismic events in one unified interface. Hook an AI agent up to have it parse through data and find previously unseen correlations. The knowledge is available to a
Shadowbroker is an agent skill and intelligence platform that exposes real-time OSINT telemetry from 60+ sources through an agentic AI command channel. AI agents (OpenClaw, Claude Code, GPT, or custom) connect via HMAC-SHA256 signing to query flights, ships, satellites, conflict events, earthquakes, fires, cyber threats, and Telegram OSINT feeds, run server-side reconnaissance (IP/DNS/WHOIS/sanctions/CVE lookups), place investigation pins on the operator's map, and control map views. The skill package (openclaw-skills/shadowbroker/) includes SKILL.md and sb_query.py client for plug-and-play integration, enabling agents to act as co-analysts with full read/write access to the intelligence surface.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Track private jets, military aircraft, and naval vessels for investigative journalism or geopolitical analysis
- 02Cross-reference supply-chain facilities (fabs, data centers) with nearby earthquakes, fires, or conflict events
- 03Monitor Telegram OSINT channels and GDELT conflict feeds for situational awareness and automated threat briefs
- 04Run automated reconnaissance on IP addresses, domains, or entities discovered in other layers
- 05Generate intelligence reports correlating satellite ground-change anomalies with SIGINT, military flights, and news
- 06Place persistent map pins on anomalies detected by the agent for operator review and collaborative investigation

Shadowbroker — FAQ
What is Shadowbroker?+
Shadowbroker is an agent skill that gives AI agents HMAC-authenticated access to a real-time OSINT intelligence platform with 40+ data layers (flights, ships, satellites, cyber threats, conflict events) and server-side recon tools. Agents can query telemetry, run lookups, and control the operator's map.
How do I install and connect an agent?+
Deploy Shadowbroker via Docker Compose, open the AI Intel panel in the dashboard, click Connect Agent, and copy the HMAC secret. For OpenClaw, import ShadowBrokerClient from openclaw-skills/shadowbroker/sb_query.py and pass the secret; for other agents, implement the HMAC-SHA256 signing contract (METHOD|path|timestamp|nonce|sha256(body)).
Which AI clients and agents does it work with?+
The command channel is an open protocol compatible with any agent that can sign HMAC-SHA256 requests. OpenClaw is the reference agent, but Claude Code, GPT, LangChain, and custom Python/TypeScript clients can all connect using the same signing contract.
What API keys or prerequisites are required?+
OpenSky Network OAuth2 credentials (free) are critical for flight data. AIS-stream.io (free) is required for ship tracking. Optional: Shodan, Sentinel Hub, NASA Earthdata, Copernicus CDSE, Global Fishing Watch, and LTA Singapore for enhanced layers. The agent channel requires Docker and an HMAC secret generated via the dashboard.
Is Shadowbroker free and open-source?+
Yes, the platform is fully open-source and self-hosted. Pre-built Docker images are available from GitHub Container Registry. Most data sources are free public APIs; some optional layers (Shodan, Sentinel Hub) require free or paid API keys.
What access tier should I use for the agent?+
Set OPENCLAW_ACCESS_TIER=restricted for read-only access (queries, search, recon lookups). Use OPENCLAW_ACCESS_TIER=full to enable writes (pin placement, layer injection, map control, active subnet sweeps). Full tier is required for SAR AOI management and Sovereign Shell governance participation.
How do I install Shadowbroker?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. Shadowbroker is a skill — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is Shadowbroker free?+
Shadowbroker is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
