How do you connect OpenClaw to PlatPost?

What can OpenClaw do in PlatPost?

OpenClaw is an open-source agent that connects to MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. You add the PlatPost address and header in its MCP settings.

PlatPost gives it a small set of tools through MCP, and each tool does one job.

• Read your Business Brain: what you sell, who your customer is, your voice and your goal.
• List your connected channels, so it knows where you post.
• Read your recent posts with their status, text, schedule and live link, so it can match how you write.
• Write a post as a draft. You review it in PlatPost as you would your own.
• Upload an image, a GIF, a video or music that it made with its own tools. The file appears in the composer under From your agent.
• Send you a message in the agent chat on every page, and read your replies.
• With the schedule right on, schedule a post for a time up to one year ahead. With the publish right on, post at once.

How do I connect OpenClaw to PlatPost?

OpenClaw connects to MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. Add this address and header in its MCP settings, with the key from PLATPOST_KEY.

1. Open the Agents page in PlatPost and make a key. Leave schedule and publish off for now.
2. Copy the key. PlatPost shows it once.
3. Put the key in the environment variable PLATPOST_KEY on your computer. On Windows PowerShell, the variable is $env:PLATPOST_KEY.
4. Add the setup below in the place this section names.
5. Ask OpenClaw: "Read my PlatPost Business Brain and draft three posts about this week."

Header: Authorization: Bearer <your key>

Can OpenClaw post without my approval?

Not with a new key. A new key can read and write drafts only, and every draft waits for you in PlatPost.

You can turn on two more rights for one key: schedule posts, and publish posts at once. Each right is a separate choice, because an agent that posts skips your approval. On the Free plan, OpenClaw can read and draft, but it cannot schedule or publish until you choose a plan.

Is it safe to give OpenClaw a PlatPost key?

An agent runs in a loop and does not get tired, so every limit is a number in the code.

• PlatPost stores only a one-way hash of the key. Nobody can read the key back, PlatPost included.
• OpenClaw acts only in your own workspace. It cannot see another account.
• The tools have no file, code, database or shell access, and nothing the agent sends runs as code.
• A workspace takes at most 100 agent drafts and 20 agent posts in 24 hours, so a runaway loop stops at a number.
• You can remove a key on the Agents page at any time. The agent loses access at once.

What should I ask OpenClaw to do?

An agent works best with one clear job. These requests use only the tools above.

• "Read my PlatPost Business Brain and draft three posts about this week."
• "Write a post draft for each of my connected channels about our new offer."
• "Read my recent posts and tell me which day of the week I post least."

What if OpenClaw cannot connect?

Each line below names a case, and then what to do about it.

• OpenClaw says the key is missing. Set PLATPOST_KEY in the same terminal or app that runs it, then start it again.
• OpenClaw says the key is refused. The key was removed or copied wrong. Make a new key on the Agents page, because an old key cannot be shown again.
• OpenClaw cannot schedule a post. The key has no schedule right, or the workspace is on the Free plan.
• OpenClaw stops making drafts. The workspace reached 100 agent drafts in 24 hours. The count frees up as the day moves on.

Questions people ask

Where does the PlatPost setup go for OpenClaw?

In its MCP settings: the PlatPost address over Streamable HTTP, and an Authorization header that carries your key from PLATPOST_KEY.

Does OpenClaw need a paid PlatPost plan?

Not to read and draft. OpenClaw can read your Business Brain and write drafts on any plan. Scheduling and publishing need a paid plan.

Does OpenClaw write in my voice?

OpenClaw can read your Business Brain and your recent posts before it writes, so its drafts can follow your voice. You still edit and approve every draft.

Can OpenClaw see my passwords or my other accounts?

No. A key reaches only your own workspace, and the tools have no file, code, database or shell access.

How do I stop OpenClaw?

Remove its key on the Agents page. The agent loses access at once, and the drafts it already wrote stay in PlatPost.

Does a post on X from OpenClaw cost the same as my own?

Yes. A post on X that OpenClaw schedules or publishes takes the same X price from your wallet as a post you make yourself.
