OpenClaw Integration
Schedule social media posts from OpenClaw
Connect PostQuickAI to OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Then text your agent on Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp or Discord and it can schedule posts, write content and pull analytics.
1. Add to your character config
In your OpenClaw character file (characters/my-agent.json), add the MCP block:
{
"name": "my-agent",
"modelProvider": "anthropic",
"plugins": [],
"mcpServers": {
"postquickai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
"env": {
"POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "pq_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}If you already have other MCP servers configured, add postquickai alongside them.
2. Restart the agent
pnpm start --character=./characters/my-agent.jsonCheck the agent logs. When the server is ready, they show that OpenClaw connected to postquickai.
3. Try it over messaging
Use the messaging app you set up for the agent (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp or Signal):
4. (Optional) Scheduled tasks
Run your agent on a schedule for jobs like a nightly analytics digest or a morning batch of draft posts. Each task exits when it finishes, so you can start it from cron, a systemd timer or Railway cron.
API and agent access
Included in every plan
Every plan includes the REST API, MCP server, Claude Skills, and AGENTS.md integration, at no extra charge.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) is a free, open-source AI agent framework. Its agents run on your own machine, take requests through messaging apps such as Signal, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp and X DMs, and work with Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok or another model you choose.
OpenClaw supports MCP servers. Add the PostQuickAI config to the `mcpServers` block in your character file and restart the agent. The PostQuickAI tools then appear next to your other plugins.
Yes. OpenClaw passes each incoming message to the agent, the agent decides which tools to call (PostQuickAI's included), and the reply goes back through the same messaging app. So you can text "schedule a post for tomorrow 9am" to your agent on WhatsApp.
Yes. An OpenClaw agent can use several plugins in one task, so it can combine PostQuickAI with your other plugins, for example to read the news before drafting a post.
Only if you want to message it at any time. For scheduled work such as a nightly analytics digest or a daily batch of posts, run the agent as a cron job with `pnpm start --character=./config.json --task=digest` and let it exit after the task completes.
Troubleshooting
Connection failed
Set command to npx and provide args as an array. Restart the agent after changing its configuration.
