Agent setup

Set up Creagency with OpenClaw

Add the Creagency skill and local MCP server so OpenClaw can list accounts, draft posts, upload media, and ask before publish.

Quick start

Step 1

Create a scoped Creagency API key

Use a key with post, asset, and integration scopes. The agent should not receive your social platform passwords.

Step 2

Install the local tooling

Install @creagency/agent, export CREAGENCY_API_KEY, and verify the workspace with auth:status and integrations:list.

Step 3

Install the skill into OpenClaw's skill path

Use OpenClaw's supported skill roots for custom skills, then ask OpenClaw to read the Creagency skill before any API work.

Step 4

Add creagency-mcp to OpenClaw

Save the local stdio MCP server with openclaw mcp add, then verify the entry with status or doctor.

Setup surfaces

Skill

OpenClaw skills are the right place for Creagency's API rules, safety policy, and social workflow instructions.

Install the Creagency skill file in an OpenClaw-supported custom skill root.

Name the task clearly: list accounts, draft, upload media, and stop before publish.

Keep the API key in environment variables and outside channel messages.

Install Creagency skill for OpenClaw

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api
curl -fsSL https://creagency.ai/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.md

CLI

Use parseable terminal commands when the agent can run local shell tools.

Install @creagency/agent globally or call it with npx.

Set CREAGENCY_API_KEY and CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN in the shell or agent environment.

Run auth:status and integrations:list before creating a post.

Creagency CLI baseline

Start every local agent setup with an auth check and account discovery.

npm install -g @creagency/agent
export CREAGENCY_API_KEY=creagency_xxx
export CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN=https://api.creagency.ai

creagency auth:status --json
creagency integrations:list --json

OpenClaw MCP registry

Register the local Creagency stdio server in OpenClaw-managed MCP config. Hosted remote MCP is planned as a separate OAuth-based connector. Use the local CLI and stdio MCP server today.

Use openclaw mcp add to save the server definition.

Run openclaw mcp status --verbose to inspect the saved transport.

Use doctor or probe when you need static or live validation.

OpenClaw MCP entry

openclaw mcp add creagency \
  --command npx \
  --args "-y -p @creagency/agent creagency-mcp"

openclaw mcp status --verbose
openclaw mcp doctor creagency

Prompt examples

OpenClaw launch draft

OpenClaw follows the Creagency skill rules and creates a draft from your brief.

Prompt

Use the Creagency skill to draft a LinkedIn post for this launch. First list connected accounts. Do not publish.

Expected outcome

OpenClaw creates a draft and reports the selected account and post id.

OpenClaw media upload

The skill directs OpenClaw through signed upload, asset creation, and attachment.

Prompt

Upload ./demo.png with Creagency, attach it to a new draft, and show me the final draft summary.

Expected outcome

The image is attached to a draft without exposing upload credentials.

OpenClaw account check

Before drafting, OpenClaw confirms the workspace has the right channels connected.

Prompt

Use Creagency to list connected LinkedIn, Instagram, and Threads accounts. Stop if the requested channel is missing.

Expected outcome

The user sees available channels before any content is created.

OpenClaw publish preparation

OpenClaw prepares the risky action but does not execute it until approved.

Prompt

Prepare the latest Creagency draft for publish, show the account and final text, then wait.

Expected outcome

A publish summary is shown and OpenClaw waits for confirmation.

Safety rules

Read connected accounts before creating or scheduling content.

Keep API keys in environment variables and never print them in chat.

Create drafts first when the user has not explicitly asked to schedule.

Prepare publish and delete actions before execution, then ask for confirmation.

Troubleshooting

OpenClaw cannot see connected accounts.

Run creagency auth:status --json, then integrations:list --json. If the list is empty, connect social accounts in Creagency first.

A post command fails with a missing scope.

Create or rotate the API key with posts:read, posts:write, assets:read, assets:write, and integrations:read.

The agent tries to publish immediately.

Point it back to the skill rule: create or schedule a draft first unless the user explicitly confirms publish.
