Setup

How to add the Xholic MCP server to OpenClaw

Connect your X account to Xholic first (one click with X's official sign-in, during the free trial). Then:

Step 1: Add Xholic

Run this where OpenClaw runs, with auth set to oauth.

Terminal

$ openclaw mcp add xholic --url https://api.xholic.ai/mcp --transport streamable-http

02
Step 2: Sign in
This opens your browser to approve Xholic: pick what OpenClaw may do and which X accounts it can use.
Terminal
```
$ openclaw mcp login xholic
```

Step 3: Or paste the setup prompt

Prefer not to type commands? Send OpenClaw the setup prompt and it runs the steps itself.

Setup prompt

Set up Xholic for me. Xholic manages my X (Twitter) account: posts, scheduling, analytics, leads and notes.

1. If you already have Xholic tools (for example get_me), skip step 2.
2. Add https://api.xholic.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth) named "xholic", for all projects, then sign in through the browser when it asks. Don't ask me for a key. Use your own setup command if you have one: Claude Code, claude mcp add --scope user --transport http xholic https://api.xholic.ai/mcp; Codex or the ChatGPT desktop app, codex mcp add xholic --url https://api.xholic.ai/mcp then codex mcp login xholic; Hermes, hermes mcp add xholic --url https://api.xholic.ai/mcp --auth oauth; OpenClaw, openclaw mcp add xholic --url https://api.xholic.ai/mcp --transport streamable-http with auth set to oauth, then openclaw mcp login xholic. Otherwise add it to your MCP config file. Tell me if I need to restart you to load it.
If you can't add MCP servers but can run commands, do step 4 now and use the xholic CLI it installs. If you can do neither, use the REST API at https://api.xholic.ai/v1 (docs: https://docs.xholic.ai/). It needs an API key, which I'll create in Xholic and give you as the XHOLIC_API_KEY environment variable. Never ask me to paste it in chat.
3. Check it works by getting my profile (get_me, or xholic me get), then tell me which X account you're connected to.
4. If you can run commands, also install the skill for every project: npx -y skills@1.7.1 add sjcodebook/xholic-agent -g -y. It teaches you how to use Xholic and installs the xholic CLI if needed. If it only reports that a few other agents don't support global installs, the skill is still installed. This step is optional when the Xholic tools already work: if it fails or takes more than two minutes, tell me in one line and carry on.
5. Then ask if I'd like today's plan.

Only use the exact URL and package names above.
If a step other than step 4 fails, show me the exact error and stop. Don't try other servers, packages or workarounds.
Never post, send DMs or delete anything without asking me first.

FAQs

OpenClaw and Xholic: questions

Setup, safety and pricing for using Xholic in OpenClaw.

Is OpenClaw the same as MCP?

No. OpenClaw is an agent; MCP is the standard it uses to connect to tools. Xholic is an MCP server, so OpenClaw can use it like any other tool.

Can OpenClaw post to X on a schedule?

Yes. Give it a cron job, like "every weekday at 9, schedule my best draft". It uses Xholic's queue and your best times. Untick Publish when you approve it if you want to confirm every post.

OpenClaw can't reach Xholic. What should I check?

Make sure the transport is streamable-http, then run openclaw mcp login xholic again. If OpenClaw runs on a server without a browser, open the sign-in link it prints on your own device.

Is Xholic free to use with OpenClaw?

Xholic has a 7-day free trial with no card needed. After that, the MCP server, API and CLI are included in every plan, from $19 a month. OpenClaw does the writing on its own plan, so Xholic doesn't charge for its AI.

Does OpenClaw need my X password?

No. You connect your X account to Xholic once through X's official sign-in. OpenClaw then signs in to Xholic through your browser, so it never sees your X password or a key.

Can OpenClaw post to X without asking me?

Only if you allow it. When you approve OpenClaw you choose what it can do: read, write drafts and lists, and publish. Untick Publish and it asks you first with a one-click link. In apps that can show a confirmation, every post and DM waits for your yes and shows exactly what goes out. Authentication and permissions

Which X accounts can OpenClaw use?

Only the ones you tick when you approve it, with one of them as the default. You can change that or disconnect OpenClaw anytime in Xholic under Settings → API / MCP / CLI, and everything it does is logged there.

Works with your other AI too

Use Xholic in every agent you use

One Xholic account works in all of them at once, with the same voice, memory and queue. People who use OpenClaw often also connect Hermes Agent, Grok Bot and NanoClaw.
