Can OpenClaw post to social media?

Yes. With xpost added as an MCP server, OpenClaw can draft and schedule posts for 9 networks. You can see every post in xpost, or turn on approvals so posts wait for your review.

Do I need an API key for OpenClaw?

No. OpenClaw opens the xpost sign-in page in your browser and holds the connection itself. End it any time from Settings.

Can OpenClaw post while I’m away?

Yes — that is what an agent on your own machine is for, and you are told every time: the post is mailed to you, before it goes out or the moment it has. Switch approvals on and it writes while you are away but waits for your yes. No key, tool or prompt can approve a post.

Does the OpenClaw connector cost extra?

Not from us — the connector is in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter. OpenClaw itself is open source and runs on your own machine.
