X + OpenClaw integration
Connect X to OpenClaw
ConnectChats brings your X chats into OpenClaw. Ask OpenClaw to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What OpenClaw can do with your X
ConnectChats gives OpenClaw a small set of tools. OpenClaw calls them when you ask about your X chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and OpenClaw reads your unread X chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. OpenClaw searches your X history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
OpenClaw writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own X account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

-
Add ConnectChats to OpenClaw
- Add ConnectChats with openclaw mcp add connectchats --url https://api.connectchats.com/mcp --transport streamable-http.
- Set auth to oauth for that server in your OpenClaw config.
- Stop the Gateway, run openclaw mcp login connectchats and sign in with your passkey in the browser.
- Start the Gateway again, and your agent can use your shared chats.
-
Link your X account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then X.
- Sign in to x.com in your browser, then copy the session cookies ConnectChats asks for, following the guide on screen.
- ConnectChats checks the session and lists your conversations.
- If you sign out of X everywhere or change your password, link it again the same way.
-
Pick the chats OpenClaw can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. OpenClaw never sees the rest.
-
Ask OpenClaw about your X
Open a new conversation in OpenClaw and ask about your chats. OpenClaw calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How X and OpenClaw work together
ConnectChats links to your X direct messages using your signed in browser session, because X offers no other way for a personal account to share its DMs. Posts and your timeline are not part of it, only your messages, and you choose which conversations your AI app can see.
-
X in ConnectChats
Direct messages, group DMs and message requests are supported. Encrypted chats on X may not come through, because only your own devices hold their keys. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.

ConnectChats in OpenClaw
OpenClaw adds remote MCP servers from its command line or its config file, and ConnectChats works there as one of them. Add it once, sign in with your passkey, and your agent can catch you up on your chats and draft replies you approve. OpenClaw was called Clawdbot, then Moltbot, before taking its current name. OpenClaw runs on your own machine or server, so you control where it lives. ConnectChats itself is hosted, so your chat apps stay linked even when your OpenClaw machine is off. OpenClaw already talks to you through chat apps. ConnectChats is different: it gives the agent read and draft access to your own chats, with approval before anything is sent. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in OpenClaw without linking them again.
Your X stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
OpenClaw only sees the X chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
OpenClaw prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches X, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can OpenClaw read my X messages?
Yes, once you link X in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to OpenClaw. OpenClaw reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can OpenClaw send X messages for me?
OpenClaw can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own X account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the X to OpenClaw integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside OpenClaw and link X from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link X once and use it everywhere.
Does it read my X posts and mentions?
No. ConnectChats is for messages, so it only brings in your direct messages and group DMs.
Why does X need browser cookies instead of a normal sign-in?
X does not offer a sign-in that lets another app read personal DMs. Using your browser session is how ConnectChats connects as you. You can end that session at any time by signing out of X.
Is OpenClaw the same as Clawdbot or Moltbot?
Yes. The project was renamed from Clawdbot to Moltbot, then to OpenClaw. The setup is the same whichever name your install uses.
Do I need to restart OpenClaw after adding ConnectChats?
Yes. Stop the Gateway before you run openclaw mcp login connectchats, then start it again so your agent picks up the new server.
