How to Install CreativeClaw in OpenClaw

CreativeClaw works with OpenClaw through a hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server. The direct MCP setup works immediately; the packaged plugin additionally bundles the CreativeClaw workflow skill and is prepared for ClawHub distribution.

Install with the OpenClaw MCP registry

Add the remote server:

openclaw mcp add creative-claw \
  --url https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --auth oauth

Then authorize it:

openclaw mcp login creative-claw

OpenClaw prints or opens an authorization URL. Finish the CreativeClaw sign-in and return the authorization code if the CLI asks for it.

Verify the tools

Run a live probe:

openclaw mcp doctor creative-claw --probe

You should see a successful OAuth status and a catalog of CreativeClaw tools. If the Gateway is already running, reload the MCP registry or restart the Gateway:

openclaw mcp reload
openclaw gateway restart

Add the workflow skill

The MCP connection provides generation and asset tools. Install the optional CreativeClaw skill for model selection, prompt design, brand themes, and media workflow guidance:

npx skills add CreativeClawCo/creative-claw-marketplace

Choose OpenClaw when prompted, then start a new agent session.

Install from ClawHub when the listing is live

The CreativeClaw package includes openclaw.plugin.json, the skills/creativeclaw directory, and ClawHub package metadata. Once the public listing is published, the packaged route will be:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@creativeclaw/plugin
openclaw plugins enable creative-claw
openclaw mcp login creative-claw
openclaw gateway restart

Until that ClawHub listing is live, use the direct MCP and skill commands above. They connect to the same hosted service and CreativeClaw account.

Create with CreativeClaw

Give your OpenClaw agent a complete media toolkit

Connect the hosted MCP, authorize once, and generate through one account with shared brand themes and assets.

Troubleshooting

Login returns an authorization URL but does not finish

Complete approval in the browser, copy the returned code if shown, and run:

openclaw mcp login creative-claw --code YOUR_RETURNED_CODE

The server exists but tools do not appear

Run openclaw mcp status --verbose, confirm that creative-claw is enabled, then run the doctor probe. Normal status and doctor checks are static; --probe performs the live connection test.

A stale login keeps failing

Clear the saved OAuth credentials and authorize again:

openclaw mcp logout creative-claw
openclaw mcp login creative-claw

See OpenClaw’s official MCP CLI documentation and plugin manifest reference for current configuration details.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect CreativeClaw to OpenClaw today?

Add the hosted endpoint with openclaw mcp add using the streamable-http transport and OAuth, then run openclaw mcp login creative-claw.

Is CreativeClaw available on ClawHub?

The package includes a native OpenClaw manifest and ClawHub metadata, but the public ClawHub listing is a separate publication step. Use the direct MCP commands until the listing is live.

How can I verify the OpenClaw connection?

Run openclaw mcp doctor creative-claw --probe. It should complete OAuth checks, connect to the endpoint, and report the available tools.
