# Connect OpenClaw to X: coming soon

Source: https://postgale.com/guides/openclaw/x

Not yet. X is coming soon to Postgale: X accounts cannot be connected today, so OpenClaw cannot post, reply or send direct messages on X through Postgale yet. OpenClaw can already connect to Postgale and work on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, Telegram, Discord, Bluesky and Mastodon, and answer customers on WhatsApp Business.

## Can OpenClaw post, reply or send direct messages on X through Postgale?

> Coming soon: X is not available yet. An X account cannot be connected in Postgale today, so nothing on this page works against X yet. What is planned may change before launch.

Postgale is the secure layer for AI agents on social media. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor use outside tools. An MCP server is what they connect to. Until X is live, Dashboard → Accounts shows X as “Coming soon”, and OpenClaw gets no X account to act on.

## What is planned for X?

The plan is the official X API v2, with the same approval, audit log and revocable access as the other platforms. Details may change before launch:

- Posts, threads, polls and quote posts with images, a GIF or a video.
- Replies, mentions and direct messages.
- Recent search and post metrics.
- X’s own rules applied before anything is sent, such as its 280 weighted-character limit.

## Set up OpenClaw with Postgale today

1. In Postgale, open Dashboard → API keys, create a key and copy it (it starts with `sk_` and is shown once). Connect the social accounts the agent may use under Dashboard → Accounts.
2. An agent that runs on its own, on a schedule or from a chat app, should use a key with approval required: create the key, then turn on approval for it under Dashboard → API keys. Everything it wants to publish, reply or send then waits for a person.
3. Store the key where OpenClaw reads secrets, for example an environment variable `POSTGALE_API_KEY` on the machine it runs on. Do not paste it into a chat.

## Step 2a: add Postgale as an MCP server

Add a remote MCP server in OpenClaw’s configuration with these values. Field names and file locations depend on your OpenClaw version and setup; check its documentation for where MCP servers are declared.

Postgale MCP server:
```text
URL:        https://postgale.com/mcp
Transport:  Streamable HTTP
Header:     Authorization: Bearer sk_…
```

Clients that take the common `mcpServers` JSON shape accept it like this:

mcpServers entry:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgale": {
      "url": "https://postgale.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_…"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## What can OpenClaw do through Postgale today?

An agent can publish today on [Instagram](https://postgale.com/integrations/instagram), [Facebook Pages](https://postgale.com/integrations/facebook), [Threads](https://postgale.com/integrations/threads), [TikTok](https://postgale.com/integrations/tiktok), [Telegram](https://postgale.com/integrations/telegram), [Discord](https://postgale.com/integrations/discord), [Bluesky](https://postgale.com/integrations/bluesky) and [Mastodon](https://postgale.com/integrations/mastodon), and answer customers on [WhatsApp Business](https://postgale.com/integrations/whatsapp). X is coming soon.

Nothing has to go out unreviewed. Approval can be required per workspace, per connected account, per API key or per signed-in app; while it applies, posts wait as pending approval in the dashboard, and replies, direct messages and edits to live posts are refused. Every write the agent makes is kept in the audit log.
