Create and export your API key
OpenClaw MCP uses Streamable HTTP + x-api-key, not OAuth. Create a project key in Settings → API Keys, then export it in the same shell you will use for openclaw mcp set.
export MERMAIL_API_KEY="sk-proj-YOUR_KEY"OPENCLAW
Point OpenClaw at hosted MCP with Streamable HTTP and x-api-key. Probe the connection, then let the agent manage inboxes and payment receipts.
Why OpenClaw
Mermail gives OpenClaw a dedicated inbox and payment layer so verification, checkout, and receipts stay in the same loop.
OpenClaw MCP uses Streamable HTTP + x-api-key, not OAuth. Create a project key in Settings → API Keys, then export it in the same shell you will use for openclaw mcp set.
export MERMAIL_API_KEY="sk-proj-YOUR_KEY"Run in the same shell as the export so $MERMAIL_API_KEY expands. Paste sk-proj-YOUR_KEY only if you set the header inline.
# Preferred — expands $MERMAIL_API_KEY
openclaw mcp set mermail '{"url":"https://console.mermail.app/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"x-api-key":"'"$MERMAIL_API_KEY"'"}}'
# Alternative — paste your key inline
# openclaw mcp set mermail '{"url":"https://console.mermail.app/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"x-api-key":"sk-proj-YOUR_KEY"}}'Doctor must report a healthy Mermail connection before you rely on the agent.
openclaw mcp doctor mermail --probe
Ask: "List my Mermail mailboxes" (tool: list_mailboxes)Auth, transports, and how to confirm the connection before you trust the agent.
Open console Settings → API Keys, create a project key (sk-proj-…), and export MERMAIL_API_KEY in the environment your agent uses.
Install from ClawHub (mermail/mermail-compose-email) and keep MCP registered separately with streamable-http + x-api-key.
Ask the agent to list your Mermail mailboxes. A healthy connection exposes the hosted MCP tools, including list_mailboxes.
Yes. Install mermail-cli (Node.js 22+) for scripted Sold API calls: mermail doctor, mermail auth check, mermail workspaces list, mermail mailboxes list. Prefer CLI for batch work and MCP for interactive inbox tools. Destructive CLI commands need --yes when non-interactive.
