Quick Start

Quick Start: agentcentral + OpenClaw

Connect your Amazon seller data to OpenClaw in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

An agentcentral account with a connected Amazon account (all Amazon marketplaces supported)
An API key from the dashboard (starts with ac_live_)
OpenClaw installed

Let OpenClaw set it up for you

Copy this prompt into OpenClaw. It will set up the server and, if needed, tell you how to set AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY locally.

1. Set your local key and add the MCP server

Export your agentcentral API key in the shell OpenClaw uses:

export AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY="ac_live_..."

Then register the MCP server. Single quotes around the JSON keep OpenClaw from expanding the variable into your raw key.

openclaw mcp set agentcentral '{"transport":"streamable-http","url":"https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY}"}}'

Why use AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY

OpenClaw resolves AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY from your local environment when it connects. Your raw ac_live_... key stays out of chat history and out of shared config.

The variable must be set before OpenClaw connects. If you add it to a shell profile while OpenClaw is running, restart OpenClaw before verifying.

2. Verify the connection

Confirm the server is registered:

openclaw mcp list

You should see agentcentral listed with its URL. To inspect the full config:

openclaw mcp show agentcentral

Alternative: manual config file

If you prefer editing config directly, add the server to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "agentcentral": {
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "url": "https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer ${AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

“Unauthorized” or 401 errors

Confirm AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY is exported in the environment OpenClaw uses. Check your key prefix in the dashboard. If you lost the full key, create a new one from the Keys tab and restart OpenClaw after updating the variable.

Tools not appearing

Verify the server URL ends with /mcp. Run openclaw mcp show agentcentral to inspect the saved config.

Slow responses

Most tool calls return in under a second. If you see timeouts, check your network connection or add “connectionTimeoutMs”: 30000 to the server definition.
