Quick Start: agentcentral + OpenClaw
Connect your Amazon seller data to OpenClaw in under 5 minutes. Once connected, your OpenClaw agent can query advertising performance, inventory levels, sales velocity, keyword rankings, and more through 87 domain-scoped data tools.
Prerequisites
- An agentcentral account with a connected Amazon account
- Your agentcentral API key (create one from the dashboard, starts with
ac_live_) - OpenClaw installed and onboarded
Let OpenClaw set it up for you
Copy this prompt, paste your API key, and let your agent handle the rest.
1. Add the MCP server
Run a single CLI command to register agentcentral as a remote MCP server:
openclaw mcp set agent-central '{"url":"https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}}'Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your full ac_live_... key.
Using environment variables (recommended)
OpenClaw supports ${VAR_NAME} interpolation in config files. Set the variable in your shell profile:
export AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY="ac_live_..."
Then edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json directly to use the variable (see manual config below). Using the CLI with ${} requires single quotes to prevent shell expansion.
2. Verify the connection
Confirm the server is registered:
openclaw mcp list
You should see agent-central in the output with the configured URL. To inspect the full config:
openclaw mcp show agent-central
3. Start using tools
Open a conversation with your OpenClaw agent and try these examples:
Advertising
“Show me my top 10 campaigns by ACOS for the last 7 days.”
“Which search terms drove the most ad spend last week with zero sales?”
“Lower the bid on keyword ‘dog treats’ to $1.50 in campaign ‘Pet Supplies SP’.”
Inventory
“What’s my current FBA inventory for ASIN B0EXAMPLE?”
“Which SKUs have fewer than 14 days of cover?”
“Show me today’s sales so far.”
Rankings
“How did my keyword rankings change yesterday for ‘wireless earbuds’?”
“Show me rank positions with search volume for my top keywords.”
Finance
“Break down the fees for ASIN B0EXAMPLE.”
“What’s the profitability on my top 5 SKUs?”
Alternative: manual config file
If you prefer editing config directly, add the server to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"agent-central": {
"url": "https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${AGENT_CENTRAL_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
}Troubleshooting
“Unauthorized” or 401 errors
Double-check your API key. You can find your key prefix in the dashboard. If you lost the full key, create a new one from the Keys tab.
Tools not appearing
Make sure the server definition URL ends with /mcp. Run openclaw mcp show agent-central to inspect the saved config.
Slow responses
agentcentral queries pre-materialized BigQuery tables, so most responses return in under a second. If you see timeouts, check your network connectivity or increase the timeout by adding “connectionTimeoutMs”: 30000 to the server definition.
