XMTP CLI

What this skill does

Run and script the XMTP CLI for testing, debugging, and interacting with XMTP conversations, groups, and messages. Use when the user needs init, send, list, groups, debug, sync, permissions, or content commands from the CLI.

XMTP CLI is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install XMTP CLI

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for xmtp-cli and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add XMTP CLI with a single command:

openclaw skills add xmtp-cli

This pulls xmtp-cli from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/xmtp-cli/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use XMTP CLI

Once installed, XMTP CLI activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab xmtp-cli-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/xmtp-cli/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
