Post to Pinterest from OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway that runs on your own machine and connects an AI agent to chat apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord and iMessage, so you can message your assistant from anywhere. A video pin with a cover picture, on one of your boards.

For setups without sign-in. The key works like a password, so keep it to yourself.
- In Kreatix, open Settings > AI agent and create a key. It is shown once.

A video pin with a cover picture, on one of your boards.
| Setting | Values | Needed | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
media_url | URL | Yes | The pin's video: a link from your Kreatix library or a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook post, which Kreatix imports first. |
cover_url | URL | Yes | The pin's cover, a picture stored in Kreatix. With an imported link and no cover, Kreatix uses the link's thumbnail; a link without one is refused. |
caption | string (max 5000) | No | The first 100 characters become the pin title and the first 800 the description. |
Ask in plain words
A message to your OpenClaw assistant from any chat app it is connected to, or from the Control UI chat. For example: "Plan this video for my brand group tomorrow at 18:00."
- Pin my newest video to Pinterest tomorrow at 20:00 with the cover it already has.
- Post this YouTube link to my Pinterest at noon.
- Move the Pinterest post planned for Saturday to Sunday 11:00.
Pinterest rules to know
- A Pinterest video needs a cover picture, or schedule_post refuses it.
- With an imported link, the link's thumbnail becomes the cover; a link without one is refused for Pinterest.
- The pin title is the caption's first 100 characters and the description its first 800.
- The pin goes to the first board Pinterest lists; with no board, Kreatix creates one named Kreatix.
- Pinterest takes no text-only post, and get_stats has no numbers for it.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Plan posts from your phone: message OpenClaw on WhatsApp or Telegram, and your Gateway calls Kreatix.
- Saving a server doesn't prove it works. openclaw mcp doctor kreatix --probe connects and lists the tools Kreatix offers.
- Keep the key out of config literals: write "Bearer ${KREATIX_API_KEY}" in the header and set the variable for the Gateway. openclaw mcp doctor warns about keys written in plain text.
- The agent checks the pages, caption and time with you before it posts. It cannot delete pages, read messages or change your account, and you can remove it any time in Settings > AI agent.
Questions
How do I post to Pinterest from OpenClaw?
Connect OpenClaw to Kreatix once, as shown above. Then ask it to post: name your Pinterest pages or a page group, the video or text and the time. OpenClaw shows you the plan and posts after you say yes.
Why does my Pinterest video need a cover?
Pinterest refuses a video pin without one, and the refusal reads like a broken login. Kreatix asks for cover_url up front, or takes the thumbnail of a link it imports.
Which board does the pin go to?
The first board Pinterest lists for the account. If the account has no board, Kreatix creates one named Kreatix. The agent can't pick a board.
How long can the caption be?
Up to the tool's 5,000 characters, but Pinterest gets the first 100 as the title and the first 800 as the description.
Can my agent see how my pins perform?
No. get_stats measures Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube; Pinterest has no numbers in Kreatix.
MCP server or the Kreatix skill?
Either works. The MCP server gives OpenClaw Kreatix's seven tools directly and supports Sign in with Kreatix. The ClawHub skill (@abrahimceylan/kreatix) teaches the agent to call the same server with curl and your key in KREATIX_API_KEY.
How do I sign out?
Run openclaw mcp logout kreatix. It removes the saved sign-in and keeps the server entry. To cut access for good, also delete the key in Kreatix under Settings > AI agent.
Kreatix schedules one video to every page you run, each with its own platform settings.
