Use OpenClaw with Marrow MCP

This guide shows you how to set up OpenClaw from scratch and connect it to the Marrow MCP server. Your AI assistant can then query live Amazon seller data using natural language.

What you will build

You will build a working OpenClaw gateway that connects to Marrow’s MCP server. This gives your AI assistant access to Amazon seller accounts, order history, inventory levels, Sponsored Products performance, and sales reports.

Prerequisites

  • A machine running macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2
  • curl available in your terminal
  • An internet connection with outbound HTTPS access

Step 1: Install OpenClaw

Follow the official OpenClaw install guide for your platform. Once installed, confirm everything is working:

Step 2: Get your keys

You need two keys: one for Marrow and one for an LLM provider.

Marrow MCP key

  1. Go to app.marrow.com and create an account.
  2. Purchase a subscription.
  3. Navigate to Integrations > MCP.
  4. Click MCP Key, give it a name and expiry date, then click Create.
  5. Copy the key. You will not be able to see it again.

LLM provider key

OpenClaw needs a large language model to reason and respond. The default is OpenAI. Get a key at platform.openai.com or configure another provider supported by OpenClaw. Export the Marrow MCP key in your shell so the commands below can use it:

Step 3: Register Marrow MCP in OpenClaw

With your Marrow key loaded, register the MCP server:
Confirm that the registration was saved:

Step 4: Start the gateway

If the gateway is not running, start it:
If it was already running before you added the Marrow MCP server, restart it:
Check status and logs if anything looks wrong:

Step 5: Verify the setup

Send a test message through whichever channel you have connected:
If OpenClaw returns seller data, the integration is working.
