Tolstoy MCP Integration

Connect OpenClaw to Tolstoy — the video commerce platform for e-commerce brands. This skill configures OpenClaw to use Tolstoy's MCP server, giving the AI access to create and manage video widgets, media, products, and publishing.

Prerequisites

• A Tolstoy account at platform.gotolstoy.com
• OpenClaw installed and configured

Setup

Option A: Automatic (recommended)

From the skill directory, run:

node setup.js

This adds the Tolstoy MCP server to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or $OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH if set). If the config file doesn't exist, it will be created.

Option B: Manual

Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or your OpenClaw config path) and add to mcpServers:

"tolstoy": {
  "type": "http",
  "url": "https://apilb.gotolstoy.com/mcp/v1/mcp",
  "auth": "oauth"
}

If your OpenClaw version uses SSE transport instead, use "type": "sse".

Restart OpenClaw

Restart OpenClaw (or reload config if supported) so it picks up the new MCP server.

Authenticate

When you first use a Tolstoy tool, OpenClaw will redirect you to log in to your Tolstoy account. You will:

1. Sign in at platform.gotolstoy.com (or be redirected there)
2. Select the workspace you want to connect
3. Authorize the MCP client

After authorization, the connection persists for future sessions.

Available Tools

Once connected, OpenClaw has access to Tolstoy's full tool set:

Category	Tools
Widgets	Create, update, publish, delete player and shopper widgets
Media	List, search, get media from your library
Products	Search products, list catalog, get product details
Studio	Generate AI images, animate images, text-to-video, edit videos
Templates	List templates, run AI templates, get template details
Publishing	Publish assets to Instagram, TikTok Shop, Shopify, Meta Ads
Analytics	Query store and performance data
Brands	Search brands and stores

Example Prompts

• "Create a shopper widget for my product catalog"
• "Generate an AI video from this product image"
• "List my Tolstoy widgets and their publish status"
• "Search my media library for videos tagged with 'summer'"
• "Publish this asset to my Shopify store"

Troubleshooting

Connection fails: Ensure the URL is exactly https://apilb.gotolstoy.com/mcp/v1/mcp and that your OpenClaw supports OAuth for remote MCP servers.

Auth redirect fails: Some MCP clients require configuring allowed redirect URIs. Check Tolstoy MCP docs for the latest setup.

No tools available: You must complete the OAuth flow first. Try a simple prompt like "list my Tolstoy widgets" to trigger the login redirect.
