One Prompt to Give Your OpenClaw Email Access
Source: Dev.to
Introduction
Every AI agent builder hits the same wall: “Please verify your email.”
Your agent can browse the web, write code, manage calendars, but it can’t receive a simple verification email.
I built MailCat to fix this, and the setup is just one prompt.
Paste the following into Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any AI agent:
Read https://mailcat.ai/skill.md and set up a MailCat mailbox for yourself. Save the token securely.
Your agent will:
- Read the
skill.mddocumentation - Create a mailbox via the API
- Save the token securely
- Check the inbox when needed
- Extract verification codes automatically
No extra configuration or API keys are required—just tell the AI to read the docs and it handles the rest.
Why It Works
If your AI can read documentation, it can integrate itself. The skill.md is written specifically for AI agents:
- Clear structure
- Complete API examples
- Everything an AI needs to integrate
