Generate an OpenClaw API Key
In the BestYou app, you can create a secure link for OpenClaw to use. Go to More, Connected Apps, OpenClaw and generate a new API key. The plaintext key is shown exactly once so copy it and store it securely.




Set your environment variable:
export BESTYOU_API_KEY="by_mcp_live_..."Add this to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) so it persists across sessions.
Install the BestYou Skill & Configure MCP
Install the BestYou connector skill, then configure mcporter to bridge your agent to BestYou’s health intelligence via MCP.

clawhub install bestyouManual install
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills

npm install -g mcporterAdd BestYou as an MCP server:
mcporter config add bestyou \
--url https://mcp.bestyou.ai/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $BESTYOU_API_KEY"Verify the connection:

Ask your OpenClaw agent:
“What's my day look like?”
If connected correctly, your agent will pull your daily brief, readiness score, and action plan from BestYou.
Having trouble? Check these common issues:
- “Account not linked”Open BestYou app → More → Connected Apps → verify OpenClaw is connected
