Akievo
    OpenClaw Setup
    Agent Plan Mode

    Connect OpenClaw to Akievo

    Give your OpenClaw agent persistent, structured planning that survives session resets. Your agent creates the plan. You refine it. The agent adapts.

    Requirements

    • • OpenClaw installed and running (Node 22+)
    • • An Akievo account (free or paid)
    • • An API key with boards:read + boards:write scopes

    Step 1: Install the Akievo Skill

    One command to install from ClawHub

    This installs the Akievo skill with structured agent instructions and MCP server configuration.

    Step 2: Generate an API Key

    Create a scoped API key in your Akievo account

    1. Go to My Account
    2. Click the API Keys tab
    3. Click Create API Key
    4. Name it something like OpenClaw Agent
    5. Select scopes:
      boards:read
      and
      boards:write
    6. Click Create and copy the key (starts with ak_)

    Step 3: Add the Key to OpenClaw

    Store your API key in OpenClaw's encrypted vault

    Replace ak_your_key_here with the API key you just generated. The key is stored encrypted in OpenClaw's vault.

    Step 4: Start Planning

    Tell your agent what you want to accomplish

    That's it! Your agent now has access to Akievo. Try telling it:

    I want to launch my SaaS product in 3 months — create a plan
    Plan a content pipeline: weekly newsletter, daily social posts, and monthly SEO articles
    Build and ship an open-source CLI tool — plan the architecture, development, testing, and launch

    The agent will create a structured board in your Akievo account. You can view and edit it at any time in the Akievo dashboard.

    How Agent Plan Mode Works

    🤖 Agent Creates

    The agent decomposes your goal into phases (lists) and tasks (cards) with priorities, due dates, and dependencies.

    👤 Human Refines

    You open Akievo, reprioritize tasks, add notes, change due dates. The board is the shared contract.

    🔄 Agent Adapts

    Next session, the agent re-reads the board, sees your changes, and picks up where it left off.

    Unlike text-file memory solutions, Akievo gives your agent structured persistence — tasks, checklists, dependencies, priorities, and due dates — all editable by humans.

    Troubleshooting

    Agent says "no tools available"?

    Make sure the skill is installed (openclaw skills list) and your API key is set (openclaw config get AKIEVO_API_KEY).

    Authentication errors?

    Verify your API key hasn't been revoked. Generate a new one in Account → API Keys.

    Agent can read but can't create boards?

    Your API key needs the boards:write scope. Regenerate a key with both boards:read and boards:write.

    Want to use without the skill (raw MCP)?

    See the "Manual Config" tab for direct MCP server configuration.

    Why Akievo for OpenClaw Agents?

    The structured planning layer purpose-built for AI agent workflows

    Persistent Kanban Memory for AI Agents

    Most AI agents lose context between sessions. With Akievo's OpenClaw Kanban integration, your agent gets a persistent memory layer built on structured boards, lists, and cards. Every task, priority, and deadline survives session resets — giving your OpenClaw agent true long-term memory through an organised Kanban board it can read and write to at any time.

    Structured Project Management via MCP

    Akievo turns OpenClaw into a project management powerhouse. Agents can create tasks with priorities, due dates, dependencies, checklists, and assignees — all through the MCP protocol. Whether you need OpenClaw task management for a product launch or MCP project planning for a content pipeline, Akievo provides the structured backbone your agent needs to stay organised and execute methodically.

    Human-AI Collaboration on Shared Plans

    OpenClaw planning works best when humans and agents collaborate. Akievo boards are fully editable by both sides — your agent creates and updates tasks while you reprioritise, add context, or redirect focus. This shared contract model means OpenClaw long-term memory isn't a black box; it's a living plan you both contribute to and can review at any time from any device.

    Beyond Plain-Text Memory Files

    Many agents rely on .md files or unstructured notes as persistent memory — but these become unwieldy fast. Akievo replaces fragile text-file memory with a proper OpenClaw persistent memory solution: typed fields for status, priority, and dates; dependency graphs between tasks; and visual Kanban views that make it easy to see what's done, what's blocked, and what's next. It's the agent memory solution built for real-world project complexity.
