That’s the perfect on-ramp. No coding required, just point-and-click power that already saves you hours every week. But here’s the exciting news that just dropped (and why it matters to every one of you): Peter Steinberger (the guy behind OpenClaw) announced that the **next version of OpenClaw is now a full MCP** — meaning you can swap out Anthropic’s limited message channel MCP and connect your AI agent to a *much wider range of messaging providers* (WhatsApp, MS Teams, Matrix, SMS, and more).
