One skill. Twelve platforms. Infinite possibilities.

Quick Start

1. Get Beeper

Don't have Beeper yet? [Download it free]() - it's the app that brings all your chats together.

2. Enable the Beeper Desktop API

Open Beeper Desktop โ†’ Settings โ†’ Developers โ†’ Toggle "Beeper Desktop API" ON

That's it. Your lobster now has a direct line to all your chats.

3. (Optional) Add Your Beeper Token

For smoother automation, grab an access token:

  • Beeper Desktop โ†’ Settings โ†’ Developers

  • Click "Create Access Token"

  • Add to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:
  • {
      "skills": {
        "entries": {
          "claw-me-maybe": {
            "enabled": true,
            "env": {
              "BEEPER_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Note: BEEPER_API_URL defaults to - no need to set it unless you're running Beeper on a different port. ## Talk to Your Lobster Once set up, just ask naturally: > "Show me my unread messages in Beeper" > "Search my Beeper chats for messages about dinner plans" > "Send a WhatsApp message to John saying I'm on my way" > "What's the latest in my Signal group chat?" > "Message the #general channel on Slack: standup in 5 minutes" > "Find all messages from Lisa in the last week" > "React with ๐Ÿ‘ to that last message" > "Mark my Discord chats as read" Your lobster handles the rest through Beeper. ## The Technical Stuff *(For those who like to peek under the shell)* ### Beeper API Basics Base URL: (Beeper Desktop must be running)

    Good to Know

    Beeper Desktop must be running - The API lives inside Beeper Desktop. No Beeper = no connection.

    It's local & private - The Beeper API runs entirely on your machine. Your messages never touch external servers through this skill.

    Respect the networks - This is for personal use. Sending too many messages might trigger rate limits on WhatsApp, etc.

    iMessage needs macOS - Apple gonna Apple.

    Reactions vary by network - Not all platforms support all emoji. Beeper handles the translation.

    Troubleshooting

    "Can't connect to Beeper"

  • Is Beeper Desktop running? Look for it in your menu bar.

  • Is the API enabled? Beeper โ†’ Settings โ†’ Developers โ†’ Beeper Desktop API

  • Check the port: `curl
  • "Authentication failed"

  • Generate a fresh token in Beeper โ†’ Settings โ†’ Developers

  • Make sure it's in your config (no extra spaces!)

  • Or just remove the token - Beeper will prompt for OAuth
  • "Chat not found"

  • Make sure the chat exists in your Beeper app

  • Try different search terms

  • Check that the account (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) is connected in Beeper
  • "Reaction not supported"

    Some networks have limited emoji support. Try a more common emoji like ๐Ÿ‘ โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ˜ข ๐Ÿ˜ก
