MLX Audio Server skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Local 24x7 OpenAI-compatible API server for STT/TTS, powered by MLX on your Mac.

The MLX Audio Server skill is part of the Data & APIs category — data and API skills that fetch, query, and work with external data sources. You can install it on its own or alongside other data & apis skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the MLX Audio Server skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for mlx-audio-server and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the MLX Audio Server skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add mlx-audio-server

This pulls mlx-audio-server from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/mlx-audio-server/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the MLX Audio Server skill

Once installed, the MLX Audio Server skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Putting audio in front of an audience

MLX Audio Server works with audio. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — pairs audio with footage or generated visuals, burns synced captions, and exports a finished short.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab mlx-audio-server-0.2.2.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/mlx-audio-server/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
