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 → Settings → Developers → 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 → Settings → Developers

• Click "Create Access Token"

• Add to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

``json { "skills": { "entries": { "claw-me-maybe": { "enabled": true, "env": { "BEEPER_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token-here" } } } } } ` Note: BEEPER_API_URL defaults to http://localhost:23373 - 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 👍 to that last message"

"Mark my Discord chats as read"

Your lobster handles the rest through Beeper.

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 → Settings → Developers → Beeper Desktop API

• Check the port: curl http://localhost:23373/health`

"Authentication failed"

• Generate a fresh token in Beeper → Settings → 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 👍 ❤️ 😂 😮 😢 😡
