Financial automation for businesses: view accounts, transfers and rules, automate money movement. Official OpenClaw plugin for the Sequence MCP server.
Install
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@getsequence/sequenceSequence for OpenClaw
Give your agent access to your business finances — safely.
Sequence is a financial automation platform for businesses. This is the official Sequence plugin for OpenClaw: it connects your agent to your Sequence account so it can answer questions about your money, set up automations, and propose transfers that you approve.
On the default connection, money never moves without your explicit approval. See How money movement works.
What you can ask
Once installed, these all work in plain language:
Understanding your money
"What's my total cash across all accounts?" "How much did I spend on contractors last month?" "Show me every transfer over $5,000 this quarter."
Automating it
"Set aside 30% of every incoming payment for taxes." "What automation rules do I have running?" "Pause the payroll rule until next month."
Moving it
"Simulate moving $10k from checking into my tax pod." "Move $2,500 to the Emergency Fund." → you get an approval link; nothing moves until you click it
Your agent sees your real accounts, balances, transactions, rules and cards — scoped to whatever your Sequence role already allows.
Requirements
- A Sequence account. Don't have one? Get started.
- Node.js on the machine running your OpenClaw gateway. Sign-in runs as a local process there.
Install
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@getsequence/sequence
openclaw gateway restart
OpenClaw will show you what the plugin is allowed to do and ask you to approve it. Worth reading —
this plugin reaches your finances. Installing in a script or CI? Add --accept-capabilities to
approve without the prompt.
Signing in
Just ask your agent a Sequence question. A browser window opens, you sign in to Sequence once, and that's it — your agent picks up where it left off. Nothing to copy, no API keys to manage, and no separate login command to run.
Your credentials stay on your own machine.
How money movement works
This is the part worth reading carefully.
Reading is immediate. Moving money is not. When your agent proposes a transfer, Sequence returns a pending approval and a link. Nothing happens until a human opens that link and approves it in the Sequence app. Unapproved requests expire on their own after 24 hours.
That means:
- An agent cannot move your money on its own — by design, not by configuration.
- You see the amount, source and destination before anything happens.
- Your agent should tell you a transfer is pending and hand you the link. If it ever claims money has moved without you approving something, treat that as a bug and tell us.
Previewing is free. Ask your agent to simulate a transfer and it runs a full dry run — same validation, same result shape, no approval needed and no money involved. Good for checking a rule before you trust it.
Your role still applies. The plugin doesn't widen your permissions. If your Sequence account is read-only, your agent is read-only too.
One exception, if you go off the default path. Everything above describes the browser sign-in this plugin uses. If you replace it with a Sequence API key (see Custom setup), that key's own scopes and approval settings apply instead — so check them before pointing an agent at it.
What's included
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Accounts & balances | pods, income sources, connected bank accounts, cards |
| Money movement | transfers between your accounts, with approval |
| Automation | create, edit, pause and trigger rules |
| History | transactions, transfers, card activity, audit log |
| Setup | connecting accounts, adding people, issuing cards |
Tools appear in your agent as sequence__*. They come from Sequence directly, so new capabilities
show up without updating this plugin.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
requires capability consent when installing | Re-run with --accept-capabilities, or install interactively and approve. |
| No Sequence tools in your agent | Restart the gateway: openclaw gateway restart. |
| Tools appear but every request fails | Your account may not be set up for agent access yet — check here. |
openclaw mcp login sequence says no such server | Expected — you don't need it. Sign-in happens automatically on your first Sequence request. |
| Tools missing in a sandboxed setup | Allow bundle-mcp in tools.sandbox.tools.alsoAllow. |
SSE stream disconnected in the logs | Harmless, safe to ignore. |
Still stuck? Open an issue or ask your agent to contact Sequence support for you.
Custom setup
Prefer to configure the connection yourself — a different endpoint, your own headers, or an API key
instead of browser sign-in? Add an mcp.servers.sequence entry to your openclaw.json; your own
config always takes precedence over this plugin's defaults. Set enabled: false there to turn the
connection off without uninstalling.
Good to know
This plugin ships no application code of its own. It points OpenClaw at Sequence's hosted service and includes guidance so your agent uses it well.
To reach that service it runs a small open-source helper,
mcp-remote, as a local process on your gateway machine —
that's what handles the browser sign-in and what the Node.js requirement is for. It's pinned to a
specific version rather than tracking the latest.
