You need to define a protocol of communication between both MCUs.

I see! Well my requirements are really quite simple, I just want the ESP to act as a access point for me to connect my laptop, and then from there I just want it to feed commands from my terminal to MSP430, the main goal is to control my RC car's remote

If you want a pass through (also known as transparent bridge) between UART and WiFi, there is a project for called esp-link. I have not used it yet but have been following it for use in the not too distant future.

Another option, included in the Arduino IDE is a simple Telnet to UART example program. It does what esp-link does but esp-link has many more features. See File | Examples | ESP8266WiFi | WiFiTelnetToSerial.
