Quick Summary: What is this site?

openclaw is a self-hosted gateway that connects messaging channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord to AI agents. It handles sessions, routing, and tool access, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) is just one extension layer inside that setup. This site is not the official docs. It is a practical setup guide for OpenClaw users, with curated, copy-paste-ready configurations, channel guides, security best practices, and troubleshooting steps. Start with Getting Started or browse our Top 10 MCP Servers.

High-Demand Setup Hubs

Cover the four OpenClaw topics that come up most often across public discussion: models, security, automation, and deployment.

Browse All Guides

Providers, local models, and hybrid fallbacks

Clarify Codex, Anthropic, Ollama, and fallback order before model choice and cost become a problem.

Sandboxing, elevated mode, and safer defaults

Explain the real OpenClaw trust boundary so shared bots and private assistants are not treated the same way.

Automation Layer

Hooks, cron jobs, and webhooks

Separate scheduled jobs, internal events, and webhooks so automation stays maintainable.

Deployment Layer

WSL2, Docker, VPS, and managed hosting

Get the host, remote access, and operational baseline right before connecting always-on channels.

Channel Setup Hub (Official Content Integrated)

The homepage now integrates official channels guidance: start with local WhatsApp / Telegram / Discord / Slack guides, then jump to official docs for other channels.

@OpenClaw (openclaw) I need you to set up my "Super Assistant" environment automatically.

Please follow these steps:

1. [Check Environment]: Verify if Node.js (v18+) is installed. If missing, guide me to install it first.

   • @modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch (Web scraping)
   • @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking (Deep reasoning)
