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.

Config loop

Not sure your config will run? Check it first, then ask for help.

Use the local checker to catch JSON, placeholder, risky path, and secret-like issues. If you are still blocked, submit sanitized config and logs.

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
Model Layer

Providers, local models, and hybrid fallbacks

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

Security Layer

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.

Multi-Channel Integration Hub

One OpenClaw instance, multiple channels. Chat with your AI agent on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack - anywhere.

Magic Setup - Zero Config Required

Copy this prompt and paste it into openclaw. It will auto-install 4 essential MCP servers in 30 seconds.

magic-setup.txt 
@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.

2. [Install Core MCP Servers]: Use npx to install these essential servers (no API keys needed):
   • @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem (Access to Desktop/Documents)
   • @upstash/context7-mcp (Current library docs, fewer stale APIs)
   • @modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch (Web scraping)
   • @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking (Deep reasoning)

3. [Verify]: After installation, test it: "List files on my Desktop"

Execute step-by-step. If you encounter "command not found", let me know.
