OpenClaw Manager Plugin for Claude Code
If you can use Claude Code, you can use OpenClaw. This plugin democratizes access to powerful AI-to-messaging integrations—no DevOps expertise required.
OpenClaw (formerly known as ClawdBot) is an AI gateway that connects Claude and other LLMs to messaging platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more. This plugin turns Claude Code into your personal OpenClaw expert—handling installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and security hardening through natural conversation.
This is a weekend project built to help more people access OpenClaw. The setup process can be intimidating for newcomers, so this wrapped all that complexity into a conversational interface. Just tell Claude what you want, and it handles the rest.
Why This Plugin?
Setting up OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) manually involves:
- Installing dependencies (Node.js v22.14.0+, Node 24 recommended, systemd)
- Creating OAuth apps and managing tokens
- Configuring channel policies and access controls
- Setting up cron jobs and webhooks
- Hardening security settings
- Debugging connection issues
That's a lot to ask of someone who just wants to chat with Claude from Slack.
With this plugin, you just say what you want:
> /openclaw-manager install on WSL2
> /openclaw-manager setup Slack channel
> /openclaw-manager troubleshoot gateway not responding
> /openclaw-manager security audit
Or start with the interactive onboarding wizard — it interviews you about your goals, channels, environment, and security needs, then generates a personalized setup journey:
> /onboarding
> /onboarding set up a family gateway with WhatsApp and Telegram
Claude handles the rest—running commands, checking configurations, explaining what's happening, and fixing issues.
