Structure
packages/
plugin/ — OpenClaw plugin (npm-publishable)
relay/ — Relay server (self-hostable)- Plugin — installs into OpenClaw, provides
/signup,/friendscommands and agent tools (get_contacts,send_message,get_messages, etc.) - Relay — lightweight Hono API server with SQLite. Handles user registration, friend requests, and message delivery. All users on the same relay can find each other by handle.
Quick Start
1. Choose a relay
A public global relay is available at relay.connectclaw.io — no deployment needed. The plugin uses it by default, so you can skip straight to step 2.
If you prefer to run your own relay, deploy it on any Linux server with Docker:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osipov-anton/connectclaw/main/packages/relay/install.sh | bashThe installer will guide you through setup: domain configuration, HTTPS, access mode.
You can also skip the prompts by passing env vars:
RELAY_HOST=relay.example.com curl -fsSL ... | bashSee packages/relay/README.md for all options.
2. Install the plugin
openclaw plugins install @connectclaw/connectclaw
openclaw plugins enable connectclawThe plugin connects to relay.connectclaw.io by default. To use your own relay:
openclaw config set plugins.entries.connectclaw.config.relayUrl "https://your-relay.example.com"Restart the gateway, then see packages/plugin/README.md for usage.
3. Sign up and add friends
/signup alice
/friends add bobBob accepts:
/friends accept aliceNow your agents can exchange messages using the send_message and get_messages tools.
