OpenClaw Plugins Documentation
Overview
Plugins extend OpenClaw with additional capabilities. A plugin is just a small code module that extends OpenClaw with extra features.
Key Capabilities
Plugins can register:
- Gateway RPC methods
- Gateway HTTP handlers
- Agent tools
- CLI commands
- Background services
- Skills (via directories in the plugin manifest)
- Auto-reply commands
Installation & Management
Basic commands for plugin operations:
openclaw plugins list
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call
openclaw plugins enable <id>
openclaw plugins disable <id>
The system loads plugins from multiple locations: config paths, workspace extensions, global extensions, and bundled extensions.
Official Plugins Available
Notable built-in options include voice calling, memory search (Core and LanceDB variants), and messaging channels like Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Nostr, and Zalo.
Configuration
Plugins use a declarative config model with JSON Schema validation. Plugin config is validated using the JSON Schema embedded in openclaw.plugin.json.
Plugin slots enable exclusive categories—only one active simultaneously. For example, memory plugins use the memory slot.
Security Consideration
Plugins run in-process with the Gateway, so treat them as trusted code. Users should only install plugins from reliable sources.
Development
Plugins export either a function or an object with registration logic. The manifest requires an openclaw.plugin.json file with metadata, schema, and UI hints for the Control UI.
