Type

interface

Runtime

python

Description

Lightweight Flask web interface that forwards chat requests to a configured OpenClaw HTTP endpoint.

The gateway provides a browser chat UI and stores minimal local state.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• A reachable OpenClaw instance

Configuration

Configuration is done using environment variables.

Typical values:

OPENCLAW_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:18789

OPENCLAW_AUTH=

OPENCLAW_AGENT=main

OPENCLAW_CHANNEL=web-gateway

OPENCLAW_MODEL=default

DEFAULT_USER=family

PORT=5002

OPENCLAW_AUTH is optional and only required if the upstream OpenClaw endpoint requires authentication.

Run

python app.py

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:5002

Notes

The application may create small local runtime files in directories such as:

memory/

state/

These directories are intended for local runtime data and should not be committed to version control.
