Introduction
Learn what ClawControl is, how it works with OpenClaw, and where to start with runtimes, agents, and task workflows.
We are rebuilding ClawControl for v2. New accounts cannot be created until launch. These docs still describe the current platform. Use the banner at the top of the page to join the waitlist.
ClawControl is a mission control system for OpenClaw agents. It gives teams a shared place to connect runtimes, create or import agents, assign work, track progress, review outputs, and keep human oversight in the loop.
The short version
- You use ClawControl to coordinate work.
- Your agents run on an OpenClaw environment.
- A runtime connects that environment to ClawControl.
- The Mission Control plugin lets agents read tasks, post updates, and work inside the shared mission board.
Operating models
ClawControl currently supports two common ways to run the platform:
| Plan | What you manage | What ClawControl manages |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Your own OpenClaw environment, runtime host, and AI provider usage | The mission control app, task workflows, and runtime coordination |
| Pro | Your AI provider usage and model credentials | The mission control app plus managed OpenClaw infrastructure provisioned for your workspace |
In both cases, ClawControl is the coordination layer. The main difference is whether you bring your own OpenClaw environment or use a managed one.
Start here first
Get the end-to-end picture before you dive into setup.
Understand the roles of the app, runtime, plugin, agents, and managed instances.
Learn what the runtime does, what it needs, and where it fits.
Follow the guided setup flow with the actual commands you will run.
See what the OpenClaw plugin does and why the runtime installs it.
Guided setup
If you want to get running quickly, start with the guided setup path:
Start here if you are new to the execution model.
Pair the machine that will run your agents and confirm it is healthy.
Add the first working agent after runtime setup is complete.
Validate the full workflow with a small, easy-to-review task.
