Extend OpenClaw: Install Community Plugins in Seconds

Building an AI agent often feels like assembling a puzzle where a few pieces are always missing. You find yourself writing the same boilerplate code for different platforms instead of focusing on the actual logic of your application.

OpenClaw community plugins solve this by providing ready-to-use extensions for your projects. These third-party packages add new channels, tools, providers, or other capabilities to OpenClaw, and you can install them with a single CLI command. These plugins are built and maintained by the community, published on ClawHub or npm, and ready for you to use immediately.

ClawHub is the canonical discovery surface for community plugins. You should not open docs-only PRs just to add your plugin here for discoverability; publish it on ClawHub instead.

Terminal window
openclaw plugins install <package-name>

OpenClaw checks ClawHub first and falls back to npm automatically.

Sharing your own tools with the community is a great way to contribute to the project. We welcome community plugins that are useful, well-documented, safe, and reliable to operate.

  1. Publish your work to ClawHub or npm. Your plugin must be installable via openclaw plugins install <package-name>. Publishing to ClawHub is the preferred method. You can check the building plugins guide for more details.
  2. Host your source code on GitHub. The code must be in a public repository that includes setup documentation and an active issue tracker.
  3. Keep your documentation updates separate from discovery. You do not need a docs PR just to make your plugin discoverable; use ClawHub for that.
  4. Open a docs PR only when OpenClaw source docs need an actual content change. This includes correcting install guidance or adding documentation that belongs in the main set.

We want to make sure every plugin provides a great experience for the user. These requirements help ensure that every plugin is safe, documented, and easy to maintain for everyone.
