OpenClaw Operator UI

A standalone plugin that provides a web-based management interface for OpenClaw, designed for non-technical operators.

Features

• Agent Management — Create, edit and delete agents; edit all workspace markdown files (IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, etc.)
• Channel Monitoring — View channel status, account connections, and manage logout
• Group Bindings — Visualise which groups are routed to which agents across channels
• Skill Management — Browse skills, toggle enable/disable, install missing dependencies directly from the UI
• Real-time Test Chat — Stream responses in a chat interface to test agents live
• Session Management — View, reset and delete conversation sessions
• Cron Jobs — Monitor and control scheduled tasks
• System Settings — Edit openclaw.json configuration, view system health and available models
• Token Authentication — Secured via Gateway token (obtainable from the Dashboard)

Installation

From npm

openclaw plugins install @futurx/openclaw-operator-ui

From local path

openclaw plugins install /path/to/futurclaw-operator-ui

From Git

openclaw plugins install git+https://git.futurx.cc/futurx/futurclaw-operator-ui.git

After installation, restart the Gateway. The Operator UI will be available at:

http://localhost:18789/operator

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw >= 2026.1.26
• Node.js >= 22
• Gateway must have token authentication configured (this is the default). The token can be found in the Dashboard settings or in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under gateway.auth.token. If no token is configured, the Gateway auto-generates one on first startup.

Client ID

This plugin connects to the Gateway using webchat-ui as its client ID for maximum compatibility — it works on any OpenClaw instance without requiring device identity or secure context. A dedicated openclaw-operator-ui ID has been proposed upstream (PR #29359) and will be adopted in a future release once merged.

Development

# Install dependencies and build the frontend
npm run build

# Or develop with hot-reload (proxy to local Gateway)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev

The dev server proxies WebSocket connections to ws://localhost:18789.
