openclaw-channel-dmwork

DMWork channel plugin for OpenClaw. Connects via WuKongIM WebSocket for real-time messaging.

Repository: https://github.com/yujiawei/dmwork-adapters

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• OpenClaw installed and configured
• A bot created via BotFather in DMWork (send /newbot to BotFather)

Install as OpenClaw Extension

git clone https://github.com/yujiawei/dmwork-adapters.git
cp -r dmwork-adapters/openclaw-channel-dmwork ~/.openclaw/extensions/dmwork
cd ~/.openclaw/extensions/dmwork && npm install

Configure

Add to your ~/.openclaw/config.yaml:

channels:
  dmwork:
    botToken: "bf_your_token_here"   # Bot token from BotFather
    apiUrl: "http://your-server:8090" # DMWork server API URL
    # wsUrl: "ws://your-server:5200" # Optional — auto-detected from register if omitted

Configuration fields:

• botToken (required): Bot token from BotFather (bf_ prefix)
• apiUrl (required): DMWork server API URL, e.g. http://192.168.1.100:8090
• wsUrl (optional): WuKongIM WebSocket URL. Auto-detected from register if omitted.

Run

openclaw gateway restart

The plugin is loaded automatically by OpenClaw when the gateway starts.

What it does

1. Registers the bot with the DMWork server via REST API
2. Connects to WuKongIM WebSocket for real-time message receiving
3. Auto-reconnects on disconnection
4. Sends a greeting to the bot owner on connect
5. Dispatches incoming messages to OpenClaw's message handler
6. Supports streaming responses (start/send/end), typing indicators, and read receipts

As an OpenClaw Plugin

The index.ts exports a standard OpenClaw plugin object. When loaded by OpenClaw:

• register(api) is called automatically
• api.runtime is injected for logging and lifecycle management
• api.registerChannel() registers the DMWork channel plugin
• Configuration is read from channels.dmwork in OpenClaw's config

The plugin uses the ChannelPlugin SDK interface with support for:

• Direct messages and group chats
• Multi-account configuration via channels.dmwork.accounts
• Config hot-reload on channels.dmwork prefix changes

Disconnect

To disconnect the bot, send /disconnect to BotFather in DMWork. This invalidates the current IM token and kicks the WebSocket connection.
