OpenClaw Integration

OpenClaw is an autonomous multi-channel personal AI agent designed to execute commands, automate tasks, and coordinate workflows across Telegram, Discord, Slack, and terminal environments. You can run OpenClaw using two primary modes: Hosted Cloud Agent (zero-maintenance deployment in the Neosantara dashboard) or Self-Hosted CLI using the @neosantara/openclaw-provider plugin.

Deployment Options

Option	Execution Environment	Setup Requirements	Primary Use Case
Hosted Cloud Agent	Cloud E2B microVM	Telegram bot token only	24/7 personal assistant on Telegram with automated scale-to-zero.
Self-Hosted CLI	Local machine or server	Node.js & OpenClaw CLI	Local terminal coding, file system modifications, and custom tools.

Option 1: 1-Click Hosted Cloud Agent (Dashboard)

The fastest way to deploy OpenClaw without maintaining server infrastructure is through Neosantara’s managed cloud runtime.

1. Get a Bot Token and Owner ID

Open @BotFather on Telegram, send /newbot, and copy the generated Bot Token.
Open @userinfobot on Telegram to find your numerical User ID.

2. Deploy from the Dashboard

Navigate to app.neosantara.xyz/cloud/openclaw.
Enter your Bot Token and Telegram Owner ID.
Select a primary model (such as deepseek-v4.1-flash) and an optional fallback model.
Click Deploy Agent.

The isolated E2B microVM boots in ~700ms whenever an incoming Telegram message arrives, and automatically pauses after 30 minutes of inactivity with zero compute cost.

Option 2: Self-Hosted CLI & Terminal

To run OpenClaw directly on your local workstation or VPS, install the official Neosantara plugin.

1. Install Neosantara Provider Plugin

Run the following command in your terminal:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@neosantara/openclaw-provider

2. Configure Credentials

Set your Neosantara API key via environment variables:

export NEOSANTARA_API_KEY="nsk_your_api_key_here"

Alternatively, supply the key during interactive onboarding:

openclaw onboard --neosantara-api-key "nsk_your_api_key_here"

3. Select a Model

Set OpenClaw to route through the gateway using the neosantara/ namespace:

openclaw model set neosantara/deepseek-v4.1-flash

4. Run OpenClaw

Launch the daemon gateway or enter interactive terminal mode:

# Start the background daemon
openclaw gateway

# Launch the interactive terminal interface
openclaw tui

Recommended Models

Use Case	Model Identifier	Context Window	Characteristics
Reasoning & Autonomous Coding	`deepseek-v4.1-flash`	1M tokens	High tool calling accuracy for complex shell commands and file changes.
Low Latency & Fast Turnaround	`gemini-3.8-flash`	1M tokens	Minimal response latency suited for interactive Telegram messaging.
Cost-Sensitive Tasks	`gpt-5.4-mini`	128k tokens	Budget-friendly option for routine summaries and daily alerts.

Example Command Execution

Once connected via Telegram or TUI, assign autonomous tasks to OpenClaw:

> Check open issues in our GitHub repository, summarize top priorities, and draft an update.

OpenClaw queries the Neosantara gateway, executes relevant command tools or web lookups, and returns structured findings.
