Set up Clawbrowser with OpenClaw
Watch the OpenClaw setup demo, prepare the browser runtime, connect OpenClaw, and verify your first Clawbrowser session.
Overview
Before OpenClaw can complete browser tasks, it needs a working connection to a browser runtime. This guide accompanies the OpenClaw installation video and separates preparation, integration, and a first-session check. Use it to understand what to verify before starting research or automation.
What happens in the video
The operator pastes the installation instructions into OpenClaw Control. The agent installs the tooling, configures an API key, creates a work profile, and runs verification. Its final chat message reports successful setup and browser verification; the recording does not independently display the verification page.
Before you start
- An environment with OpenClaw available.
- A Clawbrowser account and API key available through your normal credential setup.
- The current installation guide linked below.
Step-by-step guide
Practical steps for adapting the recorded task. The video summary above describes the demonstrated result; these checks guide your own run.
Prepare the environment
Start with an environment with OpenClaw available. Read the current installation guide and choose this environment. Treat the browser runtime and OpenClaw as separate components. Confirm the browser connection before adding a longer agent workflow, so a connection problem is not mistaken for a target website problem.
Install the runtime
Follow the official workflow to install Clawbrowser and its control tooling. The video gives a visual reference for OpenClaw; the installation guide is the source for current commands and packages.
Connect the agent
Complete the integration for OpenClaw and provide the account configuration requested by setup. Confirm that the agent can discover its browser tools before asking it to perform a website task.
Verify a first session
Ask OpenClaw to open a public page and return its title and URL. Check that a browser session starts and the agent reports content from that page. Resolve runtime or connection errors before adding logins or multiple tabs.
Try this prompt
Follow https://clawbrowser.ai/docs/install/ to set up Clawbrowser for OpenClaw in my OpenClaw environment. Use the current instructions, connect the browser tools, then open https://example.com and report the page title and URL. Explain any setup step that fails.
Adapt the placeholders to your task. This is an example prompt, not a transcript of the recording.
Results
- A Clawbrowser runtime prepared for OpenClaw.
- After setup, check the verification result and confirm that your agent can inspect a public page.
Questions about this workflow
Does installing the browser automatically connect OpenClaw?
Treat these as separate checks. Verify that OpenClaw can discover the browser tools and successfully inspect a page.
Should I copy commands from the recording?
Use the current installation guide for commands and downloads. The video is a visual walkthrough and may show an earlier interface.
Put the workflow to work
Prepare the browser connection, then adapt the guide to your task and check its output.
