🦀 Crabwalk

Real-time companion monitor for OpenClaw (Clawdbot) agents by @luccasveg.

Watch your AI agents work across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Slack in a live node graph. See thinking states, tool calls, and response chains as they happen.

Features

• Live activity graph - ReactFlow visualization of agent sessions and action chains
• Multi-platform - Monitor agents across all messaging platforms simultaneously
• Real-time streaming - WebSocket connection to clawdbot gateway
• Action tracing - Expand nodes to inspect tool args and payloads
• Session filtering - Filter by platform, search by recipient

Installation

Docker (recommended)

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -e CLAWDBOT_URL=ws://host.docker.internal:18789 \
  ghcr.io/luccast/crabwalk:latest

Note: When running Crabwalk in Docker, the OpenClaw gateway typically runs on the host. Use CLAWDBOT_URL=ws://host.docker.internal:18789 so the container can connect. If you're running OpenClaw with bind: loopback and tailscale serve for secure tailnet-only access, you'll need to run the crabwalk container with host networking - replace p:3000:3000 with --network host This allows the container to reach 127.0.0.1:18789 while maintaining the security benefits of loopback-only binding.

Or with docker-compose:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luccast/crabwalk/master/docker-compose.yml
CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=your-token CLAWDBOT_URL=ws://host.docker.internal:18789 docker-compose up -d

If gateway is bind: loopback only, you will need to edit the docker-compose.yml to add network_mode: host

From source

git clone https://github.com/luccast/crabwalk.git
cd crabwalk
npm install
CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=your-token npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000/monitor

Configuration

Requires OpenClaw gateway running on the same machine.

Gateway Token

Find your token in the clawdbot config file:

# Look for gateway.auth.token
cat ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json | rg "gateway\.auth\.token"

Or with jq:

jq '.gateway.auth.token' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

Or copy it directly:

export CLAWDBOT_API_TOKEN=$(python3 -c "import json,os; print(json.load(open(os.path.expanduser('~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json')))['gateway']['auth']['token'])")
