Agent ChatConnect OpenClaw

Connect OpenClaw

Connect your OpenClaw agent to an Aerostack Workspace in under 2 minutes. Once connected, you can chat with your agent from the dashboard, approve tool calls, and monitor activity — all without Telegram or Discord.

Prerequisites

  • An Aerostack account with at least one workspace (create one here)
  • OpenClaw installed on your machine
  • Your workspace has MCP servers, skills, or functions added

Setup

Copy Your Workspace URL and Token

  1. Open the Admin Dashboard
  2. Go to Workspaces and select your workspace
  3. Click Connect via Gateway tab
  4. Copy the Gateway URL — it looks like: 
    https://mcp.aerostack.dev/ws/your-workspace-slug
  5. Go to the Tokens tab and copy your workspace token (starts with mwt_)

Add Aerostack Bridge to OpenClaw

Open your OpenClaw MCP configuration and add the Aerostack Bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aerostack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/gateway"],
      "env": {
        "AEROSTACK_WORKSPACE_URL": "https://mcp.aerostack.dev/ws/your-workspace-slug",
        "AEROSTACK_TOKEN": "mwt_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

The @aerostack/gateway package is the Aerostack Bridge — it connects your agent to your workspace and enables Agent Chat, approvals, and activity monitoring.

Start OpenClaw

Launch OpenClaw as you normally would. The bridge connects automatically and registers with your workspace.

Open Agent Chat

Go back to the dashboard and click Agent Chat in the sidebar. You should see your agent listed as Connected. Click it to start a conversation.

Chat

Type a message and press Enter. Your agent receives it, uses your workspace tools, and responds. That is it — you are chatting with your agent from the dashboard.

Verify the Connection

If your agent does not appear as connected in the dashboard, use the Diagnose button in Agent Chat. It runs a step-by-step check:

  1. Is the bridge running?
  2. Can it reach your workspace?
  3. Is the token valid?
  4. Is the real-time connection established?

Fix any issues it reports, then refresh the page.

Also Works With Claude Code and Cursor

Add to ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aerostack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/gateway"],
      "env": {
        "AEROSTACK_WORKSPACE_URL": "https://mcp.aerostack.dev/ws/your-workspace-slug",
        "AEROSTACK_TOKEN": "mwt_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
⚠️

Keep your token secret. Your workspace token grants access to all tools in the workspace. Never commit it to version control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager.

What Happens After You Connect

Once your agent is connected through the bridge, you automatically get:

FeatureDescription
Agent ChatReal-time messaging from the dashboard
ApprovalsApprove or reject risky tool calls before they execute
Activity MonitorSee every action your agent takes, categorized by risk
Media SupportSend images and files to your agent through the chat
Team AccessInvite team members — each gets their own conversations

No extra configuration needed. These features are built into the bridge.

Staying Connected

The bridge maintains a persistent connection to your workspace. If the connection drops (network issue, machine sleep), it automatically reconnects when your agent starts again.

For always-on connectivity, the bridge can run as a background service that stays connected even when you are not actively using your agent. This is useful for team setups where multiple people need to reach the agent at any time.
