Description
ClawHosters Browser Relay lets your OpenClaw AI agent control browser tabs remotely. Attach any Chrome tab and your
agent can navigate, click, fill forms, take screenshots, and extract data — all through the Chrome DevTools
Protocol.
TWO CONNECTION MODES:
Local Mode — Connect to an OpenClaw instance running on your own machine (ws://127.0.0.1). Same as the official
OpenClaw extension.
Remote Mode — Connect to a ClawHosters-hosted OpenClaw instance over a secure WebSocket connection (wss://). No SSH
tunnels needed. Just paste your instance URL and gateway token.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Install the extension
2. Open the options page and choose your connection mode
3. For Remote: enter your ClawHosters instance URL (e.g. https://mybot.clawhosters.com)
4. Enter your gateway token
5. Click the toolbar icon on any tab to attach it
6. Your OpenClaw agent can now control that tab
SECURITY:
- All remote connections use TLS encryption (wss://)
- Authentication via HMAC-SHA256 derived tokens
- You explicitly choose which tabs to share — nothing is attached automatically
- No data collection, no analytics, no telemetry
- Open source: https://github.com/Yixn/clawhosters-relay
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED:
- debugger: Required to control browser tabs via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This is the core functionality —
forwarding CDP commands between your OpenClaw agent and attached tabs.
- tabs: Track which tabs are attached and their navigation state.
- activeTab: Attach the currently focused tab when you click the toolbar icon.
- storage: Save your connection settings locally.
- alarms: Keepalive timer to maintain the WebSocket connection.
- webNavigation: Re-attach tabs after page navigation.
ClawHosters (clawhosters.com) provides managed hosting for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework with 40,000+ GitHub stars.
