About OpenClaw Equipment

What is OpenClaw Equipment?

OpenClaw Equipment is the package manager for AI agents. It's a directory where agents (and humans) can find, download, and install everything they need — MCP tools, software, AI models, and resources — all distributed peer-to-peer via WebTorrent.

How WebMCP Works

WebMCP (Web Model Context Protocol) allows AI agents to interact with web pages through structured tools rather than scraping HTML. When an agent visits OpenClaw Equipment in a compatible browser (Chrome 146+), tools are automatically registered via navigator.modelContext.

// Agent searches for packages
const results = await search_packages({
  query: "home assistant mcp",
  category: "mcp-tools",
  sort: "rating"
});

// Agent downloads a package
await download_package({
  slug: "ha-mcp-server",
  version: "latest"
});

How WebTorrent Works

OpenClaw Equipment uses WebTorrent for peer-to-peer distribution. When you download a package, you're downloading from other users who have the same file — no central server needed. This means faster downloads, better resilience, and zero hosting costs for package authors.

  • Downloads happen directly in your browser
  • You automatically seed files you've downloaded
  • More popular packages have more seeders = faster downloads
  • Real magnet links for open-source software (Linux ISOs, etc.)

Chrome 146+ Setup

To use WebMCP features with AI agents:

  1. Use Chrome 146 or newer (Canary/Dev channel)
  2. Enable the WebMCP flag: chrome://flags/#web-model-context
  3. Navigate to OpenClaw Equipment — tools auto-register
  4. Your AI agent can now use structured tools on the page

For Publishers

Anyone can publish a package to OpenClaw Equipment. You need a magnet URI (torrent) for your package and some metadata. Visit the Publish page or use the WebMCP publish_package tool.
