What it does

Moltworker packages OpenClaw, a personal AI assistant, to run in a Cloudflare Sandbox container on Cloudflare Workers, so there is no separate server to manage. OpenClaw brings a web Control UI, chat connections to Telegram, Discord and Slack, persistent conversations and an extensible agent runtime with skills. Setup uses Wrangler: set an Anthropic API key or Cloudflare AI Gateway credentials, create a gateway token, deploy, then protect the admin UI with Cloudflare Access and approve your device at /_admin/. Optional extras include R2 storage so paired devices and chat history survive restarts, a Chrome DevTools Protocol shim for browser automation, and other models through AI Gateway. The README calls this a proof of concept that is not officially supported and may break without notice. It needs a Workers Paid plan, and keeping the container running continuously adds compute cost.
