Install
openclaw plugins install @agent-wechat/wechat
See details here: https://github.com/thisnick/agent-wechat/tree/main/packages/openclaw-extension
You'll need a running agent-wechat server — either self-host via Docker or use the hosted service (see below).
Why this exists
WeChat is the one major messaging platform that OpenClaw couldn't reach — no official API, no bot framework, aggressive detection of unofficial clients.
What it does
- Text messages (send/receive)
- Image messages (send/receive — handles WeChat's custom dat encryption automatically)
- Voice message support
- Group chat support with contact/room directory
- Login management via
wechat_loginagent tool (QR code generation + status monitoring) - Real-time message delivery via WebSocket
- One container = one isolated WeChat instance
