Install to OpenClaw

Most agent setups treat MCP as the memory: every turn, the agent calls GitHub or Slack tools to reconstruct what happened. That knowledge stays siloed in the session.

Lobu runs a data pipeline instead. Connectors poll and webhooks push into one append-only org log; watchers and chat agents share the same knowledge graph. MCP here is for recall and write — ingestion still flows through connectors and webhooks.

The OpenClaw plugin layers this graph on top of filesystem memory so multiple OpenClaw agents converge on the same entities instead of separate notebooks.

Layer structured, shareable Lobu memory on top of OpenClaw's built-in filesystem memory. The plugin extends OpenClaw's filesystem plugin and can optionally take over its memory slot, so different OpenClaw agents can talk to each other through the same Lobu graph.

Lobu is open-source but we also have a managed cloud. If you'd like to try, sign in at app.lobu.ai, then point OpenClaw at https://app.lobu.ai/mcp as the MCP endpoint. The same URL works for every workspace. Pick one below to scope it to that example.

Install the plugin

Source: github.com/lobu-ai/lobu/tree/main/packages/openclaw-plugin ·
npm: @lobu/openclaw-plugin

Install command
openclaw plugins install @lobu/openclaw-plugin

Paste this into OpenClaw and it will install Lobu for you.

Prompt for OpenClaw
Connect OpenClaw to Lobu. Run:

  openclaw plugins install @lobu/openclaw-plugin
  lobu login
  lobu memory configure --url https://app.lobu.ai/mcp --org <org-slug>
  lobu memory health --url https://app.lobu.ai/mcp --org <org-slug>

Use Lobu as the multi-user backend for OpenClaw: org-scoped memory, connected sources, watchers, and credentials that stay behind the gateway.

Install in OpenClaw

  1. Install the plugin: openclaw plugins install @lobu/openclaw-plugin.
  2. Log in to Lobu: lobu login.
  3. Wire it into OpenClaw: lobu memory configure --url https://app.lobu.ai/mcp --org (writes the plugin config and, if you opt in, takes over the filesystem memory slot).
  4. Verify: lobu memory health --url https://app.lobu.ai/mcp --org .

The plugin extends OpenClaw's filesystem plugin. If you are self-hosting, replace https://app.lobu.ai/mcp with your custom instance URL (e.g., http://localhost:8787/mcp).

Cross-agent memory

Once two OpenClaw agents point at the same Lobu memory workspace, they read and write the same entities, observations, and decisions. That is how a team of OpenClaw agents stays coherent without copy-pasting context.
