`openclaw config`

What it does: Read and write config keys. Your config lives in ~/.clawdbot/openclaw.json. Get/set/unset values by path. Run without a subcommand to open the configure wizard (same as openclaw configure).

Examples

Run this:


openclaw config get browser.executablePath
openclaw config set browser.executablePath "/usr/bin/google-chrome"
openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "2h"
openclaw config set agents.list[0].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
openclaw config unset tools.web.search.apiKey

Paths

Paths use dot or bracket notation:


openclaw config get agents.defaults.workspace
openclaw config get agents.list[0].id

Use the agent list index to target a specific agent:


openclaw config get agents.list
openclaw config set agents.list[1].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"

Values

Values are parsed as JSON5 when possible; otherwise they are treated as strings. Use --json to require JSON5 parsing.


openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "0m"
openclaw config set gateway.port 19001 --json
openclaw config set channels.whatsapp.groups '["*"]' --json

Restart the gateway after edits.
