Fluent

Native OpenClaw plugin packaging for Fluent skills, managed auth, and MCP setup.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:fluent-openclaw

Fluent for OpenClaw

Fluent connects OpenClaw to a personal context layer you own: your kitchen, your closet, your budgets — the real state of your life, not a guess. Ask "what should I cook this week?" or "does this jacket fit what I own?" and your assistant answers from what's actually there.

You stay in control. Nothing is written without your explicit approval, every fact carries its source, and your data is yours to export or delete. Fluent holds the context; your assistant does the thinking — it won't shop, check out, or act on your accounts.

Works with the hosted Fluent service or your own self-hosted runtime. Free while in early access.

This repository is the canonical public source for the published fluent-openclaw package. The embedded openclaw-plugin/fluent bundle shipped inside fluent-oss is a separate OSS helper package with its own metadata and versioning; neither package line is generated from the other.

Release Status

fluent-openclaw is now a public beta release.

package version: 0.1.9
install surface: public
Fluent early access: scoped self-serve account creation when launch controls allow it, currently free
plugin-managed hosted auth: beta
setup command labels: cloud and oss
minimum compatible Fluent MCP contract version: 2026-07-09.fluent-core-v2.0
current reference Fluent MCP contract version: 2026-07-09.fluent-core-v2.0
public profile: 26 tools, 3 resources, 14 explicit writes, and 3 optional render adapters
required hosted scopes: meals:read, meals:write, style:read, style:write, offline_access
packaging decision: standalone fluent-openclaw is the canonical published package; the fluent-oss embedded bundle is a separate OSS helper

Install

Public install:

bash

openclaw plugins install fluent-openclaw

Local checkout install:

bash

openclaw plugins install .

The package targets Node.js 22+ and OpenClaw plugin API 2026.3.24-beta.2 or newer.

For both managed early access and self-hosted use, the supported public OpenClaw install surface is still fluent-openclaw. Do not treat fluent-oss/openclaw-plugin/fluent as the same package release line.

Early-Access Setup

Install fluent-openclaw.
Run openclaw fluent auth login.
Open the printed URL in your browser and finish sign-in.
Bind Fluent early access into OpenClaw with openclaw fluent mcp --track cloud.
Confirm the connection with openclaw fluent doctor.

Run Fluent Yourself

Start Fluent open-source runtime by following the public docs in shaner-git/fluent-oss.
Bind Fluent open-source runtime into OpenClaw:

bash

openclaw fluent mcp --track oss --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --token <oss-token>

Confirm the connection with:

bash

openclaw fluent doctor --track oss --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --token <oss-token>

Start a fresh OpenClaw session so it reloads the updated MCP registry.

Commands

openclaw fluent auth login
openclaw fluent auth refresh
openclaw fluent auth status
openclaw fluent auth logout
openclaw fluent mcp --track cloud
openclaw fluent mcp --track oss --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --token <oss-token>
openclaw fluent doctor
openclaw fluent deep-check

openclaw fluent doctor verifies local auth state, mcp.servers.fluent binding, and the live Fluent compatibility probe. openclaw fluent deep-check is an explicit alias for the same full check.

Practical guidance:

Fluent keeps the same memory and tools across clients. Each assistant may present them differently.
OpenClaw supports the same canonical public Fluent /mcp profile as ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and generic MCP clients, plus a native plugin package with Fluent skills, auth helpers, and MCP setup commands.
The package requires Fluent contract 2026-07-09.fluent-core-v2.0 as both its minimum compatible and current reference contract.
The current public profile is text/data first by default. It exposes Meals and Style, narrow meals-groceries and style-clothing budget context, and only the currently promoted grocery-list, Budgets Envelope Setup, and Style Closet Manager view families.
Health/Wellbeing is reserved and not an active public product surface in this package.
Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and generic MCP clients should use Fluent's tools and complete text-first answers unless the host explicitly proves MCP Apps-style widget support.
OpenClaw should be treated like Claude and Codex for Fluent UI expectations: use Fluent's saved memory and let the host present the results conversationally.

Known Limitations

This package is public beta, not GA.
Fluent is scoped self-serve early access and currently free. Account creation can pause when launch controls or the current cohort cap require it, and plugin-managed hosted auth remains beta.
OpenClaw does not render Fluent rich app views today.
Open-source runtime setup still requires an explicit bearer token.
Browser and retailer execution helpers are intentionally omitted from the OpenClaw package.
Unsafe local browser automation and retailer checkout scripts are not part of this plugin and are not required for standard installs.

Notes

Fluent early access is the managed path; the open-source runtime is available when you want to run Fluent yourself.
The plugin manages hosted auth and rewrites mcp.servers.fluent for OpenClaw.
The bundled openclaw-plugin/fluent copy inside fluent-oss is an OSS helper package, not the published fluent-openclaw artifact.
Browser and retailer execution helpers are intentionally excluded so normal installs do not require unsafe-install overrides.
