Clawpulse Bridge

Configure and maintain ClawPulse integration for OpenClaw, including token-protected status bridge, Tailscale-safe access, iOS endpoint/token defaults, and troubleshooting for ATS/auth/sync issues. Use when setting up a new machine, rotating tokens, fixing ClawPulse connectivity, or enabling assistant name + token usage + thought metadata in status responses.

ClawPulse

Overview

Set up a secure status bridge from OpenClaw to ClawPulse and keep it working with minimal manual steps.

Dependencies

• Required: openclaw, python3
• Optional (remote access only): tailscale

Quick Workflow

1. One-command bootstrap (recommended): bash scripts/bootstrap_clawpulse.sh --apply.
2. This runs bridge + monitor setup, then prints QR/token for app import.
3. Default bind is remote-ready (0.0.0.0) for mobile devices on Tailscale/LAN.
4. If sync fails, use the troubleshooting checklist.

Step 1 — Bootstrap the bridge

Run:

bash

# Dry-run: generate token/server file and print settings (no background process)
bash scripts/setup_clawpulse_bridge.sh

# Start service (remote-ready default + QR)
bash scripts/setup_clawpulse_bridge.sh --apply

# Optional local-only mode (hardened)
BIND_HOST=127.0.0.1 bash scripts/setup_clawpulse_bridge.sh --apply

Expected outputs:

• endpoint (local or Tailscale format)
• bearer token
• bind host/port and log path

Step 2 — Validate response contract

The bridge response should include at least:

json

{
  "online": true,
  "assistantName": "OpenClaw",
  "workStatus": "工作中",
  "tokenUsage": {"prompt": 1, "completion": 2, "total": 3},
  "thought": "..."
}

Step 3 — Wire the app

Use in ClawPulse:

• URL: http://<tailscale-or-lan-ip>:8787/health
• Token: Bearer token from setup script
• Polling default: 5s (more responsive)

Monitor mode (recommended)

Use monitor as the public endpoint, keep bridge as internal source.

bash

# Start/restart monitor (reads bridge and applies anti-flap state machine)
bash scripts/setup_clawpulse_monitor.sh --apply

Then configure app with monitor endpoint/token (from script output or QR), not bridge token.

Troubleshooting

• HTTP blocked on iOS: ensure app Info.plist has ATS exception for development, or use HTTPS.
• 401 auth error: token mismatch; regenerate and reapply.
• 403 forbidden: source IP is not local/Tailscale; confirm the device is connected to Tailscale.
• Timeout: check bridge process and network reachability.
• Wrong display name: update workspace/IDENTITY.md Name field.

Token rotation

Re-run setup script with ROTATE_TOKEN=1:

bash

ROTATE_TOKEN=1 bash scripts/setup_clawpulse_bridge.sh

Update token in ClawPulse immediately.
