Config

CLI reference for `openclaw config` (get/set/unset config values)

Config helper: get/set/unset values by path.

Running without a subcommand opens the configuration wizard (same as openclaw configure).

Tutorial.step

Examples

Bash
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
Tutorial.step

Paths

Paths use dot or bracket notation:

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

Use the agent list index to target a specific agent:

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

Values

Values are parsed as JSON5 when possible; otherwise they are treated as strings.

Use --json to require JSON5 parsing.

Bash
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 editing.
