OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant. Run it in a Superserve sandbox so its actions and shell commands stay isolated from your machine.

​
Via the console

  1. On the Secrets page, create a secret for your model provider (e.g. Anthropic) and paste your API key — you only do this once, and the key never enters the sandbox.
  2. Go to console.superserve.ai and click Create sandbox.
  3. Pick the superserve/openclaw template (OpenClaw and tmux preinstalled).
  4. Under Advanced Options → Secrets, bind that secret to your provider’s key env var (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
  5. Create the sandbox, open its Terminal, and run openclaw onboard to start the setup wizard.

​
Via the SDK

npm install @superserve/sdk
export SUPERSERVE_API_KEY=ss_live_...

import { Sandbox, Secret } from "@superserve/sdk"

// One-time: store your key as a secret. It never enters the sandbox.
await Secret.create({
  name: "anthropic-key",
  value: "sk-ant-...",
  provider: "anthropic",
})

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  name: "openclaw",
  fromTemplate: "superserve/openclaw",
  secrets: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: "anthropic-key" },
})
OpenClaw reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY as usual, but its value is a stand-in token — the real key is attached only on requests to the provider, never exposed to the agent. Open the sandbox in the console, launch the terminal, and run openclaw onboard to start the setup wizard.

​
Keep it running

Start OpenClaw inside tmux so it survives closing the terminal or browser tab: 
tmux new -s openclaw
openclaw gateway run
Press Ctrl+b then d to detach. Reattach later with: 
tmux attach -t openclaw

​
Persist sessions

await sandbox.pause()
await sandbox.resume()
