Self-hosted multi-agent AI runtime with native MCP, structured orchestration, persistent memory, and 23+ LLM providers.
SwarmClaw is a self-hosted multi-agent AI runtime built with TypeScript/Node.js, featuring a Next.js frontend and Electron-based cross-platform desktop app. It natively integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with stdio, SSE, and streamable HTTP transports, enabling per-agent injection and assignment of tools from any MCP server.
On the orchestration layer, SwarmClaw provides structured session capabilities including templated runs, branching, looping, parallel branches, explicit joins, and restart-safe state persistence. Built-in heartbeat loops, scheduling, and background tasks enable autonomous operation. Delegation supports offloading tasks to external Code Agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, etc.) as well as native sub-agents.
The memory system employs a hybrid recall strategy (vector + graph traversal + logs + persistent documents) with automatic reflective memory, communication preference learning, personal profile and boundary memory, and significant event recording. The skill system supports fixed skills, SKILL.md imports, and automatic extraction of reusable skill drafts from real conversations for review and enrollment.
SwarmClaw includes 23+ built-in LLM provider adapters covering mainstream Code Agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Qwen Code, etc.) and cloud APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, xAI, etc.), with custom endpoint compatibility. Connectors span Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Teams, Matrix, and more. Crypto wallet integration (Base/Solana/Ethereum) supports balance queries, transaction simulation, execution, and approval thresholds.
Typical scenarios include personal assistants, virtual companies (CEO→CTO/CFO/CMO/COO hierarchy), multi-role dev team collaboration, research bureau parallel search, content studio pipelines, multi-platform help desks, and distributed OpenClaw fleet deployments.
