Integrating OpenClaw Real‑Time Explainability Dashboard into Moltbook
This senior‑engineer‑level tutorial walks you through the prerequisites, installation of OpenClaw, exposing the dashboard API, embedding it as a Moltbook widget, and verification steps.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (>=14)
- Docker
- Access to the ubos.tech WordPress admin panel
- Moltbook instance with API access
OpenClaw Installation
Clone the OpenClaw repository and run the Docker compose file to start the service. Ensure the dashboard is reachable at http://localhost:8080.
Exposing the Dashboard API
Configure OpenClaw to expose its REST API by editing config.yaml and setting api_enabled: true. Restart the container.
Embedding as a Moltbook Widget
In Moltbook, create a new widget and set the source URL to the OpenClaw dashboard endpoint (e.g., http://your‑server.com/openclaw/dashboard). Adjust the iframe dimensions as needed.
Verification Steps
- Navigate to the Moltbook page containing the widget.
- Confirm that the OpenClaw dashboard loads and updates in real time.
- Check the browser console for any CORS or network errors.
