Install on OpenClaw & Compatible Platforms

Install Panguard on your Claw-based AI agent or compatible MCP platform in under 60 seconds. No account, no login, no configuration.

Quick Start (All Platforms)

The fastest way — install and configure everything in one line:

curl -fsSL https://get.panguard.ai | bash && panguard setup

Or if you already have Panguard installed:

panguard setup

This auto-detects OpenClaw, QClaw, WorkBuddy, NemoClaw, ArkClaw, and all other AI platforms on your machine, then injects the correct configuration for each.

OpenClaw

OpenClaw uses a native Skill system (not MCP). Panguard installs as a skill at ~/.openclaw/skills/panguard/.

Auto Setup

npx panguard setup --platform openclaw

Manual Setup

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/panguard
npx panguard setup --platform openclaw

After setup, restart OpenClaw. You can then use Panguard commands directly in OpenClaw:

> Audit the skills in this project
> Scan my machine for vulnerabilities
> Start real-time protection
> Show security status

Verify

ls ~/.openclaw/skills/panguard/SKILL.md

If the file exists, Panguard is installed.

QClaw (Tencent)

QClaw uses the standard MCP protocol. Panguard adds an MCP server entry to ~/.qclaw/mcp.json.

Auto Setup

npx panguard setup --platform qclaw

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to ~/.qclaw/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

After setup, restart QClaw. Panguard’s 12 MCP tools are now available:

Tool	What It Does
`panguard_audit_skill`	Audit a skill before installing
`panguard_scan`	Run a security scan
`panguard_status`	Show Guard status
`panguard_guard_start`	Start 24/7 protection
`panguard_threat_search`	Search threat intelligence

Verify

cat ~/.qclaw/mcp.json

You should see the panguard entry under mcpServers.

WorkBuddy

WorkBuddy uses the standard MCP protocol. Panguard adds an MCP server entry to ~/.workbuddy/.mcp.json.

Auto Setup

npx panguard setup --platform workbuddy

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to ~/.workbuddy/.mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

After setup, restart WorkBuddy. Panguard’s 12 MCP tools are now available.

Verify

cat ~/.workbuddy/.mcp.json

You should see the panguard entry under mcpServers.

NemoClaw

NemoClaw uses the standard MCP protocol. Panguard adds an MCP server entry to ~/.nemoclaw/mcp.json.

Auto Setup

npx panguard setup --platform nemoclaw

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to ~/.nemoclaw/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

ArkClaw

ArkClaw uses the standard MCP protocol. Panguard adds an MCP server entry to ~/.arkclaw/mcp.json.

Auto Setup

npx panguard setup --platform arkclaw

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to ~/.arkclaw/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@panguard-ai/panguard-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

After setup, restart ArkClaw. Panguard’s 12 MCP tools are now available.

Verify

cat ~/.arkclaw/mcp.json

You should see the panguard entry under mcpServers.

Troubleshooting

Platform not detected

If panguard setup says “not found” for OpenClaw or QClaw:

Make sure the app is installed and has been opened at least once
Check the config directory exists: ls ~/.openclaw or ls ~/.qclaw
Use --platform flag to force: npx panguard setup --platform openclaw

MCP tools not showing in QClaw

Restart QClaw completely (quit and reopen) 2. Verify config: cat ~/.qclaw/mcp.json 3. Make sure npx is on your PATH: which npx

OpenClaw skill not working

Restart OpenClaw 2. Verify: ls ~/.openclaw/skills/panguard/SKILL.md 3. Check that panguard CLI is available: npx panguard --version

Remove Panguard

npx panguard setup --remove --platform openclaw
npx panguard setup --remove --platform qclaw
