What is OpenClaw Plugin Installation?
SignalPipe installs as a standard OpenClaw plugin. A bare `openclaw plugins install signalpipe` installs it from npm; `openclaw plugins install clawhub:signalpipe` installs it from ClawHub. It needs two environment variables before it starts: SIGNALPIPE_API_URL (https://api.signalpipe.io) and SIGNALPIPE_OPERATOR_KEY, the key you create in your console. Then all 29 tools are available in your agent session.
How SignalPipe adds Plugin Installation to OpenClaw
The install process is designed to be frictionless: one command to install, one tool call to add a product, one tool call to add a station, one tool call to run your first scan. Whether a lead appears in the first hour depends on your feeds — a scan only finds something if somebody has recently posted something worth finding.
How to set up Plugin Installation in OpenClaw
Run the install command
In your OpenClaw gateway, run: `openclaw plugins install signalpipe` (from npm), or `openclaw plugins install clawhub:signalpipe` (from ClawHub).
Set the two variables and verify
Set SIGNALPIPE_API_URL=https://api.signalpipe.io and SIGNALPIPE_OPERATOR_KEY to the key from your console, then restart the gateway. Ask your agent to list the SignalPipe tools: there are 20, including signalpipe_score_signal, signalpipe_add_product and signalpipe_get_missions.
Add your first product
Call `signalpipe_add_product` with your product name, a brief description, and 5-10 anchor sentences. This takes under 2 minutes.
Score text, or add a station and scan
Hand text you already have to `signalpipe_score_signal`, or call `signalpipe_add_station` with a subreddit or HN feed URL and then `signalpipe_scout_now` (one on-demand scan per 15 minutes). Check results with `signalpipe_get_missions`.
Frequently asked questions
Is SignalPipe available on ClawHub?
Yes. Install it from ClawHub with `openclaw plugins install clawhub:signalpipe`, or from npm with `openclaw plugins install signalpipe`. The source is public on GitHub, and the ClawHub release is linked to the tagged source commit, so you can audit exactly what you install.
Do I need an API key to install SignalPipe?
You need two values: SIGNALPIPE_API_URL, which is https://api.signalpipe.io, and SIGNALPIPE_OPERATOR_KEY, which you create in your console after subscribing (it is shown once, so save it). Your OpenClaw model key stays inside OpenClaw.
What OpenClaw version does SignalPipe require?
The current release declares compatibility with OpenClaw 2026.4.5 or later. Check `openclaw --version` to confirm.
Can I run SignalPipe on my own infrastructure?
The plugin and daemon are MIT licensed and run on your side — sending happens from your own accounts. The scoring engine (RL weights, LLM swarm) is closed source and managed by us; the open-source pieces connect to the hosted scoring API.
