MeshCentral ↔ OpenClaw Integration

Project to design, build, and safely operate a local integration between Rob's MeshCentral deployment and OpenClaw.

Vision

Allow OpenClaw to use MeshCentral as a controlled remote-management interface for homelab systems—starting with read-only inventory and diagnostics, then adding explicitly confirmed remediation actions.

Project status

Stage: Discovery / design
Created: 2026-08-24
Owner: Rob
Project manager: Clawdia
Working name: MeshCentral OpenClaw Bridge

Execution model

This project will be run as a supervised multi-agent build:

• Research agent: investigates MeshCentral's supported integration surfaces, existing maintained projects, version compatibility, and security implications.
• Implementation agent: creates the bridge code, tests, schemas, and deployment scaffolding in the project workspace.
• Review/test agent: independently reviews the implementation, runs available tests, checks security controls, and reports defects or missing coverage.
• Clawdia / project manager: decomposes work, assigns isolated scopes, reviews results, tracks progress, prevents stalled work from being silently accepted, and brings only decisions requiring Rob's input back to Rob.

Agents must not modify infrastructure, MeshCentral, Proxmox, endpoints, or external systems during development unless Rob explicitly authorizes that action. The initial work is research, local code, documentation, mocks, and tests only.
