What just crawled into your editor?

Clawd is a VS Code / Cursor / VSCodium extension that reads .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json and ships the three production plugins:

Plugin	Vibe	Ships in the VSIX
clawd	Six-law harness, OODA trading, Cheshire Terminal MCP, MoonPay signed on-ramp URLs, Solana agent catalog	yes
clawd-code	Solana coding agent, paper-gated perps, Helius / DFlow / Jupiter / Phantom, Agent Arena	yes
helius	Helius + core-ai: MCP, CLI, DAS / Sender, DFlow / Jupiter / Phantom / OKX, Pump, Grok, Solana docs	yes
starter-simple / starter-advanced	Author templates (rules, skills, agents, hooks, MCP)	repo only

On Cursor, activation copies those plugins into ~/.cursor/plugins/local. On VS Code / VSCodium, you still get the MCP servers, settings, status bar, and activity bar. Same lobster. Different shells.

     🦞  marketplace.json
           ├─ clawd
           ├─ clawd-code
           └─ helius  ──►  ~/.cursor/plugins/local
                           + MCP provider "Clawd MCP Servers"
                           + activity bar + status bar

Quick start (the fun way)

1. F5 it

Press F5 (Run Extension). An Extension Development Host pops open with this folder loaded. Look left: the Clawd activity bar. Look down: the Clawd status badge.

2. Or install the .vsix

npm install
npm run package          # → clawd-1.0.0.vsix

Then Extensions → ⋯ → Install from VSIX… → reload.

3. If Cursor forgot the plugins

Command Palette → Clawd: Install Cursor Plugins. Reload if they don't show under Customize.

Command Palette → Clawd: Install Cursor Plugins. Status bar badge shows live plugin + MCP count.

Inside the shell

The extension is JavaScript — no compile step. Architecture is the Solana-VS-Code playbook (status bar, commands, feature modules) without copying anyone else's scanners.

Surface	What it does
Activity bar → Clawd	Marketplace name, plugin install state, MCP ready vs needs-setup
Status bar	Clawd badge → Clawd: Show Status
Output channel	Timestamped install / settings / activation logs
MCP provider	Unions every bundled plugin's mcp.json (deduped)

Command palette

Command	Job
Clawd: Install Cursor Plugins	Copy bundled plugins into ~/.cursor/plugins/local
Clawd: Open Cursor Plugins Folder	Open that folder
Clawd: Show Status	Dump marketplace + plugin + MCP status to the Clawd output channel
Clawd: Show Output	Focus the log
Clawd: Open Settings	Jump to clawd.*
Clawd: Refresh	Re-read settings, tree, and MCP definitions
Clawd: Focus Explorer	Open the activity bar view

HTTP MCP servers (Solana docs, DFlow, ZK Compression, Cheshire Terminal, Phoenix, PayBox, Robinhood) register as soon as the plugin catalog has them. Local stdio servers (Helius, Pump, Grok, Clawd Code, Zero, ClawdBrowser) wait until the matching path / key exists.

Settings / env (feed the lobster)

Setting	Env	Why
clawd.installCursorPluginsOnActivate	—	Auto-copy plugins on activate (default true)
clawd.heliusApiKey	HELIUS_API_KEY	Helius + Pump MCP
clawd.solanaRpcUrl	SOLANA_RPC_URL	RPC (defaults to mainnet)
clawd.cheshireApiKey	CHESHIRE_API_KEY	Bearer for https://cheshireterminal.ai/mcp
clawd.xaiApiKey	XAI_API_KEY	Clawd Grok MCP
clawd.coreAiRoot	CORE_AI_ROOT	helius-mcp, Pump MCP, clawd-grok
clawd.cheshireTerminalRoot	CHESHIRE_TERMINAL_ROOT	Cheshire mcp-server
clawd.clawdCodeRoot	CLAWD_CODE_ROOT	Clawd Code CLI (dist/cli.js)
clawd.zeroClawdRoot	ZERO_CLAWD_ROOT	zero-clawd MCP
clawd.clawdBrowserRoot	CLAWDBROWSER_ROOT	ClawdBrowser MCP

Paper first. Live trades, sends, and secret-touching shell still need a human.

Publish

Publisher ID in package.json is openclawd — create that ID before the first upload.

Microsoft Marketplace (VS Code + Cursor Extensions tab)

1. Create a publisher at the Visual Studio Marketplace management portal.
2. Sign in to Azure DevOps, create a PAT with Marketplace (Acquire & Publish).
3. Publish:

npx @vscode/vsce login openclawd
npx @vscode/vsce publish

Or upload clawd-1.0.0.vsix with New Extension on the marketplace site.

Open VSX (VSCodium and other open editors)

npx ovsx publish clawd-1.0.0.vsix -p YOUR_OPEN_VSX_TOKEN

Cursor plugin marketplace (no VSIX required)

Cursor Plugins (rules, skills, agents, commands, hooks) can also be listed from this public repo:

1. cursor.directory/plugins/new — community, fastest
2. cursor.com/marketplace/publish — official, manual review

Repo: https://github.com/solizardking/extension

Authoring another plugin

1. .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json — marketplace name, owner, metadata
2. plugins/<name>/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json — kebab-case name, displayName, author, description, keywords, license, version
3. Drop in rules, skills, agents, commands, hooks, scripts, logos
4. npm run validate
5. See docs/add-a-plugin.md

Starter plugins stay in git so you can clone the pattern. They are not packed into the VSIX.

Based on the Cursor plugin template.
