Fluent adds meal planning, grocery workflows, health routines, and closet-aware style help to OpenClaw.
This repository is the canonical public source for the published fluent-openclaw package.
The embedded openclaw-plugin/fluent bundle shipped inside fluent-oss is not the same artifact. It is a separate bundled OSS helper package exported from fluent-mcp/openclaw-plugin/fluent, with its own metadata and versioning. Neither package line is generated from the other.
fluent-openclaw is now a public beta release.
- package version:
0.1.6 - install surface: public
- Fluent early access and plugin-managed hosted auth: early access / beta
- supported deployment tracks:
cloudandoss - minimum Fluent MCP contract version:
2026-04-20.fluent-core-v1.37 - packaging decision: standalone
fluent-openclawis the canonical published package; thefluent-ossembedded bundle is a separate OSS helper
Public install:
openclaw plugins install fluent-openclawLocal checkout install:
openclaw plugins install .The package targets Node.js 22+ and OpenClaw plugin API 2026.3.24-beta.2 or newer.
For both cloud and oss, the supported public OpenClaw install surface is still fluent-openclaw. Do not treat fluent-oss/openclaw-plugin/fluent as the same package release line.
- Install
fluent-openclaw. - Run
openclaw fluent auth login. - Open the printed URL in your browser and finish sign-in.
- Bind Fluent early access into OpenClaw with
openclaw fluent mcp cloud. - Confirm the connection with
openclaw fluent doctor.
- Start Fluent open-source runtime by following the public docs in shaner-git/fluent-oss.
- Bind Fluent open-source runtime into OpenClaw:
openclaw fluent mcp oss --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --token <oss-token>- Confirm the connection with:
openclaw fluent doctor oss --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8788 --token <oss-token>- Start a fresh OpenClaw session so it reloads the updated MCP registry.

openclaw fluent doctor verifies local auth state, mcp.servers.fluent binding, and the live Fluent compatibility probe. openclaw fluent deep-check is an explicit alias for the same full check.
| Capability | OpenClaw | ChatGPT | Claude | Codex | generic MCP clients |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Fluent MCP tools and resources | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Native packaged Fluent client plugin | Yes | No | No | Yes | No |
| Bundled Fluent skills and routing hints | Yes | No | No | Yes | No |
| Plugin-managed hosted auth helper in this package | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| OSS MCP binding helper in this package | Yes | No | No | Yes | Manual config |
| Rich Fluent MCP widgets and output templates | No | Yes | No | No | Only if the host explicitly supports MCP Apps-style widgets |
| Canonical text-first Fluent workflows | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Fluent-specific recipe, pantry, grocery, and purchase widgets | No | Yes | No | No | Only if the host explicitly supports MCP Apps-style widgets |
Practical guidance:
- OpenClaw supports the same canonical Fluent contract as ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and generic MCP clients, plus a native plugin package with Fluent skills, auth helpers, and MCP setup commands.
- ChatGPT is the strongest Fluent host for rich widget surfaces such as recipe cards, grocery lists, pantry dashboards, and purchase-analysis views.
- Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and generic MCP clients should use canonical tools and text-first fallbacks unless the host explicitly proves MCP Apps-style widget support.
- OpenClaw should be treated like Claude and Codex for Fluent UI expectations: use the canonical tools and let the host render the results conversationally.
- This package is public beta, not GA.
- Fluent is invite-based early access, and plugin-managed hosted auth remains beta.
- OpenClaw does not render Fluent MCP widgets or output templates today.
- OSS setup still requires an explicit bearer token.
- Browser and retailer execution helpers are intentionally omitted from the OpenClaw package.
- Unsafe local browser automation and retailer checkout scripts are not part of this plugin and are not required for standard installs.

- Fluent is the early-access managed path; the open-source runtime is the supported self-hosted path.
- The plugin manages hosted auth and rewrites
mcp.servers.fluentfor OpenClaw. - The bundled
openclaw-plugin/fluentcopy insidefluent-ossis an OSS helper package, not the publishedfluent-openclawartifact. - Browser and retailer execution helpers are intentionally excluded so normal installs do not require unsafe-install overrides.
