OpenClaw

Give an OpenClaw agent a real, routable, verifiable Whisper network identity - and, with a key, source-bind its egress to a Whisper /128.

Add it

One command from the ClawHub registry:

clawhub install whisper          # v1.0.0

Or install from source, from the adapter directory in whisper-sec/whisper-adapters:

npm install
npm run plugin:build          # tsc → dist/, then generates openclaw.plugin.json
openclaw plugins install .     # load it into OpenClaw

Prerequisite: the whisper CLI on your PATH - the adapter runs whisper mcp (the tool surface) and, for egress, whisper connect:

curl -fsSL https://get.whisper.online | sh

Two tiers, auth optional

Like every Whisper integration, the adapter is two-tier by design - liberal in what it asks of you (Postel's Law):

• No API key - the keyless tools work for everyone: whisper_verify (is an address or hostname a real Whisper agent, and whose?) and whisper_rdap (its RDAP registration). Real value, zero setup.
• With your key (WHISPER_API_KEY in the client's environment, or a saved whisper login) - the full control plane unlocks (whisper_register, whisper_list, whisper_policy, whisper_logs, whisper_revoke, whisper_egress_config), and the session can egress from its routable /128.

The plugin declares the eight Whisper tools as a static list via defineToolPlugin and forwards each call to whisper mcp; on the first control-plane call it best-effort brings egress up (whisper connect --ensure, idempotent, non-blocking).

Verify without a key

# keyless - no account, no key
whisper verify 2a04:2a01:f3c6:4261:9887:4349:306a:52c8
# → verified Whisper agent (DANE-anchored)
#   fqdn a98874349306a52c8.botboss.app

In an agent chat, the same check is one tool call - ask the model to run whisper_verify {target:"api.openai.com"} and it comes back with is_whisper_agent, dane_ok, and jws_ok.

Egress from your /128

Set your key in the client's launch environment, then let the agent mint its own identity and route through it:

export WHISPER_API_KEY=whisper_live_…   # set in the CLIENT's launch env
# in chat: whisper_register {name:"scout"}  → a routable /128 + DNS name
whisper ip                          # ✓ egress verified - source IP == the agent's /128
dig -x <that /128>                # reverse-DNS → the agent's Whisper hostname

Verify it worked

Restart the client and ask it, in chat, to run whisper_verify against any address. A true/false is_whisper_agent verdict back means the whisper mcp server is wired in correctly, end to end. With a key present, whisper_list returns your agents.
