WeChat now supports OpenClaw integration—limited to chat only

Many Chinese chatbot platforms (often called "lobsters") have focused on integrating with Feishu, DingTalk, or Enterprise WeChat; Feishu in particular is frequently highlighted as a minimal‑integration target.

WeChat’s newest version adds a "My‑Settings‑Plugins" entry that provides a plugin for linking OpenClaw, and the author found that both the open‑source and cloud versions of OpenClaw can be connected.

Using the example of a "豆包‑powered volcanic lobster" with over 10,000 one‑click skills, the author demonstrates the integration process: on a computer where OpenClaw is installed, run the command npx -y @tencent-weixin/openclaw-weixin-cli@latest install, then scan the displayed QR code. After scanning, the plugin is ready to use.

The current functionality is limited: it does not connect to the broader WeChat ecosystem, supports only private chat, and cannot be added to group chats.

Compared with Feishu, which offers richer ecosystem integration (group chat, documents, cloud drive, schedules, knowledge base, etc.), WeChat is praised for its natural user experience such as voice input. The author suggests that future enhancements like real‑time voice chat or video calls would make the integration more complete.
