  • Plugin Page: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/23456-openclaw

Product Description

OpenClaw provides plugin support on the JetBrains IDE platform, covering major JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and GoLand. The plugin bridges the IDE to AI agents via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), enabling developers to utilize OpenClaw's agent capabilities within their familiar JetBrains environment.

OpenClaw ACP requires IDE support for the Agent Client Protocol. For IDEs that do not natively support ACP, users can use OpenClaw by installing plugins that support custom Agent servers.

The v2026.3.23-2 release in March 2026 further stabilized the Plugin SDK, providing a more reliable development foundation for plugin developers.
