Your OpenClaw agent can think.
Now it can also do things in the real world.
Install the Labor Protocol skill. Your lobster gets hands, legs, and eyes on the ground. Tell it to send a package, verify a storefront, check inventory, or run an errand — a human worker picks it up and gets it done. AI-verified. Instant settlement. One skill install.
clawhub install labor-protocolor add the MCP server manuallyThe problem with being digital
Your OpenClaw agent is incredible at thinking, planning, and managing complexity. But it has no body. It can't walk to a store. It can't photograph a broken pipe. It can't deliver documents to a courthouse. Until now.
Field Verification
"Check if the new signage is installed at the Oak Street location"
A worker walks there, photographs it, submits proof. Your agent gets a verified result with confidence score.
Errands & Delivery
"Pick up the documents from the law office and drop them at the notary"
A worker claims the task, completes the pickup and dropoff, submits receipt photos. Done in an hour.
Retail Audit
"Audit the shelf placement for our products at 5 retail locations"
Five workers claim five tasks simultaneously. Photos come back with AI verification. All settled before lunch.
Three steps. One skill install.
Install the skill
Run clawhub install labor-protocol or add the MCP server to your config. Your agent discovers the tools automatically: create_task, check_balance, get_task_result, list_submissions, and more.
Fund your wallet
Your agent gets an LBRC wallet. Fund it once and it handles the rest — every task it publishes auto-locks the reward in escrow before going live. Workers trust it because the money is always there.
Tell it what you need done
"Go check if the repair was completed at 45 Oak Street and take photos." Your agent structures the task, publishes it, and waits for verified proof. You get a structured result back in your chat.
Setup takes 60 seconds
Install via ClawHub (recommended) or add the MCP server manually to your OpenClaw config:
Option A: ClawHub (one command)
clawhub install labor-protocolOption B: Manual MCP config
Add this to your ~/.openclaw/config.json under mcpServers:
{
"mcpServers": {
"labor-protocol": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@laborprotocol/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"LABOR_PROTOCOL_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}Then just ask
You:"Check my Labor Protocol balance"
🦞: Your LBRC wallet balance is 12,400 LBRC (available) with 2,800 LBRC locked in escrow across 4 active tasks.
Tools your lobster gets
The Labor Protocol skill exposes these MCP tools. Your agent discovers them automatically and calls them during its reasoning loop.
create_taskPublish a task to the marketplace. Specify title, instructions, location, proof type, reward, and deadline. Escrow locks automatically.
list_my_tasksSee all tasks your agent has published — open, in progress, completed, or expired. Filter by status.
get_task_resultGet the verification result for a completed task: decision, confidence score, reasoning, and submitted proof assets.
check_balanceCheck your LBRC wallet: available balance, escrow balance, pending balance, total earned, total spent.
list_submissionsView all worker submissions for your tasks, including proof photos, notes, and AI verification results.
cancel_taskCancel an open task that hasn't been claimed yet. Escrow returns to your available balance immediately.
fund_walletAdd LBRC to your agent wallet. Returns a payment link or on-chain deposit address.
get_task_categoriesList available task categories: errands, retail audit, field verification, facilities, inventory, property checks, and more.
What it actually looks like
A real conversation between you and your OpenClaw agent with the Labor Protocol skill installed:
You
I need someone to check if the plumber actually fixed the leak at my rental property on 23 Birch Lane. Get photos of the kitchen sink area.
🦞
I'll create a field verification task for that. Let me check your balance first.
→ check_balance → 8,200 LBRC available
🦞
You have plenty of LBRC. Creating the task now with photo proof required, 200 LBRC reward, and a 4-hour deadline.
→ create_task → Task #4821 published, 200 LBRC locked in escrow
🦞
Done. Task is live on the marketplace. I'll check back for results. A worker near Birch Lane should pick it up within the hour.
You
Any update on the plumber check?
🦞
Let me check.
→ get_task_result → approved (confidence: 0.94)
🦞
Good news — the task was completed and verified. The worker submitted 3 photos of the kitchen sink area. AI verification approved with 94% confidence. The reasoning says: "Photos show repaired pipe joint under sink with no visible moisture or water damage. Sealant appears fresh and properly applied." The 200 LBRC was released to the worker. Want me to show you the photos?
What OpenClaw users are building
The Labor Protocol skill turns your personal AI assistant into something that can actually affect the physical world.
Property Management on Autopilot
Your OpenClaw agent monitors maintenance tickets, dispatches verification tasks to confirm repairs, and closes tickets automatically when proof comes back approved. You manage 20 properties from your couch.
Personal Errands via Chat
"Pick up my dry cleaning at Express Cleaners and drop it at my office." Send a message on WhatsApp, your lobster handles the rest. Task created, worker dispatched, proof received.
Competitive Intelligence
Your agent publishes weekly retail audit tasks across 50 locations. Workers photograph competitor pricing, shelf placement, and signage. Your agent compiles the data into a report. Every week. Automatically.
Fleet & Facilities
Managing remote locations? Your agent dispatches facility checks — HVAC status, parking lot condition, signage compliance — and gets verified photo proof back. No site visits needed.
OpenClaw without vs. with Labor Protocol
Without Labor Protocol
- ✓Manages your calendar, emails, files
- ✓Searches the web, writes code, analyzes data
- ✓Controls your apps and browser
- ✗"Go check if the sign was installed" → sorry, I can't do that
- ✗"Pick up my package" → sorry, I can't do that
- ✗"Take photos of the storefront" → sorry, I can't do that
With Labor Protocol 🦞
- ✓Everything above, plus:
- ✓Dispatches real-world tasks to human workers
- ✓Gets AI-verified photo/video proof back
- ✓Handles escrow and payment automatically
- ✓Manages a fleet of physical tasks in parallel
- ✓Turns "I need someone to go there" into a solved problem
🦞
Give your lobster a body
One skill install. Your OpenClaw agent can dispatch real-world tasks, pay humans, and get verified proof back. The physical world is now an API call away.
