Gateway Setup

Get the gateway running locally in under five minutes.

Prerequisites

→ Go 1.23+
→ An Anthropic API key
→ At least one channel bot or app configured (see Channels)

Install

bash

git clone https://github.com/akshaymemane/superclaw-gateway
cd superclaw-gateway
go build -o gateway ./cmd/gateway

Configure

Copy the example config and fill in your tokens.

bash

cp gateway.json.example gateway.json

Secret fields (bot tokens, signing secrets) can be left empty in gateway.json and set via environment variables instead — see Configuration.

Run

bash

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... ./gateway -config gateway.json
# Listening on :8080
# GET  /health
# POST /webhook/slack
# POST /webhook/discord
# POST /webhook/telegram

Health check

bash

curl http://localhost:8080/health
# {"status":"ok","channels":["slack","telegram"]}

Exposing the gateway publicly

Chat platforms need to reach your webhook URL over the internet. For local development, use ngrok:

bash

ngrok http 8080
# Forwarding: https://abc123.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8080
# Use https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhook/slack as your Slack webhook URL

For production, deploy behind a reverse proxy or use Docker — see Deployment.
