SwarmClaw: multi-agent tool for Hermes Agent

Self-hosted multi-agent runtime with memory, MCP tools, schedules and delegation across 23+ LLM providers

What SwarmClaw does

SwarmClaw runs autonomous agents, swarms and orchestrators with heartbeats, schedules, delegation, durable agent memory, runtime skills and reviewed conversation-to-skill learning. The web app includes an org chart for visualizing agent teams, delegation and live activity, and agent chat with durable history, tools and operator controls. After you run swarmclaw, it serves the interface from http://localhost:3456.

It connects to OpenClaw gateways and to model providers including Claude, GPT, Gemini, OpenRouter and Ollama, and it can delegate work to CLI backends such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor Agent and Goose when those tools are installed. A one-click desktop installer exists for macOS, Windows and Linux, and there are global npm, repo-checkout and Docker install paths. The README recommends Docker Desktop for sandboxed browser execution and keeps desktop app data separate from CLI or Docker installs.
