You can turn those tools off. In fact, that is what I am doing right now in https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw until I am positive the new MCP stuff has full parity with the MCP adapter I've been shipping for the past six months or so. I'm…

comment by panzerboy · 2026-08-31 · in OpenClaw 2.0, Accidentally

well, I created https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw , and as a result of that I have several permanently running agents and entirely too many projects going at once. That's _my_ "messing with AI"...

You should just integrate with pi.dev, like I did for https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw (which has replaced Obsidian for me). I too integrated a terminal and a WYSIWYG Markdown editor (as well as plugins for a mindmap, kanban, etc.)

I added a chat tool to https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw , so any active session can chat to each other, regardless of what model they run. It's led to interesting outcomes: https://x.com/rcarmo/status/2054185558402904338?s=20

Nice. My take on this is https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw and https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm since I prefer to run my agents away from my desktop but still have a nice UX, but I have been thinking of packing them in electrobun.

comment by rcarmo · 2026-03-12 · in Searching for the Agentic IDE

Hmm. OK, I guess. But I are you going to stick to just OpenClaw, or look into variants? (I created https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw , which is a leaner, less hype-driven and more utilitarian thing)

The better web UI is now part of https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw (which is essentially the same, but with more polish and a claw-like memory system). So you can pick if you want TS or Python as the back-end :)
