OpenClaw / BetterClaw

What is BetterClaw

OpenClaw is NVIDIA's autonomous coding agent framework. BetterClaw is Betterness's extension — starter kits, agent templates, and MCP wiring for health agent workflows. If you build a health agent from scratch, you'd need to solve consent flows, wearable integrations, lab pipelines, and HIPAA compliance yourself. BetterClaw makes those infrastructure.

Architecture

• OpenClaw runtime — agent execution environment
• Betterness MCP — governed health tool access
• Betterness CLI — scripting, cron, and local automation
• Your LLM — Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or any model

Quick start

# 1. CLI + auth
npm install -g @betterness/cli
betterness auth login

# 2. API key
# Generate at /console/keys, then
betterness auth login --key bk_your_key

3. Wire MCP into your agent

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "betterness": {
      "url": "https://api.betterness.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Agent patterns

Daily briefing agent

betterness workflow daily-brief --json | your-agent-process

Or all-MCP: call getProfile, getActivityData, getSleepData, getVitals, searchBiomarkers, getBiologicalAge.

Lab gap analysis agent

1. searchBiomarkers — recent results
2. getLoincCodes — LOINC slug lookup
3. Detect gaps (no recent Vitamin D, thyroid, lipid panel, etc.)
4. listAvailableLabTests(loincSlug) — find tests covering gaps
5. Recommend with name, price, included biomarkers

Proactive monitoring agent

1. searchBiomarkers(range: "OUT_OF_RANGE")
2. Compare against previous values for trends
3. Alert with actionable recommendations

Governance

• API keys are scoped and rate-limited (100/day free, 5,000 builder)
• Every tool call is logged in the audit trail
• Consent grants control what data the agent can access
• Grants revocable from the Console at any time
