# SwarmClaw

> SwarmClaw is a self-hosted AI agent runtime and control plane: run agents across 25+ model providers and CLI backends, delegate work between agents, automate recurring tasks, manage long-term memory, and bridge agents into chat platforms.

SwarmClaw installs from npm (`@swarmclawai/swarmclaw`), runs a local server with a web UI, and keeps state on your own machine or VPS.
