OpenClaw Mission Control: Dashboard Setup and Features Guide (2026)

Mission Control is OpenClaw's web dashboard. Monitor sessions, view logs, manage skills, and control multiple agents from one interface.

Quick Answer: Mission Control is a self-hosted web UI that runs alongside OpenClaw. Start it with openclaw mission-control start, then open http://localhost:3847 in your browser. It shows active sessions, execution logs, installed skills, resource usage, and lets you send commands without a terminal.

What is OpenClaw Mission Control?

Mission Control is a web-based dashboard for managing OpenClaw instances. It provides a visual interface for tasks that normally require the terminal: monitoring what your agent is doing, reviewing its output, managing skills, and controlling multiple sessions.

It is especially useful when running OpenClaw on a server (via Docker or a VPS) where you do not have direct terminal access.

How do I start Mission Control?

openclaw mission-control start

This starts a local web server on port 3847. Open http://localhost:3847 in your browser.

For remote servers, use SSH tunneling or configure the port in your firewall.

What features does Mission Control have?

Session monitoring: see all active OpenClaw sessions, their status, current task, and resource usage. Click into a session to see the full conversation history.

Execution logs: browse the history of every command OpenClaw ran, every file it edited, and every tool it called. Searchable and filterable.

Skill management: view installed skills, their locations, and descriptions. Add or remove skills through the UI instead of the filesystem.

Resource usage: CPU, memory, and token consumption for each session. Useful for monitoring costs when using API-based models.

Multi-agent control: if running multiple OpenClaw instances (subagents, CI agents, team sessions), Mission Control shows them all in one view.

How do I run Mission Control with Docker?

When running OpenClaw in Docker, expose the Mission Control port:

docker run -it \
  -v $(pwd):/workspace \
  -p 3847:3847 \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key \
  openclaw/openclaw:latest \
  --mission-control

Access the dashboard at http://your-server:3847.

Do skills work with Mission Control?

Mission Control shows which skills are installed and active. You can browse and manage skills through the UI, but installing new skills still works the same way: place the SKILL.md file in the skills directory.
