Run NovelClaw Locally

NovelClaw is the main workspace in this bundle. Portal is the public entry layer, and MultiAgent is an optional faster ideation lane, but the primary local path is:

http://127.0.0.1:8010/select-mode -> http://127.0.0.1:8012/dashboard

Recommended Path

  1. Start the local stack.
  2. Open http://127.0.0.1:8010/select-mode.
  3. Choose NovelClaw.
  4. Open /console/models and save an API key for a provider.
  5. Open /console/chat and start a writing session.
  6. Use /console/tasks to inspect runs and /console/manuscript/read, /console/storyboard, and /console/memory/banks to review and continue the project.

One-Click Start

.\START_LOCAL.bat

This script will:

  1. Stop old listeners on 8010, 8011, and 8012.
  2. Write local .env files from safe defaults.
  3. Prepare the shared .venv-shared.
  4. Start Portal, MultiAgent, and NovelClaw.

One-Click Stop

.\STOP_LOCAL.bat

Manual Startup

.\scripts\setup-local-env.ps1 -Overwrite
.\scripts\bootstrap-shared-venv.ps1
.\scripts\start-all-local.ps1 -UseSharedVenv

If the services are already running and you want to restart them:

.\scripts\start-all-local.ps1 -UseSharedVenv -RestartExisting

Local URLs

  • Portal: http://127.0.0.1:8010/select-mode
  • MultiAgent: http://127.0.0.1:8011/dashboard
  • NovelClaw: http://127.0.0.1:8012/dashboard

Working Inside Claw Mode

After entering the main NovelClaw workspace, the most useful pages are:

  • /console/models Configure providers, models, and API keys.
  • /console/chat Start or continue the main writing session.
  • /console/tasks Review active and past runs, then open job detail pages.
  • /console/manuscript/read Read and review chapter output.
  • /console/storyboard Review outlines, plot beats, and chapter progress.
  • /console/memory/banks Inspect and edit memory-bank content tied to the project.

Notes

  • Start from 8010/select-mode first, even if NovelClaw is the main destination.
  • The public release does not expose the old registration, login, password reset, or email verification flow.
  • Local preview does not require Nginx by default.
  • The local defaults set EMBEDDING_MODEL=none and DISABLE_EMBEDDING_DOWNLOADS=1 to avoid heavy embedding downloads during preview.
