# Tlon (plugin)
Tlon is a decentralized messenger built on Urbit. OpenClaw connects to your Urbit ship and can
respond to DMs and group chat messages. Group replies require an @ mention by default and can
be further restricted via allowlists.
Status: supported via plugin. DMs, group mentions, thread replies, and text-only media fallback
(URL appended to caption). Reactions, polls, and native media uploads are not supported.
## Plugin required
Tlon ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
Install via CLI (npm registry):
```bash
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/tlon
```
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
```bash
openclaw plugins install ./extensions/tlon
```
Details: [Plugins](/tools/plugin)
## Onboarding
1. Install the Tlon plugin.
2. Gather your ship URL and login code.
3. Configure `channels.tlon`.
4. Restart the gateway.
5. DM the bot or mention it in a group channel.
Minimal config (single account):
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
enabled: true,
ship: "~sampel-palnet",
url: "https://your-ship-host",
code: "lidlut-tabwed-pillex-ridrup",
},
},
}
```
Private/LAN ship URLs (advanced):
By default, OpenClaw blocks private/internal hostnames and IP ranges for this plugin (SSRF hardening).
If your ship URL is on a private network (for example `http://192.168.1.50:8080` or `http://localhost:8080`),
you must explicitly opt in:
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
allowPrivateNetwork: true,
},
},
}
```
## Group channels
Auto-discovery is enabled by default. You can also pin channels manually:
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
groupChannels: ["chat/~host-ship/general", "chat/~host-ship/support"],
},
},
}
```
Disable auto-discovery:
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
autoDiscoverChannels: false,
},
},
}
```
## Access control
DM allowlist (empty = allow all):
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
dmAllowlist: ["~zod", "~nec"],
},
},
}
```
Group authorization (restricted by default):
```json5
{
channels: {
tlon: {
defaultAuthorizedShips: ["~zod"],
authorization: {
channelRules: {
"chat/~host-ship/general": {
mode: "restricted",
allowedShips: ["~zod", "~nec"],
},
"chat/~host-ship/announcements": {
mode: "open",
},
},
},
},
},
}
```
## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
Use these with `openclaw message send` or cron delivery:
- DM: `~sampel-palnet` or `dm/~sampel-palnet`
- Group: `chat/~host-ship/channel` or `group:~host-ship/channel`
## Notes
- Group replies require a mention (e.g. `~your-bot-ship`) to respond.
- Thread replies: if the inbound message is in a thread, OpenClaw replies in-thread.
- Media: `sendMedia` falls back to text + URL (no native upload).
