Run OpenClaw securely. Zero infrastructure.
OpenClaw has 160K+ GitHub stars, a security crisis, and its founder just announced he's joining OpenAI. Self-hosting means CVE patching, Docker config, and uncertain governance. We handle all of that so you don't have to.
The entire migration is one line:
# Before (direct to provider — no governance):
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
# After (through Curate-Me — full governance):
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.curate-me.ai/v1/openai
X-CM-API-Key=cm_sk_xxx
# That's it. Cost control, PII scanning, environment isolation.
# Zero code changes. Your agents don't even know.
OpenClaw's Future Is Uncertain
On February 14, 2026, OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger announced he is joining OpenAI. The project is transitioning to an open-source foundation with new, unproven governance.
- Founder departure — the sole creator and primary maintainer is leaving for OpenAI
- Foundation transition — governance moving to an untested open-source foundation
- Security debt — 512 vulnerabilities discovered, 8 critical, with uncertain patch timeline under new leadership
- Curate-Me is a managed platform — dedicated team, SLA-backed uptime, and continuous security patching regardless of upstream changes
Why Not Self-Host?
OpenClaw's security track record speaks for itself. These are real incidents from February 2026.
One-Click RCE via WebSocket hijacking
Patched in 2026.2.21
Network phase separation blocks during execution
512 vulnerabilities in January 2026 audit
8 classified as critical
Environment isolation prevents host access
341 malicious skills distributing malware
Ongoing
Vetted MCP allowlist blocks unverified skills
42,665 publicly exposed instances found
5,194 actively vulnerable
Zero exposure — agents run behind gateway auth

Every OpenClaw Pain Point, Solved
77 backend modules. 41 dashboard pages. Built for production.
Environment Isolation
Solves: Privilege escalation, host access
4-tier access control (READ_ONLY to FULL_ACCESS). Deny patterns block .env, .pem, .git/config. Per-session byte-level write tracking.
Network Phase Separation
Solves: Data exfiltration, SSRF
SETUP (network on) → EXECUTION (network off) → TEARDOWN (network on). Agents can't phone home during execution.
Cost Governance
Solves: $3,600/month runaway costs
Per-request cost limits, daily budget caps, cost velocity anomaly detection. Auto-terminate sessions that exceed budgets.
HITL Approvals
Solves: "AI bought a car" autonomous actions
Approval queues for high-cost or sensitive operations. No more agents making purchases or sending emails without your sign-off.
PII Scanning
Solves: Secret/credential leakage
Regex scan for API keys, passwords, and PII before any request hits an LLM provider. Block or redact automatically.
CI Auto-Fix
Solves: Failed builds, lint errors
Classify failures (test, lint, type, build, security). Auto-diagnose, fix, and create PRs. Human review before merge.
Full Audit Trail
Solves: "What did the agent do?"
27 event types recorded to immutable audit log. Every command, policy evaluation, and state change — queryable and exportable.
Git Worktree Isolation
Solves: Code contamination between sessions
Per-session git worktrees. Each agent gets its own branch. No cross-contamination. Auto-cleanup on termination.
Desktop Streaming
Solves: "I can't see what it's doing"
Real-time VNC streaming. Watch your agent work. Take over control at any time. Screenshot capture for debugging.
One-URL Setup
Solves: Hours of Docker/config friction
Change one environment variable. No Docker setup, no gateway config, no channel auth. Point and go.
Time-Travel Debugging
Solves: Impossible debugging
Step backward and forward through any session. See what changed at each command. Set breakpoints and re-run.
41-Page Ops Console
Solves: No visibility into agent behavior
Full dashboard covering runners, costs, security, compliance, templates, schedules, triggers, credentials, billing, and more.
Migrate in 5 Minutes
From self-hosted to fully governed in four steps.
Sign Up & Get API Key
Create your account. Get a cm_sk_xxx API key in 30 seconds.
Before
# Self-hosted OpenClaw: openclaw gateway --port 18789
After
# Sign up at dashboard.curate-me.ai # Copy your API key: cm_sk_xxx
Swap One URL
Point your OpenClaw config at our gateway. Zero code changes.
Before
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
After
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.curate-me.ai/v1/openai X-CM-API-Key=cm_sk_xxx
Configure Governance
Set cost limits, enable PII scanning, configure access tier. All from the dashboard.
Before
# Manual: edit openclaw.json # Pray nothing goes wrong
After
# Dashboard → Policies # Toggle: PII Scanning ✓ # Set: Daily budget = $25 # Set: Sandbox = WRITE_PROJECT
Ship with Confidence
Your agents now have governance, cost control, security, and full observability.
Before
# Hope for the best # Check API bill nervously
After
# 41-page dashboard # Real-time cost tracking # Security audit score: 98%
Others Host. We Govern.
ClawShip and AgentClaw deploy your instance. We secure it.
