Task Board
Kanban columns: Backlog → Todo → In Progress → Review → Done. Tasks move through automatically as agents work. Drag to reorder or reassign.
Getting Started with Mission Clawtrol
Mission Clawtrol is an AI agent orchestration dashboard built on top of OpenClaw. It gives you a team of 9 specialized AI agents — developers, researchers, editors, QA, security, and a PM — that work together on your projects autonomously.
You create tasks, assign them to agents, and they execute: writing code, running tests, committing to git, reviewing each other’s work, and closing tasks when done. All tracked on a Kanban-style board with cost visibility built in.
Available as a 1-Click App on DigitalOcean Marketplace — deploy a droplet, run one command, and you have a fully operational AI dev team.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A DigitalOcean account (or access to a Linux server where you can self-host)
- An Anthropic API key (get one at console.anthropic.com)
- Basic familiarity with SSH and the command line
Quick Start
Section titled “Quick Start”-
Deploy the droplet
Go to the DigitalOcean Marketplace and launch the Mission Clawtrol 1-Click App. Choose a plan (2GB RAM / $12/mo is enough for light usage; 4GB / $24/mo for heavier workloads).
-
SSH in and run mc-setup
Terminal window ssh root@your-droplet-ipmc-setupFollow the prompts. You’ll be asked for your Anthropic API key. That’s it — the setup script configures everything.
-
Open the dashboard
Navigate to
http://your-droplet-ip:3001in your browser. You’ll see the Mission Clawtrol dashboard. -
Create your first project
Click New Project, give it a name and description. The system will scaffold a
PROJECT.mdfile describing the project context that agents will read before starting work. -
Create a task and assign it
Click New Task, write a clear description of what you want done, select an agent (or let the CSO delegate), and click Assign & Run. The agent gets to work.
