Get AI agents running on your own cloud infrastructure in minutes.

​
1. Install

npm install -g clawup

​
2. Check Prerequisites

Make sure you have the required tools installed:
Run clawup validate after deployment to verify all agents are healthy.

​
3. Create or Discover Identities

If you don’t have identities yet, scaffold one with army-create: 
npx army-create
Then initialize your deployment: 
clawup init
Discovers local identity directories and generates a clawup.yaml manifest and .env.example with sensible defaults (AWS, us-east-1).

​
4. Edit Your Config

Open clawup.yaml and customize:
  • stackName — unique deployment name (e.g., dev, prod)
  • provider — aws or hetzner
  • region — where to deploy
  • instanceType — server size
  • ownerName, timezone, workingHours — your info
  • agents — add, remove, or modify agents

​
5. Fill in Secrets

cp .env.example .env
Open .env and fill in your API keys (Anthropic, Tailscale, etc.).

​
6. Deploy

clawup deploy
Validates all secrets, configures Pulumi, and provisions your agents — dedicated servers, persistent storage, networking, and bootstrap with all integrations. If any secrets are missing, it prints exactly what’s needed.
First deployment takes 3-5 minutes. Subsequent deployments are incremental.

​
7. Connect

# Check status
clawup status

# SSH to an agent
clawup ssh <agent-name>

# Validate health
clawup validate
