phpClaw

AI Agents. Native to PHP.

One Composer package gives any PHP app an AI agent with tools, memory and input guards. Switch between Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini and OpenAI-compatible providers with an environment variable.

Quickstart

Section titled “Quickstart”

Install the core package. No framework is required:

Terminal window
composer require phpclaw/phpclaw

Set one API key, such as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY, then give the agent a tool and ask:

use PhpClaw\Claw;
use PhpClaw\Tools\DatabaseQueryTool;


$agent = Claw::builder()
    ->tools([new DatabaseQueryTool($pdo)])
    ->build();


echo $agent->send('How many orders came in today?')->text;

The database tool accepts only read-only queries. Without a tool, the agent can answer only from what the model already knows.

Using Laravel, Symfony, WordPress or another platform? Each adapter wires phpClaw into it. See Getting Started.
