Analyze and process Excel/CSV files using pandas and openpyxl. Supports data summary, filtering, pivot tables, and chart generation.
Playwright browser automation — navigate, read, and interact with web pages using text snapshots and ref-based targeting. Supports keyboard, dialogs, file upload, JS evaluation, console/network debugging, and PDF export. Login state persists across sessions. Use when user wants to open a URL, fill a web form, scrape page content, or operate any website that requires clicking/typing.
Local web search (Tavily/Exa, requires API Key). For quick searches. If no Key configured or deep research needed, use cloud_agent instead.
Set up and use 1Password CLI (op). Use when installing the CLI, enabling desktop app integration, signing in (single or multi-account), or reading/injecting/running secrets via op.
Manage Apple Notes via the `memo` CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks Moltbot to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.

Display HTML content on connected Moltbot nodes (Mac app, iOS, Android).
The canvas tool lets you present web content on any connected node's canvas view. Great for:

canvasHost.root directoryThe canvas host server binds based on gateway.bind setting:
| Bind Mode | Server Binds To | Canvas URL Uses |
|---|---|---|
loopback | 127.0.0.1 | localhost (local only) |
lan | LAN interface | LAN IP address |
tailnet | Tailscale interface | Tailscale hostname |
auto | Best available | Tailscale > LAN > loopback |
Key insight: The canvasHostHostForBridge is derived from bridgeHost. When bound to Tailscale, nodes receive URLs like:
http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/<file>.html
This is why localhost URLs don't work - the node receives the Tailscale hostname from the bridge!
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
present | Show canvas with optional target URL |
hide | Hide the canvas |
navigate | Navigate to a new URL |
eval | Execute JavaScript in the canvas |
snapshot | Capture screenshot of canvas |
In ~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json:
{
"canvasHost": {
"enabled": true,
"port": 18793,
"root": "/Users/you/clawd/canvas",
"liveReload": true
},
"gateway": {
"bind": "auto"
}
}
When liveReload: true (default), the canvas host:
Great for development!
Place files in the canvas root directory (default ~/clawd/canvas/):
cat > ~/clawd/canvas/my-game.html << 'HTML'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>My Game</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Hello Canvas!</h1>
</body>
</html>
HTML
Check how your gateway is bound:
cat ~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json | jq '.gateway.bind'
Then construct the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/<file>.htmlhttp://<hostname>:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/<file>.htmlFind your Tailscale hostname:
tailscale status --json | jq -r '.Self.DNSName' | sed 's/\.$//'
moltbot nodes list
Look for Mac/iOS/Android nodes with canvas capability.
canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:<full-url>
Example:
canvas action:present node:mac-63599bc4-b54d-4392-9048-b97abd58343a target:http://peters-mac-studio-1.sheep-coho.ts.net:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/snake.html
canvas action:navigate node:<node-id> url:<new-url>
canvas action:snapshot node:<node-id>
canvas action:hide node:<node-id>
Cause: URL mismatch between server bind and node expectation.
Debug steps:
cat ~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json | jq '.gateway.bind'lsof -i :18793curl http://<hostname>:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/<file>.htmlSolution: Use the full hostname matching your bind mode, not localhost.
Always specify node:<node-id> parameter.
Node is offline. Use moltbot nodes list to find online nodes.
If live reload isn't working:
liveReload: true in configThe canvas host serves from /__moltbot__/canvas/ prefix:
http://<host>:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/index.html → ~/clawd/canvas/index.html
http://<host>:18793/__moltbot__/canvas/games/snake.html → ~/clawd/canvas/games/snake.html
The /__moltbot__/canvas/ prefix is defined by CANVAS_HOST_PATH constant.
