Each actor in meclaw runs in its own SQLite database and kernel sandbox, and the framework connects to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and to MCP servers. The project is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache 2.0 and installs via a start.sh script that requests an OpenRouter key.", "body_md": "meclaw is a framework for composing complex agentic systems, not just agents: fast, secure, ontology-grounded, auditable and made for agents to build with, in one Rust binary. Use it to try a new harness structure in an afternoon, to grow an agentic OS of your own, or to build the next thing before it has a name.\n\nmeclaw-os is the reference implementation: a complete agentic OS, grown on that substrate and nothing else.\n\nThree things that make a meclaw agent unique. A voice cell that listens and speaks on a wire protocol built for it. A web cell that gives the assistant a display of its own, where it shows you instead of telling you. And a vault that keeps your secrets secret, with every cell inside a kernel sandbox.\n\nmeclaw talks to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and to MCP servers.\n\n```\ncurl -fsSL https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/releases/latest/download/start.sh | sh\n```\n\nIt asks for an OpenRouter key, grows the assistant and asks it one question. Set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` first and it does not ask.\n\n[Roadmap](https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/blob/main/ROADMAP.md) · [Contributing](https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) · [Discussions](https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/discussions) · [Blog](https://meclaw.ai/blog/)\n\nMIT ([LICENSE-MIT](https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/blob/main/LICENSE-MIT)) or Apache 2.0 ([LICENSE-APACHE](https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/blob/main/LICENSE-APACHE)), whichever you like.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentic-os-one-rust-linux-binary-one-sqlite-and-sandbox-per-actor", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/mmeyerlein/meclaw/", "published_at": "2026-09-20 19:07:07+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-20 19:22:59.189122+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "agent-protocols", "ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["meclaw", "meclaw-os", "mmeyerlein", "Rust", "SQLite", "OpenRouter", "MCP", "OpenAI"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentic-os-one-rust-linux-binary-one-sqlite-and-sandbox-per-actor", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentic-os-one-rust-linux-binary-one-sqlite-and-sandbox-per-actor.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentic-os-one-rust-linux-binary-one-sqlite-and-sandbox-per-actor.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentic-os-one-rust-linux-binary-one-sqlite-and-sandbox-per-actor.jsonld"}}
