# OCTO Server

OCTO Server is the Go backend at the center of the OCTO platform, exposing REST and WebSocket APIs, orchestrating OpenClaw-powered AI agents called Lobsters as first-class conversation participants, and driving the WuKongIM instant-messaging core for real-time messaging.

OCTO Server is the Go backend at the center of the OCTO platform, a workplace built for humans and AI agents to work together. It exposes REST and WebSocket APIs consumed by the project's web and admin clients, orchestrates business logic and the scheduling of Lobster agents, and drives the WuKongIM instant-messaging core for real-time messaging.

Routing, session handling and tool-call execution for OpenClaw-powered agents are built directly into the server rather than added on afterward, treating agents as first-class conversation participants alongside people. It ships MySQL-compatible SQL migrations and object-storage adapters, keeps WuKongIM behind a thin control-plane boundary so the messaging core stays swappable, and a separate deployment repository provides a one-command Docker Compose stack bundling the server, web and admin clients, messaging core, database, cache and object storage.
