Cedros
Choose Cedros when you want publishing, customer tools, approved knowledge, and an assistant in one website platform.
OpenClaw
Choose OpenClaw when running and extending an agent across your own environment is the main goal.
| Capability | Cedros | OpenClaw |
|---|---|---|
| Website foundation | Hosted website with page/blog/docs publishing, shared layouts, and editorial tools. | Agent environment; build or connect a website/CMS rather than receiving one as the core product. |
| Customer tools | Profiles, forms, email, booking, site support, and configured commerce extensions. | Connect the business services the agent needs through supported tools and integrations. |
| Memory and knowledge | Business knowledge library, saved instructions, site content, and permissioned customer records. | Agent workspace, memory, skills, and connected sources supply context for its tasks. |
| Access control | Site-specific MCP keys and assistant-tool permissions govern supported business actions. | Gateway roles, tool policies, sandboxing, and connection permissions control agent access. |
| Custom work | React pages and WebAssembly extensions add site interfaces and supported backend behavior. | Skills, tools, and integrations extend the agent’s behavior across the configured environment. |
| Operating responsibility | Hosted site plans; configure AI/email providers, permissions, and any custom extensions. | Operate or select hosting for the agent/gateway, models, tools, and connected services. |
Building every common website capability is one option. Cedros offers existing publishing and business tools so the assistant can work against a defined platform.
Compatible clients can use the site’s MCP endpoint. Configure a key for the required capabilities, verify the client’s connection support, and start with a task whose result you can inspect.
An assistant updating a page and an agent administering a server need different access. Choose the environment for each role, and review the providers and tools that can receive data.
Give your assistant a document library, saved business knowledge, reusable instructions, and a place to track tasks. Compatible external agents can also use Cedros tools through MCP, with access you control. Scheduled routines support a defined set of actions, so confirm that the work you want to automate can run without an interactive session.
For Cedros, include the website plan, traffic and storage capacity, AI usage, email volume, required extensions, and any charges from your own providers. For OpenClaw, include model/API usage, agent/gateway hosting, connected services, and the website stack it operates. Running an agent does not remove the cost of its business tools.
Yes. An agent can help develop software or work with existing platforms and services. Cedros is one possible website foundation; compare the tools, integrations, and operating responsibilities of the stack you choose.
No. Cedros includes its own assistant. External compatible tools are an additional option.
Cedros exposes MCP tools; client compatibility and connection setup must be verified for the environment you use.
