ZeroClaw

The ZeroClaw runtime — Rust-based agent with pairing-code auth on agentstead.dev.

ZeroClaw is a Rust-based agent runtime with pairing-code desktop authentication. It's designed for performance-oriented Rust workloads.

Port: 42617 | Token type: Session Token | Best for: Rust workloads, pairing-code auth flows

ZeroClaw may be rollout-gated depending on your account. Check the Deploy page to confirm availability.

What starts on boot

Homebrew seeding — seeds to /data/homebrew on first boot.
Chrome with CDP — starts on port 9222.
ZeroClaw daemon — starts on port 42617. Authentication uses a pairing code.

Pairing-code authentication

ZeroClaw uses a pairing-code flow for desktop authentication rather than a username/password. The pairing code is available in Access & Credentials in the dashboard.

When to use ZeroClaw

You're building Rust-based tooling or agents
Your workflow benefits from the pairing-code auth model
You need Rust performance characteristics for compute-heavy tasks
