Frequently Asked Questions
NeuroClaw FAQ
Is NeuroClaw free to use?
Yes. The NeuroClaw repository is publicly available and can be used according to the project license in the repository. You do not pay a platform fee to inspect the code or run it locally; your own compute, storage, and third-party service costs still apply.
Can NeuroClaw capabilities work with other frameworks or IDEs?
Yes. NeuroClaw can be installed as a skill or rule pack for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, WorkBuddy, and QClaw. The host-agent AutoResearch loop also lets those agents use their own built-in models as NeuroClaw's hypothesis generator, critic, and experiment supervisor.
How is my data handled?
NeuroClaw runs locally unless you explicitly connect it to external services. Your datasets, files, and outputs remain under your control, and any prompts or artifacts sent to a third-party model depend on the backend you configure.
What does the benchmark evaluate?
NeuroBench evaluates executability, output validity, planning quality, tool/skill reasonableness, and reproducibility readiness. It is designed for realistic neuroimaging workflows, not just one-shot question answering.
How do I run the benchmark?
Use the Web UI with
python core/agent/main.py --web --benchmark, or run the CLI batch runner with python core/agent/main.py --benchmark. To compare skill-enabled and baseline runs, add --benchmark-compare-skills.
Can I run long sessions or multiple sessions?
Yes. NeuroClaw is designed for iterative experiment loops and can sustain long-running sessions. You can run separate sessions in different terminals or browser tabs, but the actual capacity depends on your local resources and the model backend you choose.
What does the setup wizard configure?
The bundled installer guides Python environment setup, related dependencies, neuroimaging toolchain paths, LLM backend selection, default directories, and Web UI attachment support.
