Config

Minimal config (simplified single-account):

⚠️ Important: requireMention defaults to true. Add access control (allowFrom or allowedRoles) to prevent unauthorized users from triggering the bot.

{
  channels: {
    twitch: {
      enabled: true,
      username: "clawdbot",
      accessToken: "oauth:abc123...", // OAuth Access Token (add oauth: prefix)
      clientId: "xyz789...", // Client ID from Token Generator
      channel: "vevisk", // Channel to join (required)
      allowFrom: ["123456789"], // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only (Convert your twitch username to ID at https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-%20to-user-id/)
    },
  },
}

Access control options:

• requireMention: false - Disable the default mention requirement to respond to all messages
• allowFrom: ["your_user_id"] - Restrict to your Twitch user ID only (find your ID at https://www.twitchangles.com/xqc or similar)
• allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip", "subscriber"] - Restrict to specific roles

Multi-account config (advanced):

{
  channels: {
    twitch: {
      enabled: true,
      accounts: {
        default: {
          username: "clawdbot",
          accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
          clientId: "xyz789...",
          channel: "vevisk",
        },
        channel2: {
          username: "clawdbot",
          accessToken: "oauth:def456...",
          clientId: "uvw012...",
          channel: "secondchannel",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Setup

   • Select Bot Token
   • Verify scopes chat:read and chat:write are selected
   • Copy the Access Token to token property
   • Copy the Client ID to clientId property
