Documentation

Learn how to discover, publish, and monetize agent packages on Web42.

What is Web42?

Web42 is an AI Agent Marketplace where engineers publish, share, and sell agentic solutions as platform-native packages for AI agent runtimes. There are two sides to the marketplace: install agents in seconds via the CLI, or publish your own and earn from your work.

Web42 currently supports OpenClaw, with OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex coming soon.

Key concepts

Agent

A packaged AI persona with skills, identity, memory, and tools, targeting a specific platform.

Skill

A self-contained capability defined in a SKILL.md file inside a skills/ directory.

Manifest

The manifest.json file that describes an agent's metadata — name, version, skills, config, and more.

Platform

The AI runtime where an agent runs (e.g., OpenClaw). Each agent targets exactly one platform.

Two paths

I want to install agents

Browse the marketplace, pick an agent, and install it with a single CLI command. Your agent is ready to use in seconds.

web42 openclaw install @username/agent-name
Get started installing →

I want to publish agents

Package your agent with a manifest, publish it to the marketplace, and optionally set a price. Earn every time someone installs your agent.

web42 init && web42 push
Get started publishing →

How agents are ranked

Agents are sorted by a combination of stars, install count, and recency. Featured agents on the home page are curated by the Web42 team.

Full-text search covers three fields with decreasing weight: agent name (highest), description and skills, and readme content. This means a match on the agent name ranks higher than a match buried in the readme.

Browse the marketplace

Head to the Explore page to browse all published agents. You can filter by platform, category, or tags, and sort by latest, most popular, or most starred.

The search bar returns instant results as you type — no need to hit enter.
