Why is the Official OpenClaw LINE Plugin Not Working?
Understanding the npm 404 error and why the official documentation no longer works.
npm Package Removed from Registry
The official @openclaw/line npm package has been completely removed from the npm registry. Running openclaw plugins install @openclaw/line now returns a 404 error. The npm access token has expired, and the package is no longer downloadable.
Official Documentation is Outdated
The official LINE channel documentation still references the old installation method. Users following these docs encounter errors at the very first step. Additionally, the official method requires a self-hosted HTTPS server, manual Webhook URL configuration in LINE Developer Console, and complex JSON configuration — steps that are unnecessarily complicated.
OpenClaw LINE Connect — Just Works
We built OpenClaw LINE Connect as a drop-in replacement. One curl command installs everything. No npm, no server, no Webhook configuration. Secure tunneling via Cloudflare handles all the networking automatically. Works with Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenClaw-compatible AI.
