How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The bot sends messages on the organization's behalf in MAX
  • The webhook accepts external requests and needs a secret to verify authenticity

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The plugin gives the OpenClaw bot a channel in the MAX messenger, set up the same way as the Telegram channel. It supports receiving and sending text in MAX's markdown dialect, attachments (photos, video, audio, files, stickers, contacts, geolocation), several inline button types, message pinning, long polling with a persistent marker, and a webhook with a required secret. It separately handles a TLS issue: since July 2026 the MAX API runs on a certificate issued by Russia's Ministry of Digital Development, which is missing from Node.js's default trust store, and the plugin adds the needed root certificates only for its own connections, without touching the process-wide trust store.

Who it is for. For people already running OpenClaw who want to add the MAX messenger as another channel for their bot.

Good fit when

  • You want the OpenClaw bot to answer users in MAX the same way it does in Telegram
  • You need buttons, attachments and message pinning in the MAX bot conversation
  • You need a webhook with a fast ACK instead of long polling

Not a fit when

  • You are not running OpenClaw: the plugin only works inside that platform, not as a standalone MCP server
  • You are not a legal entity, sole proprietor or self-employed Russian resident: creating a bot in MAX via business.max.ru requires verification

Example request

Set up the MAX channel for my OpenClaw bot and enable receiving messages via webhook

Limitations

Works only as an OpenClaw extension and does not fit other agents without porting the code. Creating a bot requires a registered business, an organization profile in MAX, and moderation that can take up to 48 business hours. Maximum 32 slash commands versus 100 in Telegram. The plugin is young, with three GitHub stars at review time.

How to disable. Remove the plugin folder from ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-max and remove the channel from your OpenClaw settings.

FAQ

Do I need a registered business to create a bot?

You need legal entity, sole proprietor or self-employed Russian resident status: according to the MAX documentation, the partner platform is open only to them, and an individual account will not work.

How does it handle the Ministry of Digital Development certificate?

The plugin adds the Russian Trusted Root and Sub CA certificates only to its own HTTP client, without changing the process-wide trust store.

README in short

The Russian README lists the plugin's capabilities, explains the TLS fix in a dedicated section, and gives step-by-step setup: creating a bot at business.max.ru with a wait for moderation, copying the plugin into extensions and loading it. It shows the project structure with api.ts, monitor.ts, webhook.ts, channel.ts and the russian-trusted-ca.ts certificate module.
