Build a QQ Official Bot AI Bot with Claude
Step-by-step guide to running a Claude-powered AI bot on QQ Official Bot with LangBot: model setup, bot credentials, networking, testing and troubleshooting.
This recipe puts a Claude model behind a QQ Official Bot bot. LangBot receives messages from QQ Official Bot, runs them through a pipeline, and sends the answer back, so you do not write any platform code.
Use Anthropic's Claude models with LangBot's built-in Agent, including tool use with MCP servers, Skills and the code sandbox.
What you need
- A running LangBot instance: LangBot Cloud (no server needed) or a self-hosted deployment with Docker or
uvx langbot. - A Claude account or server you can call from LangBot.
- A bot registered on the QQ Open Platform: AppID, Token and AppSecret, with LangBot's server IP in the IP whitelist.
Networking
The QQ Official Bot API (webhook) requires a public IP and working HTTPS. LangBot Cloud includes a public domain.
1. Add the Claude model
- Create an API key in the Anthropic console.
- In LangBot, open Models, add an LLM model with the provider set to Anthropic, then paste the API key and the model ID.
- Enable Tool Use if the model supports function calling; MCP tools, Skills and the sandbox need it.
- Keep the provider's default request URL unless you use a gateway. Use a current Claude model ID from Anthropic's documentation.
2. Create a pipeline
Open Pipelines in the LangBot WebUI, create a pipeline (or edit the default one) and set AI as follows.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Runner | Local Agent (built-in Agent) |
| Model | The model you just added. You can add fallback models. |
| Prompt | Instructions: who the bot is, tone, what it must not do. |
| Knowledge Bases | Optional. Attach a knowledge base so answers come from your documents. |
3. Create the QQ Official Bot bot
- Create a bot with the QQ Official adapter and enter AppID, Token and AppSecret.
- Copy the bot's webhook callback URL, replace the host with your HTTPS domain, and save it as the request address in the QQ management portal. Add test users in the sandbox settings.
4. Bind and test
Open the bot, select the pipeline you created, save and make sure the bot is enabled.
As a sandbox member, message the bot in a private chat or @mention it in a sandbox group.
Troubleshooting
- The agent never calls tools: enable Tool Use on the model.
- Saving the request address fails: the domain is not reachable over HTTPS or the path does not end with
/bots/<bot id>. - Check Monitoring in the WebUI: every message, pipeline run and error is recorded there.
