How to Connect OpenClaw to an OpenAI-Compatible API

If you want to run OpenClaw with a custom model provider, the easiest route is an OpenAI-compatible API. You only need three pieces of information: a base URL, an API key, and the model name.

What You Need

• Base URL
• API key
• Supported model name

Why OpenAI-Compatible Matters

It lets developers reuse existing scripts, SDKs, and agent workflows without rewriting everything for a new protocol.

Typical Use Cases

• OpenClaw agent tasks
• AI coding workflows
• Automation and tool calling
• Rapid MVP testing

At AI Token Hub, we publish practical setup guides and compatible API details for developers who want lower-cost AI workflows.
