ClawPane — Smart Model Routing for OpenClaw

Step 1 — Create a router

Sign in and create a router from the dashboard. Choose a preset (Auto, Fast, Economy, Quality) or tune cost, speed, and quality weights for your specific OpenClaw workload.

Create a router →

Step 2 — Get a ClawPane API key

Generate a key from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys. One key works across all your routers. Copy the full key value — it is only shown once.

Step 3 — Add ClawPane as a provider in OpenClaw

In OpenClaw go to Settings → Model Providers → Add Provider, selecting Custom Provider, and fill in the four fields exactly as shown:

Provider Name:   ClawPane
Provider URL:    https://clawpane.co/route
API Key:         <your ClawPane API key>
Model ID:        auto
SDK:             OpenAI

The Model ID field controls which routing strategy is used. Use a preset (see below) or your own router ID from the dashboard.

Step 4 — Set ClawPane as the default model in OpenClaw

In OpenClaw go to Settings → Agents → Default Model and select ClawPane / auto (or whichever preset you added). All agents in your gateway will now route through ClawPane automatically.

You can also set the model per-agent in each agent's config if you want different routing strategies for different agents.

Available Model IDs

Use any of these as the Model ID in the OpenClaw provider form. No custom router needed to get started.

auto

Balanced cost, speed, and quality. Best default for most agents.

fast

Lowest latency first. Use for real-time or interactive agents.

economy

Lowest cost first. Use for high-volume or background agents.

quality

Highest quality first. Use for complex reasoning or code agents.

<your-router-id>

Your custom router from the dashboard — tune weights exactly to your workload.

Alternative: openclaw.json config

If you prefer to configure via openclaw.json directly instead of the UI form:

{
  "models": {
    "mode": "merge",
    "providers": {
      "clawpane": {
        "baseUrl": "https://agentlify.co/api/router",
        "apiKey": "<your ClawPane API key>",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [
          { "id": "auto",    "name": "ClawPane Auto" },
          { "id": "fast",    "name": "ClawPane Fast" },
          { "id": "economy", "name": "ClawPane Economy" },
          { "id": "quality", "name": "ClawPane Quality" }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": { "primary": "clawpane/auto" }
    }
  }
}
