OpenClaw

OpenClaw registers providers with openclaw onboard. Vikey is added as a custom provider with an API key.

Steps

Install or update OpenClaw:
Terminal window
```
npm install -g openclaw@latest
```

openclaw onboard --non-interactive --accept-risk \
  --auth-choice custom-api-key \
  --custom-provider-id vikey \
  --custom-base-url "https://api.vikey.ai/v1" \
  --custom-model-id "vikey/agent-gpt" \
  --custom-api-key "YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --custom-compatibility openai-responses \
  --gateway-port 18789 \
  --skip-health

Start the OpenClaw gateway and select the model:

openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose
openclaw models set vikey/vikey/agent-gpt

What each flag does

Flag	Purpose
`--custom-provider-id vikey`	The provider name in OpenClaw. Models are called as `vikey/<model-id>`.
`--custom-base-url`	With `/v1`.
`--custom-model-id`	A Vikey model id, such as `vikey/agent-gpt` or `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5`.
`--custom-api-key`	Your Vikey API key. When omitted, OpenClaw reads the `CUSTOM_API_KEY` variable.
`--custom-compatibility`	The API format. Vikey supports `openai-responses`, `openai` (chat completions) and `anthropic`.

Common problems

What you see	Cause	Fix
`--custom-compatibility` rejected	An older OpenClaw	Update OpenClaw, or use the value `openai`
`401`	Wrong API key	Repeat step 2 with the right key
`Model '...' not found`	A typo in the model id	Copy the id from the pricing page
