setting up openclaw with max claude account
✅Solved
hi can i still use claude max account with openclaw? does it have to be thru cli?
Solution
Yep — you can use a Claude Max/Pro subscription with OpenClaw, but it’s not the same thing as an Anthropic API key.
- You generate the token via the Claude Code CLI:
-
- Then paste it into OpenClaw (typically via the onboarding/auth commands):
-
- or
- or
Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/anthropic (see “Option B: Claude setup-token”)
Supported / recommended way: Anthropic setup-token (subscription)
OpenClaw supports Anthropic “setup-token” auth, which is intended for Claude subscription usage.- You generate the token via the Claude Code CLI:
-
claude setup-token- Then paste it into OpenClaw (typically via the onboarding/auth commands):
-
openclaw onboard- or
openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic- or
openclaw models auth paste-token --provider anthropicDocs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/anthropic (see “Option B: Claude setup-token”)
“Do I have to use the CLI?”
You generally only need CLI to do the one-time auth setup (generate/paste the setup-token). After that, you can just use OpenClaw normally through your chat channel/dashboard.
