OpenClaw × Byoky

Run Claude, GPT, and Gemini in OpenClaw.
No API credits required.

OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent CLI. Byoky is a key wallet that proxies LLM calls so the API key never leaves the device. Pair them with a free token gift from the marketplace — or sign in with your existing Claude Pro/Max subscription — and OpenClaw runs frontier models at zero extra cost.

Two ways to run OpenClaw for free

Token gift from the marketplace

Anyone can gift token access on the Byoky marketplace. OpenClaw runs entirely on the gifter's budget — capped, revocable, and proxied through their wallet so their key never leaves their machine.

No card, no signup, no provider account.

Your Claude Pro/Max subscription

Already paying for Claude Pro or Max? Connect it to Byoky with a setup token and OpenClaw runs on the same subscription credits you already use in claude.ai. No API credits, no per-token billing.

Anthropic-only — uses your existing plan.

What you'll do

1

Install the wallet

Chrome, Firefox, iOS, or Android — one click.

2

Get free tokens

Redeem a gift from the marketplace, or use your own key.

3

Install bridge + plugin

Two npm installs — the bridge and the OpenClaw plugin.

4

Run OpenClaw

One auth command and you're calling Claude / GPT / Gemini.

1

Install the Byoky wallet

The wallet holds API keys (yours or gifted) and proxies every request.

Pick the version for your machine:

Open the wallet, set a password, and you're ready. No accounts, no email.

2

Grab a free token gift

Don't have an API key yet? Don't need one. The community shares free token gifts on the Byoky marketplace.

  1. Open the Token Marketplace.
  2. Find a gift with the provider you want — look for the green dot (gifter is online) and tokens remaining.
  3. Click Redeem and copy the gift link.
  4. Open your Byoky wallet → Gifts Redeem Gift → paste the link → accept.

That's it. Your wallet now has a credential backed by someone else's API key — capped to a token budget the gifter set. The real key never reaches you, and OpenClaw never sees it either.

Already have your own API key? Skip the marketplace and add the credential directly in the wallet.

Or: connect your Claude Pro/Max subscription

If you already pay for Claude Pro or Max, you can use those subscription credits inside OpenClaw — no API key, no extra spend. In the wallet, add an Anthropic credential and choose Setup Token:

claude setup-token

That command (from the Claude Code CLI) prints a token starting with sk-ant-oat01-.... Paste it into Byoky and the wallet routes OpenClaw's requests through your claude.ai subscription instead of the API.

Setup-token requests route through the Byoky bridge (next step), so the bridge install is required for this path.

3

Install the Byoky bridge

The bridge is a tiny local HTTP proxy. OpenClaw talks to it instead of the LLM provider directly.

npm install -g @byoky/bridge
byoky-bridge install

byoky-bridge install registers the native messaging host so the bridge can hand requests off to your extension. You only run this once.

4

Install the OpenClaw plugin

One npm package adds all 15 Byoky providers to OpenClaw.

npm install -g @byoky/openclaw-plugin
5

Connect OpenClaw to your wallet

Pick a provider and log in. OpenClaw will open your browser so the wallet can approve the connection.

openclaw models auth login --provider byoky-anthropic

Unlock your wallet, approve the request, and the bridge starts automatically. Verify it's running:

curl http://127.0.0.1:19280/health
# → {"status":"ok","providers":["anthropic"]}

Want a different provider? Re-run the command with another id — byoky-openai, byoky-gemini, byoky-xai, etc.

6

Use OpenClaw

That's the whole setup. Run OpenClaw as you normally would — every LLM call routes through your wallet.

Inside OpenClaw, the /byoky command shows the bridge status and which providers are connected:

/byoky

Token usage is tracked in your wallet's Sessions view. If you're using a gifted credential, the gifter's budget ticks down in real time and stops you cleanly when it hits zero.

Available providers

The plugin registers all 15 Byoky providers with OpenClaw:

How it works

OpenClaw → HTTP → Bridge (localhost:19280) → Native Messaging → Extension → LLM API
                                                                ↑
                                                       Keys live here. Always.
  1. The plugin registers each Byoky provider in OpenClaw, pointing at http://127.0.0.1:19280/<provider>.
  2. OpenClaw sends an LLM request to the local bridge.
  3. The bridge relays the request to your Byoky extension via Chrome native messaging.
  4. The extension injects the real API key (yours or a gifted one) and calls the provider.
  5. The response streams back through the same path.

If you're using a gifted credential, requests are relayed once more — through the gifter's extension, which holds the real key and enforces the token budget. You see streaming tokens; the gifter sees a usage counter ticking down.
