OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a Node-based agent gateway with its own provider catalog. Custom endpoints are declared under models.providers.

Requirements

Item	Minimum
Node	24.16+ on 24.x, or 26.1+ (26 recommended)
OS	macOS, Linux, Windows (WSL recommended)
Network	outbound HTTPS to `router.triw.io`

Install

curl -fsSL --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
openclaw --version

The installer provisions Node when the host has none. Windows: use the PowerShell installer from docs.openclaw.ai/install.

Configure

Declare Triw as an OpenAI-completions provider, then point the default agent model at it:

~/.openclaw/config.json5

{
  agents: {
    defaults: { model: { primary: "triw/claude-sonnet-4-5" } }
  },
  models: {
    providers: {
      triw: {
        baseUrl: "https://router.triw.io/v1",
        api: "openai-completions",
        apiKey: "${TRIW_API_KEY}",
        models: [
          { id: "claude-sonnet-4-5", name: "Claude Sonnet 4.5" },
          { id: "gpt-4o-mini", name: "GPT-4o mini" }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

export TRIW_API_KEY="sk-..."

You can also run onboarding and choose the custom-provider path:

openclaw onboard --custom-base-url https://router.triw.io/v1 --custom-model-id claude-sonnet-4-5

Verify

openclaw models list          # triw entries should appear
openclaw "reply with the single word: ready"

Then confirm the call in Triw Logs.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Provider missing	`models.providers` placed in the wrong file	Use `~/.openclaw/config.json5`, or `~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/models.json`
Agent answers from another provider	`agents.defaults.model.primary` not set to `triw/...`	Set the primary model
`401`	`${TRIW_API_KEY}` unresolved	Export the variable, or inline the key
Tool loop stalls	Model without tool support	Use a coding model
