Add a model provider key

How to add and store your BYOK model provider API key securely.

VibeOpenClaw is BYOK (bring your own keys): you add your own model provider key and pay that provider directly for inference. We never proxy or mark up usage.

Steps

  1. Create an API key in your provider’s dashboard (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 10 more are supported).
  2. Open the API Keys page in your VibeOpenClaw dashboard.
  3. Select the provider, paste the key, and save.
  4. The key is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted in-process when an agent makes a model call.

Notes

  • Keys are never shown in full again after saving — only a trailing hint.
  • You can add multiple providers and switch models per agent.
