OpenClaw hosting with Anthropic

Run a managed OpenClaw agent on Anthropic models with your own API key — one-click deploy, Docker isolation, and no inference markup, from $24/mo.

Claude models, known for long context, careful reasoning, and strong tool use.

Why Anthropic for your OpenClaw agent

Anthropic’s Claude models excel at multi-step reasoning, large context windows, and following nuanced instructions — a strong fit for agents that chain many tool calls. Claude is a frequent pick for coding and analysis-heavy assistants.

Choose Anthropic for an OpenClaw agent that handles long, complex conversations and careful tool orchestration. Representative models: Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku families.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run OpenClaw on Anthropic models?+

Yes. VibeOpenClaw supports Anthropic as one of 13 BYOK providers. Add your Anthropic API key on the API Keys page, create an OpenClaw agent, and select a Anthropic model — your agent is live in about 30 seconds.

Where do I get a Anthropic API key?+

Create one in the Anthropic dashboard (https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys), then paste it into VibeOpenClaw’s API Keys page. It’s encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted in-process to make model calls.

Does VibeOpenClaw mark up Anthropic usage?+

No. It’s true BYOK — you pay Anthropic directly for inference and we never proxy or mark up your usage. Your hosting fee ($24/mo Pro, $48/mo Premium) is separate from your model spend.

Can I switch models or providers later?+

Yes. You can change the model on an agent, or add keys for other providers, at any time — your agent isn’t locked to Anthropic.

Which plan do I need?+

Any plan works with Anthropic. Pro ($24/mo) runs 1 OpenClaw agent; Premium ($48/mo) runs up to 3 OpenClaw or Hermes agents and adds Slack.
