OpenClaw

Add RouterPlex as a model provider in OpenClaw.

OpenClaw supports custom OpenAI-compatible providers. Add RouterPlex under models.providers in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

json

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "routerplex": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.routerplex.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "${ROUTERPLEX_API_KEY}",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [
          {
            "id": "claude-opus-4-8",
            "name": "Claude Opus 4.8",
            "reasoning": true,
            "input": ["text", "image"],
            "contextWindow": 1000000,
            "maxTokens": 32000
          },
          {
            "id": "gemini-3.5-flash",
            "name": "Gemini 3.5 Flash",
            "reasoning": false,
            "input": ["text", "image"],
            "contextWindow": 1000000,
            "maxTokens": 16000
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": { "primary": "routerplex/claude-opus-4-8" },
      "models": {
        "routerplex/claude-opus-4-8": { "alias": "Opus" },
        "routerplex/gemini-3.5-flash": { "alias": "Flash" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Then export the key and verify connectivity:

bash

export ROUTERPLEX_API_KEY="sk-..."
openclaw models status --probe

Notes:

api: "openai-completions" is the right mode — RouterPlex serves /v1/chat/completions (not /v1/responses).
Models must appear in the agents.defaults.models allowlist or OpenClaw will reject them.
Model references use the provider/model-id form, e.g. routerplex/claude-opus-4-8.
