Installation
ClawCap — Spending Cap for OpenClaw
Stop runaway API bills. ClawCap enforces hard spending caps across every model your agents use — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more — under a single proxy URL.
What It Does
- Hard daily & monthly caps — your agents stop when you hit your limit, not when your wallet is empty
- All models, one cap — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and more tracked together
- Heartbeat detection — catches agents stuck in polling loops burning tokens
- Loop detection — stops agents repeating the same failed request
- Kill switch — stop any agent instantly via Telegram or API
- Real-time tracking — see exactly what you're spending per model
Setup (2 minutes)
1. Get Your Token
Sign up at clawcap.co and grab your proxy token. Free tier works instantly — no credit card needed.
Set it as an environment variable:
export CLAWCAP_TOKEN="cc_live_your_token_here"
2. Run Setup
The setup script automatically patches your OpenClaw config to route all providers through ClawCap:
node skills/clawcap/scripts/setup.js
This will:
- Read your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
- Point every provider's baseUrl to your ClawCap proxy URL
- Back up your original config to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.backup
3. Done — You're Protected
Start OpenClaw normally. All requests now flow through ClawCap and your spending caps are enforced automatically.
Check your spend anytime:
curl https://clawcap.co/proxy/$CLAWCAP_TOKEN/status
Manual Setup
If you prefer to configure manually, set every provider's baseUrl in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to:
https://clawcap.co/proxy/YOUR_TOKEN
Your API keys stay the same — ClawCap only reads them to forward requests, never stores them.

Troubleshooting
Agent not routing through ClawCap: Check that baseUrl in your openclaw.json points to https://clawcap.co/proxy/cc_live_... — not the original API URL.
429 errors: You've hit your spending cap. Check /status to see current spend, or upgrade your plan for higher limits.
Token not working: Make sure you're using the full cc_live_... token from your setup page, not just the email.
