AI APIs for OpenClaw
Your OpenClaw agent already uses models like GPT-4 and Claude for its core reasoning, but sometimes you need something specialized: image generation, speech-to-text, sentiment analysis, computer vision. These AI APIs give your agent access to domain-specific models it can call as skills. You set up the API key in your config, write a quick SKILL.md, and now your assistant can generate images or transcribe audio on command.

How to connect
Three steps to a smarter agent.
Pick an API from the list above
Browse or search through the directory. Each API links directly to its documentation and setup instructions.
Add it to your OpenClaw config as a skill or MCP server
For MCP servers, add the URL to your config and restart. For skills, create a folder with a SKILL.md and set your API key. Takes about five minutes.
Your agent uses it automatically on every task
Once connected, your agent can call the API in conversations across WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or any connected channel. Set up cron jobs for recurring tasks.
