openclaw configure

Interactive prompt to set up credentials, devices, and agent defaults.
The Model section includes a multi-select for the agents.defaults.models allowlist (what shows up in /model and the model picker). Provider-scoped setup choices merge their selected models into the existing allowlist instead of replacing unrelated providers already in the config. Re-running provider auth from configure preserves an existing agents.defaults.model.primary. Use openclaw models auth login --provider <id> --set-default or openclaw models set <model> when you intentionally want to change the default model.
When configure starts from a provider auth choice, the default-model and allowlist pickers prefer that provider automatically. For paired providers such as Volcengine and BytePlus, the same preference also matches their coding-plan variants (volcengine-plan/*, byteplus-plan/*). If the preferred-provider filter would produce an empty list, configure falls back to the unfiltered catalog instead of showing a blank picker.
openclaw config without a subcommand opens the same wizard. Use openclaw config get|set|unset for non-interactive edits.
For web search, openclaw configure --section web lets you choose a provider and configure its credentials. Some providers also show provider-specific follow-up prompts:
  • Grok can offer optional x_search setup with the same XAI_API_KEY and let you pick an x_search model.
  • Kimi can ask for the Moonshot API region (api.moonshot.ai vs api.moonshot.cn) and the default Kimi web-search model.

Options

  • --section <section>: repeatable section filter
Available sections:
  • workspace
  • model
  • web
  • gateway
  • daemon
  • channels
  • plugins
  • skills
  • health
Notes:
  • Choosing where the Gateway runs always updates gateway.mode. You can select “Continue” without other sections if that is all you need.
  • Channel-oriented services (Slack/Discord/Matrix/Microsoft Teams) prompt for channel/room allowlists during setup. You can enter names or IDs; the wizard resolves names to IDs when possible.
  • If you run the daemon install step, token auth requires a token, and gateway.auth.token is SecretRef-managed, configure validates the SecretRef but does not persist resolved plaintext token values into supervisor service environment metadata.
  • If token auth requires a token and the configured token SecretRef is unresolved, configure blocks daemon install with actionable remediation guidance.
  • If both gateway.auth.token and gateway.auth.password are configured and gateway.auth.mode is unset, configure blocks daemon install until mode is set explicitly.
