OpenClaw Integration with Deplora LLM

Use Deplora's Web3-native AI models directly from OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent CLI by @steipete.

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that lives in your terminal, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord. It features persistent memory, skills, cron jobs, and multi-platform access — all hackable and self-hosted.

Prerequisites

  • A Deplora API Key with an active subscription
  • A computer with terminal access (macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL)
  • Node.js > 24 installed

1. Install OpenClaw

Install the OpenClaw agent globally via npm:

npm install -g openclaw@latest

Verify the installation:

openclaw --version

2. Install Deplora CLI

To connect Deplora to OpenClaw, install the official Deplora CLI package:

npm i -g deplora

3. Configure Deplora as the Provider

Once the deplora package is installed globally, authenticate and configure OpenClaw to recognize Deplora models.

Run the following command, replacing YOUR_DEPLORA_API_KEY with your actual key:

deplora --openclaw --api-key YOUR_DEPLORA_API_KEY

What this command does:

Validates Installation

Confirms the deplora package is correctly hooked into the OpenClaw environment.

Updates Configuration

Modifies the ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json configuration file to include the Deplora endpoints.

Registers Models

Automatically registers deplora-one and deplora-core into the OpenClaw model registry.

Sets Default Model

Configures deplora/deplora-one as the default model for OpenClaw operations.


4. Verify the Installation

After running the configuration command, verify that the models have been successfully added:

openclaw models list

You should see an output similar to:

Model                           Input     Ctx      Local Auth  Tags
deplora-one                     text      63k      no    yes   default,configured,alias:Deplora One
deplora-core                    text      195k     no    yes   configured

5. Open the Web UI

Launch the OpenClaw dashboard to access the web UI and start chatting with your Deplora-powered agent:

You are now ready to use Deplora's Web3-native models directly from OpenClaw — analyze tokens, audit smart contracts, and track on-chain activity through natural conversation.
