Overview

OpenClaw Zero Token is a fork of OpenClaw that focuses on removing API token cost by driving the official web UIs (browser login) instead of paid API keys.

Why Zero Token?

Traditional usage	Zero Token way
Buy API tokens	Completely free
Pay per request	No enforced quota
Credit card required	Browser login only
API tokens may leak	Credentials stored local

Supported providers

Provider	Status	Models (examples)
DeepSeek	✅ tested	deepseek-chat, deepseek-reasoner
Qwen International	✅ tested	Qwen 3.5 Plus, Qwen 3.5 Turbo
Qwen China	✅ tested	Qwen 3.5 Plus, Qwen 3.5 Turbo
Kimi	✅ tested	Moonshot v1 8K / 32K / 128K
Claude Web	✅ tested	claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-6, claude-haiku-4-6
Doubao	✅ tested	doubao-seed-2.0, doubao-pro
ChatGPT Web	✅ tested	GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo
Gemini Web	✅ tested	Gemini Pro, Gemini Ultra
Grok Web	✅ tested	Grok 1, Grok 2
GLM Web (Zhipu)	✅ tested	glm-4-Plus, glm-4-Think
GLM Web (International)	✅ tested	GLM-4 Plus, GLM-4 Think
Xiaomi MiMo	✅ tested	MiMo 2.0, MiMo 2.5 Pro
Manus API	✅ tested	Manus 1.6, Manus 1.6 Lite (API key, free quota)

Tool calling

Web models can call local tools (web_search, web_fetch, exec, read, write, message) via prompt-injected tool definitions. Based on arXiv:2407.04997 and ComfyUI LLM Party (5k+ stars).

11/13 web models support tool calling (verified):

Model	Tool Calling	Chat	Notes
DeepSeek	✅	✅	exec: list desktop files
Kimi	✅	✅	All 6 tools verified
Claude	✅	✅	web_search OK
ChatGPT	✅	✅	web_search OK
Qwen CN	✅	✅	web_search OK
Qwen Web	✅	✅	web_search OK
Grok	✅	✅	web_search OK
Gemini	✅	⚠️	web_search OK, DOM polling unstable
Xiaomi MiMo	✅	✅	web_search OK
GLM	✅	✅	Tool calling and chat OK
GLM Intl	✅	✅	Tool calling and chat OK
Doubao	❌	⚠️	Excluded (stream parser limitation)
Perplexity	—	✅	Search engine, no tool injection

The middleware (src/zero-token/tool-calling/) only injects tool prompts when keywords in the user message suggest a tool action — normal chat stays short to reduce ban risk.

Agent file access is restricted by the configured workspace directory (see agents.defaults.workspace).

Extra features

AskOnce: one question, answers from all models.
AskOnce can broadcast a single query to multiple configured providers and show their replies side by side.

How It Works

High-level architecture

…

DeepSeek auth flow (example)

1. Start browser
   openclaw gateway  ──▶  Chrome (CDP: 18892, user-data-dir)

2. User logs in
   Browser  ──▶  https://chat.deepseek.com  (scan / password login)

3. Capture credentials
   Playwright CDP  ──▶  listen network requests
                    └─▶ intercept Authorization header + cookies

4. Store credentials
   auth.json  ◀──  { cookie, bearer, userAgent }

5. Call web API
   DeepSeek WebClient  ──▶  DeepSeek Web API  ──▶  chat.deepseek.com
   (reuses stored cookie + bearer token)

Quick Start

Platforms

macOS / Linux: follow START_HERE.md; full install/config in INSTALLATION.md.

Windows: use WSL2 and then follow the Linux steps. Install WSL2: wsl --install, docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install

Requirements

Node.js >= 22.12.0
pnpm >= 9.0.0
Chrome browser
OS: macOS, Linux, or Windows (via WSL2)

Helper scripts (first-time & daily use)

First-time:
  1. Build          pnpm install && pnpm build && pnpm ui:build
  2. Start Chrome   ./start-chrome-debug.sh
  3. Login sites    Qwen intl/cn, Kimi, DeepSeek, ...
  4. Onboard        ./onboard.sh webauth
  5. Start server   ./server.sh

Daily:
  start-chrome-debug.sh → onboard.sh → server.sh
  server.sh [start|stop|restart|status] manages the gateway

Script overview (core 3 scripts):

Script	Purpose	When to use
`start-chrome-debug.sh`	Start Chrome in debug mode	Step 2: open browser on port 9222 for logins + onboarding
`onboard.sh`	Auth/onboarding wizard	Step 4/5: select provider (e.g. `deepseek-web`) and capture credentials
`server.sh`	Manage gateway service	Step 5 & daily use: `start` / `stop` / `restart` / `status` on port 3001

Installation

Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/linuxhsj/openclaw-zero-token.git
cd openclaw-zero-token
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build

Configure authentication

# Start Chrome in debug mode (keep this terminal open)
./start-chrome-debug.sh

# Log into each web model in the browser tabs that open
# (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc.)

# In a NEW terminal, run the auth wizard
./onboard.sh webauth

Start the gateway

./server.sh

Open the Web UI at the URL printed in the terminal.

Clean rebuild (if you get `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`)

rm -rf dist dist-runtime node_modules
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build
./server.sh restart

Note: Always use pnpm build (not npm run build). If you see hash mismatch errors like Cannot find module dist/xxx-HASH.js, do a clean rebuild as shown above.

Step 3: Start the gateway

./server.sh

This will start the HTTP gateway and Web UI.

Usage

Web UI

After ./server.sh the Web UI is started automatically. Open it in your browser and chat with any configured model.

Switch models

Use /model inside the chat box:

# Switch to Claude Web
/model claude-web

# Switch to Doubao
/model doubao-web

# Switch to DeepSeek
/model deepseek-web

# Or specify exact models
/model claude-web/claude-sonnet-4-6
/model doubao-web/doubao-seed-2.0
/model deepseek-web/deepseek-chat

Claude Web: Prefer the full model id: /model claude-web/claude-sonnet-4-6 (matches the catalog default). /model claude-web alone can fail to resolve or pick the intended model in some setups.

List available models

/models

Important: Only providers configured via ./onboard.sh webauth are written into openclaw.json and shown in /models.

The output shows:

All available providers (e.g. claude-web, doubao-web, deepseek-web)
Models under each provider
Currently active model
Aliases and config

Example:

Model                                      Input      Ctx      Local Auth  Tags
doubao-web/doubao-seed-2.0                 text       63k      no    no    default,configured,alias:Doubao Browser
claude-web/claude-sonnet-4-6         text+image 195k     no    no    configured,alias:Claude Web
deepseek-web/deepseek-chat                 text       64k      no    no    configured

HTTP API

curl http://127.0.0.1:3001/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GATEWAY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-web/deepseek-chat",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

CLI / TUI

node openclaw.mjs tui

Configuration

Example `openclaw.json`

…

Troubleshooting

First run: use the onboarding wizard (recommended)

./onboard.sh webauth

The wizard will create all required directories and basic files.

Fix issues: doctor command

If you already ran the project but see missing-directories or similar errors:

node dist/index.mjs doctor

The doctor command will:

✅ Check all required directories
✅ Create missing directories
✅ Fix common permission issues
✅ Validate config file structure
✅ Detect multiple conflicting state directories
✅ Print detailed suggestions

Limitations:

❌ Does not create openclaw.json
❌ Does not create auth-profiles.json
✅ If those are missing/corrupt, rerun ./onboard.sh webauth

Roadmap

Current focus

✅ DeepSeek Web, Qwen intl/cn, Kimi, Claude Web, Doubao, ChatGPT Web, Gemini Web, Grok Web, GLM Web, GLM intl, Xiaomi MiMo, Manus API — all tested
Improve credential capture robustness
Documentation improvements

Planned

Auto-refresh for expired web sessions

Adding New Platforms

To add a new web provider you usually need:

1. Auth module (`src/zero-token/providers/{platform}-web-auth.ts`)

export async function loginPlatformWeb(params: {
  onProgress: (msg: string) => void;
  openUrl: (url: string) => Promise<boolean>;
}): Promise<{ cookie: string; bearer: string; userAgent: string }> {
  // Automate browser login and capture credentials
}

2. API client (`src/zero-token/providers/{platform}-web-client*.ts`)

export class PlatformWebClient {
  constructor(options: { cookie: string; bearer?: string }) {}

  async chatCompletions(params: ChatParams): Promise<ReadableStream> {
    // Call platform web API
  }
}

3. Stream handler (`src/zero-token/streams/{platform}-web-stream.ts`) and register it in `web-stream-factories.ts`

export function createPlatformWebStreamFn(credentials: string): StreamFn {
