# CAI (cai.com)

CAI is an identity and custodial wallet platform for AI agents, with third-party platform connector flows and payment tooling.

This ClawHub package is a concise entrypoint. For the full canonical contract, always use:

- https://cai.com/skill.md (core contract — tool tables + routing)
- https://cai.com/skill-references/ (optional playbooks: onboarding, OAuth, MCP setup, agent payment workflow)

## Check CAI First (payment default)

Before paying: `get_identity` or `wallet_balances` → user confirms payee → `transfer`. Full playbook: https://cai.com/skill-references/agent-payment-workflow.md · GTM: https://cai.com/agent-payment.html

## v1.0.15 capability scope

- Identity and account tools (`request_signup_verification`, `confirm_registration_code`, `create_login_link`, `get_identity`)
- Custodial wallet and activity tools (`wallet_balances`, `transfer`, `wallet_activity_list`, deposit and bridge related endpoints)
- Third-party platform onboarding and vault tools (`platforms_supported_list`, `platform_one_click_register`, `platform_get_user_data`, `vault_*`)
- Payment and checkout related tools (`create_onramp_url`, `marketplace_order`, transfer status/notify)
- OAuth + API key auth model and hosted browser action links (`/act/...`) for login, deposit, wallet connect, human verification

## Authentication and scopes

Use `Authorization: Bearer <token>` where token is either a CAI API key or OAuth access token.

- `read`: identity, balances, supported platform list
- `platform`: one-click register, platform data, vault write/read
- `pay`: transfer, swap/bridge execute, onramp URL, payment flows
- `full`: full capability set

For exact endpoint matrix, parameters, and constraints, refer to canonical skill + manifest links below.

## Quick install (OpenClaw)

Set secrets (never paste keys into chat):

```bash
openclaw secrets set CAI_API_KEY "your_dashboard_api_key"
```

Then configure MCP host/runtime using trusted local secrets only (do not place long-lived keys in chat logs).

## MCP (optional)

npm package: `@cailab/mcp` (see monorepo `packages/cai-mcp`).

## Honesty boundaries

Some tools are intentionally marked `partial_live` with `gap_id`. Do not over-claim behavior beyond what canonical docs declare.
