oauth-coder-bridge

Routes OpenClaw Anthropic API calls through oauth-coder (Claude CLI with OAuth), no API key needed.

Local HTTP bridge: OpenClaw → oauth-coder → real claude CLI (OAuth tokens, no API key).

Upstream: codeninja/oauth-cli-coder

Prerequisites

• oauth-coder installed and authenticated (claude login)
• Binary on PATH or set OAUTH_CODER_BIN

Install & Run

bash

bash scripts/setup.sh              # copies bridge, adds claude-cli provider to openclaw.json
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/oauth-coder-bridge.py &
# Or: systemctl --user enable --now oauth-coder-bridge

Verify

bash

curl http://127.0.0.1:8787/health  # → {"status":"ok"}
openclaw models set claude         # use alias
openclaw models set claude-cli/claude-opus-4-6  # or full path

Models

Opus: claude-opus-4-6, claude-opus-4-5, claude-opus-4-1, claude-opus-4-0 Sonnet: claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-5, claude-sonnet-4-0, claude-3-7-sonnet-latest, claude-3-5-sonnet-latest Haiku: claude-haiku-4-5, claude-3-5-haiku-latest

All prefixed with claude-cli/ (e.g. claude-cli/claude-opus-4-6).

How It Works

text

OpenClaw → HTTP :8787 → oauth-coder-bridge → oauth-coder → claude CLI

Bridge translates Anthropic-messages JSON → oauth-coder ask claude ... subprocess calls.

Config (env vars)

Variable	Default	Description
OAUTH_CODER_BIN	$HOME/bin/oauth-coder	Path to binary
OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_PORT	8787	Listen port
OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_HOST	127.0.0.1	Bind address
OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_TIMEOUT	300	Request timeout (s)
OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_MAX_PROMPT	100000	Max prompt length
OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_LOG_FILE	(empty)	Log file (stderr only if unset)

Security

• Binds localhost only
• Rate limited: 30 req/min per IP
• Prompts pass through to claude CLI subprocess
• If LOG_FILE is set, prompts/responses may be logged locally

Troubleshooting

bash

curl http://127.0.0.1:8787/health    # check bridge
which oauth-coder                     # check binary
claude login                          # re-auth
oauth-coder stop-all                  # clear stuck sessions
