Automated Setup with Bankr CLI

The Bankr CLI can configure most tools automatically:

bankr llm setup openclaw --install   # OpenClaw
bankr llm setup opencode --install   # OpenCode
bankr llm setup claude               # Claude Code (prints env vars)
bankr llm setup cursor               # Cursor (guided instructions)

You can also launch Claude Code directly through the gateway:

bankr claude                         # shorthand for `bankr llm claude`

Install the CLI:

npm install -g @bankr/cli
bankr login

Supported Tools

Tool	Type	Configuration
Claude Code	CLI	Native Anthropic API
Codex	CLI	Not supported yet
Cursor	IDE	OpenAI-compatible
OpenCode	CLI	OpenAI-compatible

Quick Reference

Setting	Value
Base URL	https://llm.bankr.bot
API Key	Your Bankr API key (bk_...)
Model	Any supported model ID

Flexible URL Paths

The gateway accepts both https://llm.bankr.bot and https://llm.bankr.bot/v1 as the base URL. Both formats work with all SDKs — the server normalizes paths automatically.

For model IDs, see Supported Models or run bankr llm models for the live list.

Environment Setup

Use environment variables or the Bankr CLI config to manage your keys:

# Add to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile
export BANKR_API_KEY=bk_your_api_key_here

# Optional: use a separate key for LLM gateway (falls back to BANKR_API_KEY)
export BANKR_LLM_KEY=your_llm_key_here

Or configure via the CLI:

bankr login                            # set API key (interactive)
bankr config set llmKey YOUR_LLM_KEY   # set separate LLM key

Bankr Skill for OpenClaw Agents

If you're using OpenClaw, install the Bankr skill to give your agent crypto trading and DeFi capabilities — tell your agent: "install the bankr skill from https://github.com/BankrBot/skills/tree/main/bankr".

The Bankr skill can also help your agent configure the LLM gateway — it knows the available models and can guide setup. See Install the Bankr Skill for details.

Common Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized / 403 Forbidden

• Verify your key is set: bankr config get llmKey or echo $BANKR_LLM_KEY
• Check for leading/trailing spaces in the key
• Ensure the key hasn't been revoked or rotated
• A 403 means LLM Gateway isn't enabled on the key — turn it on at bankr.bot/api-keys

Model not found

• Use exact model IDs (e.g., claude-opus-4.8, not claude-3-sonnet)

Slow responses

• Try claude-haiku-4.5 or gemini-3-flash for faster responses
