# apifare for OpenClaw

One prepaid, capped key for every API your agent needs, under hard caps and a kill switch.

1. Get a token: https://apifare.com/start?origin=page:integrations-openclaw (shown once).
2. Run this once. It saves apifare under mcp.servers in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. You can also add it in the Control UI under Settings → MCP → Add server.

```
openclaw mcp add apifare --command npx --arg -y --arg apifare-mcp --env APIPAY_TOKEN=<your-token>
```

   Replace <your-token> with your token. Check it with openclaw mcp doctor apifare --probe, which actually starts the server, then run openclaw mcp reload so running agents pick it up.
3. Try it: "search the web for X", then "fetch a URL", then "what's the weather in London".
4. Caps and the kill switch are checked before dispatch. An empty balance returns HTTP 402 with a top-up link (see /errors.md).
