Manifest Now Supports Claude Pro/Max Subscriptions Without API Key
Direct Claude Subscription Integration
Manifest has added support for connecting Claude Pro or Claude Max subscriptions directly, eliminating the need for an API key. This addresses the most requested feature since Manifest's launch, as many OpenClaw users have Claude subscriptions but lack API keys.
How It Works
Users connect their existing Claude plan to Manifest, which then routes requests across models using the subscription. Manifest is an open source routing layer that sends each OpenClaw request to the cheapest model capable of handling it, with most users reducing costs by 60-80%.
Fallback Configuration
For users who also have API keys connected, Manifest can be configured to fall back to the API key when subscription rate limits are reached. This ensures agents continue running regardless of rate limit constraints.
Availability
The feature is currently live and available for immediate use. Manifest is hosted on GitHub at github.com/mnfst/manifest.
