Klaus AI

aid: klaus-ai
name: Klaus AI
description: Klaus is a managed cloud hosting platform for OpenClaw AI agents, built by Usebits Inc (Y Combinator W26, San
  Francisco) and founded by Bailey Wickham and Robbie Thompson. Klaus provisions an isolated, pre-configured OpenClaw instance
  on dedicated AWS ARM compute in about five minutes, with messaging channels (Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord),
  Google Workspace, browser automation via Chromium and a Chrome Browser Relay extension, AgentMail email, GitHub backup,
  Tailscale SSH, scheduled cron tasks, semantic memory backed by OpenRouter embeddings, and instance webhooks that let external
  services trigger the agent over authenticated HTTP. Model access is brokered through OpenRouter with bring-your-own-key
  and ChatGPT-subscription options. The platform is operated through the Klaus web dashboard and a first-party command-line
  client published to npm as @klausai/cli, which talks to a tRPC API at api.klausai.com and proxies an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions
  endpoint. Authentication is by API key or an OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628).

  name: Klaus Platform API
  description: The Klaus platform API at api.klausai.com is a tRPC RPC surface used by the first-party @klausai/cli command-line
    client to manage OpenClaw instances, agents, integrations, models, and chat sessions, plus an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions
    proxy at /openclaw/v1/chat/completions for sending messages to an agent. Requests authenticate with an x-api-key API key
    created at klausai.com/account, or with a bearer session token obtained through the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant.
    The active instance is selected with an x-klaus-instance-id request header. Klaus publishes no OpenAPI description of
    this surface; the operations catalogued here were read from the provider's own published npm client bundle.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
