How to use the AshnaAI API in OpenClaw, Cline, and Codex

What you will set up

Every tool on this page uses the same key and the same base URL. Only the path changes. Cursor and VS Code have their own click paths: How to use the AshnaAI API in Cursor and How to use the AshnaAI API in VS Code.

Step 1: Create an AshnaAI API key

Create the key once. Reuse it for OpenClaw, Cline, Continue, and Codex.

1. Open Account → API.
2. Choose Create key and name it after the harness you will try first.
3. Copy the secret immediately. It is shown once.
4. Keep it out of git and a public config file.

Step 2: Choose the path your tool already uses

Set the base to https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api Then use the path the harness already posts to. The wrong path is the usual 404.

Step 3: OpenClaw

Official notes: OpenClaw providers.

1. Open the OpenClaw provider settings.
2. Set the provider base to https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
3. Paste the key from Step 1.
4. Pick openai-completions, anthropic-messages, or openai-responses.
5. Send one turn. openai-completions hits /chat/completions. anthropic-messages hits /v1/messages. openai-responses hits /responses.

Step 4: Cline

Official notes: Cline OpenAI Compatible.

1. Open Cline provider settings.
2. Choose the OpenAI Compatible provider.
3. Set API Base to https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
4. Paste the API Key from Step 1.
5. Set Model to glm-5.3-flash or another catalog id.
6. Send one Cline turn. Cline posts to /chat/completions.

Step 5: Continue

Official notes: Continue OpenAI.

1. Open the Continue model config.
2. Add an OpenAI-compatible model.
3. Set apiBase to https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
4. Set apiKey to the secret from Step 1.
5. Set model to glm-5.3-flash or another catalog id.
6. Save and send one chat. Continue posts to /chat/completions.

Step 6: Codex CLI

Official notes: Codex CLI.

1. Open the shell that launches Codex.
2. Export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.ashna.ai/v1/api
3. Export OPENAI_API_KEY=<the secret from Step 1>.
4. Start Codex from that same shell.
5. Send one turn. Codex posts to /v1/api/responses, not /chat/completions.
