# manifest-provider

Cloud provider plugin for [Manifest](https://manifest.build) — the smart LLM router for [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai).

Picks the best model for each request based on a multi-dimension complexity score, balancing quality, speed, and cost automatically. Supports 10+ providers with tier-based routing and fallbacks.

## Install

```bash
openclaw plugins install manifest-provider
openclaw providers setup manifest-provider
openclaw gateway restart
```

The setup wizard prompts for your API key from [app.manifest.build](https://app.manifest.build). After setup, use `manifest/auto` as your model.

You can also set the key via environment variable for CI/CD: `export MANIFEST_API_KEY=mnfst_...`

## What it does

- Registers Manifest as a provider in OpenClaw with the `auto` model
- Interactive auth onboarding via `openclaw providers setup manifest-provider`
- Agent tools: `manifest_usage`, `manifest_costs`, `manifest_health`
- `/manifest` status command

## Self-hosted / Local mode

For a self-hosted server with SQLite and a local dashboard, install the full package instead:

```bash
openclaw plugins install manifest
```

See the [manifest](https://www.npmjs.com/package/manifest) package.
