Claude Pro/Max Subscription with OpenClaw — Why We Don’t Offer It | OpenClaw Launch

Short answer: not on a hosted instance. Anthropic prohibits third-party services from routing requests through Claude Pro or Max plan credentials, and has blocked subscription tokens outside Claude Code since January 2026.

So if you self-host OpenClaw and it drives the official CLI on your own hardware, that's between you and Anthropic's consumer terms. What we won't do is take custody of your subscription credential and route your bot's traffic through it — that's the part the policy names, and the risk lands on your account, not ours.
