# Deploying OpenClaw on Alibaba Cloud and Integrating AGIPower: A Hands-on Guide

> With [AGIPower](https://agipower.ai/), you can be among the first to try:
>
> * **OpenAI GPT-5.2** — A general-purpose LLM with top-tier code generation and logical reasoning
> * **Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6** — Ultra-long context, ideal for complex document processing
> * **Google Gemini 3.1 Pro** — Native multimodal support with strong image-and-text understanding
>
> 💡 **No need to register separately for overseas platforms like OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic**—one AGIPower account covers it all, so you can skip complicated credit card binding and regional restrictions.

## Deploy OpenClaw

> Deploying OpenClaw itself isn’t complicated. If you don’t have a spare Mac, a cloud server is a good option. Cloud servers are online 24/7, don’t suffer from power outages, and don’t consume your local machine’s resources. Major cloud providers also offer one-click OpenClaw deployment solutions. This guide uses Alibaba Cloud and costs only ~~RMB 68/year~~ (it seems the promotion has ended; you can purchase monthly to try it out).

[Deploy the OpenClaw image and build a DingTalk AI employee](https://help.aliyun.com/zh/simple-application-server/use-cases/quickly-deploy-and-use-openclaw)

> **Alibaba Cloud integrates Bailian API Key by default**, which comes with some free quota—enough to get the Web UI and DingTalk integration working.

## Configure AGIPower

### Prerequisites

1. OpenClaw has been deployed on the server and is running properly
2. You have registered a AGIPower account and obtained an API key

***

### Step 1: Get a AGIPower API Key

1. Log in to the [AGIPower Console](https://agipower.ai)
2. Go to the **API Keys** page
3. Click **Create new key**
4. Copy the generated key (format: `sk-ss-v1-xxxx` or `sk-xxxx`)

> Notes:
>
> * Prefix `sk-ss-v1-`: Subscription plan (monthly billing)
> * Prefix `sk-`: Pay-as-you-go plan

***

### Step 2: Edit the OpenClaw Configuration

Log in to the server and edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (default path on Alibaba Cloud servers is `/home/admin/.openclaw`). Update the `models` and `agents` sections:

```json theme={null}
{
  "models": {
    "mode": "merge",
    "providers": {
      "agipower": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.agipower.ai/v1",
        "apiKey": "sk-ss-v1-replace-with-your-agipower-api-key",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [
          {
            "id": "openai/gpt-5.2",
            "name": "GPT-5.2 via AGIPower",
            "reasoning": false,
            "input": ["text", "image"],
            "cost": {
              "input": 0,
              "output": 0,
              "cacheRead": 0,
              "cacheWrite": 0
            },
            "contextWindow": 200000,
            "maxTokens": 8192
          },
          {
            "id": "google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview",
            "name": "Gemini 3.1 Pro via AGIPower",
            "reasoning": false,
            "input": ["text", "image"],
            "cost": {
              "input": 0,
              "output": 0,
              "cacheRead": 0,
              "cacheWrite": 0
            },
            "contextWindow": 200000,
            "maxTokens": 8192
          },
          {
            "id": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
            "name": "Claude Sonnet 4.6 via AGIPower",
            "reasoning": false,
            "input": ["text", "image"],
            "cost": {
              "input": 0,
              "output": 0,
              "cacheRead": 0,
              "cacheWrite": 0
            },
            "contextWindow": 200000,
            "maxTokens": 8192
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "agipower/openai/gpt-5.2"
      },
      "models": {
        "agipower/openai/gpt-5.2": {},
        "agipower/google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview": {},
        "agipower/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6": {}
      }
    }
  }
}
```

***

### Step 3: Verify the Configuration

Run on the server:

```bash theme={null}
# View the list of available models
openclaw models list
```

A successful setup means AGIPower models like `agipower/openai/gpt-5.2` appear in the list.

Example output:

```
NAME                                PROVIDER    ID
openai/gpt-5.2                      agipower      openai/gpt-5.2
google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview       agipower      google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6         agipower      anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
```

Then run:

```bash theme={null}
# Set the default model
openclaw models set agipower/openai/gpt-5.2

# Test a conversation
openclaw agent --local --agent main --message "Hello, just testing"
```

***

## Additional Configuration

The following configuration is strongly recommended: web search & Browser.

> In theory, you can also ask OpenClaw to install these via chat, but in my experience it can end up breaking itself 😅. In the end, I installed Claude Code on the server to help me debug OpenClaw. Below is the ~~old-school~~ manual setup process.

***

### Web Search Configuration (Tavily)

The Alibaba Cloud OpenClaw app image comes with a built-in web search Skill based on SearXNG, but in practice it often times out or fails to find results. The officially recommended Brave has a relatively high registration cost, so **Tavily** is recommended here. It’s easy to sign up and provides 1,000 free requests per month.

#### Step 1: Sign Up and Get an API Key

Go to the [Tavily website](https://tavily.com) to register, then retrieve your API key from the console.

![openclaw-alibaba](https://cdn.marmot-cloud.com/storage/agipower/2026/03/02/VAVtdUO/1772450803550-28c2a035-c83a-4bbc-95fb-5d2cc6e31551.png)

> Tip: You can also click **Generate MCP Link** and send the generated link to OpenClaw to have it automatically add the MCP service.

#### Step 2: Install the Tavily Plugin

```bash theme={null}
openclaw plugins install openclaw-tavily
```

#### Step 3: Restart the Gateway

```bash theme={null}
openclaw gateway restart
```

#### Step 4: Configure the Plugin

Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and add:

```json theme={null}
{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "openclaw-tavily": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "apiKey": "tvly-..."
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Step 5: Verify the Configuration

Just tell OpenClaw to prefer Tavily for web search going forward.

![openclaw-alibaba](https://cdn.marmot-cloud.com/storage/agipower/2026/03/02/xB6mFxR/1772451999609-01d4ca0e-4816-4c5f-8a30-ed67e1497260.png)

***

### Browser Configuration

The Browser tool allows OpenClaw to directly control a browser for page visits, screenshots, automation, and more.

> The steps below apply only to CentOS/OpenCloudOS environments (Alibaba Cloud ECS default OS).

#### Step 1: Install Google Chrome

```bash theme={null}
sudo yum install -y wget
sudo yum install -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
```

If installation fails, install dependencies first:

```bash theme={null}
sudo yum install -y nss atk cups-libs libdrm libXcomposite libXdamage libXrandr libgbm alsa-lib pango gtk3
sudo yum install -y liberation-fonts xdg-utils google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts
```

#### Step 2: Install Chinese Fonts

```bash theme={null}
sudo yum install -y fontconfig freetype
sudo yum install -y google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts
sudo yum install -y wqy-microhei
sudo fc-cache -f -v
```

Verify fonts:

```bash theme={null}
fc-list | grep -i -E "noto|cjk|wqy|wenquanyi" | head
```

#### Step 3: Configure Browser Options

```bash theme={null}
openclaw config set browser.executablePath "/usr/bin/google-chrome"
openclaw config set browser.defaultProfile "openclaw"
openclaw config set browser.headless true
openclaw config set browser.noSandbox true
```

#### Step 4: Restart the Gateway

```bash theme={null}
openclaw gateway restart
```

#### Step 5: Verify the Configuration

```bash theme={null}
openclaw browser status
```

Expected output: `running: true`, and it no longer shows `browser: unknown`.
Use OpenClaw Browser to take a screenshot of any Chinese website (e.g., Baidu). If Chinese renders correctly, the setup is successful.

### DingTalk AI Card Configuration

OpenClaw supports DingTalk AI interactive cards, enabling streaming output, reasoning display, and more.

> Prerequisite: You have completed the basic configuration of the DingTalk app and bot.

#### Step 1: Create an AI Card Template

1. Visit the [DingTalk Card Platform](https://open-dev.dingtalk.com/fe/card)
2. Create a new template → select the **AI Card** type → associate your DingTalk app
3. Make no changes—just save and publish
4. Record the template ID for later configuration

#### Step 2: Enable Card Permissions

Go to the DingTalk [App Development](https://open-dev.dingtalk.com/fe/app) page, select your app, and enable the following under **Permission Management**:

| Permission             | Description                              |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| ✅ Card.Instance.Write  | Create and deliver card instances        |
| ✅ Card.Streaming.Write | Streaming update permission for AI cards |

#### Step 3: Configure OpenClaw

Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and update `channels.dingtalk`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "channels": {
    "dingtalk": {
      "enabled": true,
      "clientId": "dingxxxxxx",
      "clientSecret": "your-app-secret",
      "robotCode": "dingxxxxxx",
      "messageType": "card",
      "cardTemplateId": "xxxxxx",
      "cardTemplateKey": "content",
      "dmPolicy": "open",
      "groupPolicy": "open"
    }
  }
}
```

#### Key Configuration Parameters

| Parameter       | Required | Description                                 |
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| clientId        | ✅        | DingTalk app AppKey                         |
| clientSecret    | ✅        | DingTalk app AppSecret                      |
| messageType     | ❌        | `markdown` (default) or `card`              |
| cardTemplateId  | ❌        | AI card template ID                         |
| cardTemplateKey | ❌        | Card content field; default is `content`    |
| dmPolicy        | ❌        | DM policy: `open` / `pairing` / `allowlist` |
| groupPolicy     | ❌        | Group policy: `open` / `allowlist`          |

#### Step 4: Restart and Verify

```bash theme={null}
openclaw gateway restart
```

Run a conversation test in DingTalk. If you see the card-based interactive UI, the configuration is successful.

## Use Cases

### Scheduled Task: Monitoring New AGIPower Models

Set up a scheduled task to check daily whether AGIPower has released new models, so you can try the latest capabilities as soon as possible.

![openclaw-alibaba](https://cdn.marmot-cloud.com/storage/agipower/2026/03/02/5DA3il2/1772453969722-39c7383b-0a19-464f-bbbb-ec7d1f5f460a.png)

In the Web UI, you can see the configured scheduled tasks and manually trigger them to validate the logic.

![openclaw-alibaba](https://cdn.marmot-cloud.com/storage/agipower/2026/03/02/1KIV8iV/1772453390450-a9905ca5-7984-4f2e-bc8b-dec693bca70c.png)

Actual result: the bot automatically pushes new model announcements to the DingTalk group.
