Your browser opens the OpenClaw console, typically available at http://127.0.0.1:18789. If the console does not open automatically, navigate to the URL manually.

Go to the configuration page

In the navigation pane on the left, choose Config > Authentication. Then click Raw below the menu.

Add Model Studio configuration
