Crypto for OpenClaw

Crypto is the crypto payment option for digital currencies. With OpenClaw, the open-source agent gateway with MCP support, your agent can create payment links and invoices — customers then pay with Crypto. The bridge is zahls.ch remote MCP: create an account, activate Crypto, connect MCP in OpenClaw. Your agent uses the tools directly; transactions and payouts stay in the zahls.ch dashboard.

OpenClaw is an open-source agent gateway: you run a gateway process and connect chat channels plus tools — including MCP servers.

Via zahls.ch remote MCP, OpenClaw gets the same payment tools as Cursor or Claude: create payment links, invoices and donations, query transactions. Authenticate with X-API-KEY and X-Instance.

Your agent can drive payments without building a custom glue API. For async events when a payment arrives, still add webhooks.

Suitable for developers and teams running OpenClaw self-hosted who need Swiss payments in agent workflows.
