Klaus AI

Klaus is a managed cloud hosting platform for OpenClaw AI agents, built by Usebits Inc (Y Combinator W26, San Francisco) and founded by Bailey Wickham and Robbie Thompson. Klaus provisions an isolated, pre-configured OpenClaw instance on dedicated AWS ARM compute in about five minutes, with messaging channels (Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord), Google Workspace, browser automation via Chromium and a Chrome Browser Relay extension, AgentMail email, GitHub backup, Tailscale SSH, scheduled cron tasks, semantic memory backed by OpenRouter embeddings, and instance webhooks that let external services trigger the agent over authenticated HTTP. Model access is brokered through OpenRouter with bring-your-own-key and ChatGPT-subscription options. The platform is operated through the Klaus web dashboard and a first-party command-line client published to npm as @klausai/cli, which talks to a tRPC API at api.klausai.com and proxies an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint. Authentication is by API key or an OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628).

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Klaus AI the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Klaus AI scores 36.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 27/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Klaus AI

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Klaus AI. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Klaus Platform API

The Klaus platform API at api.klausai.com is a tRPC RPC surface used by the first-party @klausai/cli command-line client to manage OpenClaw instances, agents, integrations, mode...

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
