login - Crabbox Docs

crabbox login opens GitHub in the browser, waits for the coordinator callback, stores the returned broker token in the user config, and verifies identity with GET /v1/whoami.

crabbox login

If the browser cannot open automatically, print the URL and paste it manually:

crabbox login --no-browser

Trusted operator automation can still write the shared coordinator token over stdin:

printf '%s' "$CRABBOX_COORDINATOR_TOKEN" | crabbox login \
  --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai \
  --provider aws \
  --token-stdin

Secrets are read from stdin so they do not land in shell history.

Flags:

--url <url>                 broker URL
--provider hetzner|aws      default provider to store with the broker
--no-browser                print the GitHub login URL instead of opening it
--token-stdin               read broker token from stdin for operator automation
--json                      print JSON

The default broker URL is https://crabbox.openclaw.ai; pass --url for another coordinator. GitHub browser login issues a user-scoped Crabbox bearer token. --token-stdin stores the shared operator token and should stay limited to trusted maintainers.
