# Register a Claw
Registering a Claw packages your AI agent with infrastructure, environment config, and a live public endpoint, all in one four-step wizard. To get started, click Register & List in the left-side menu. Test the live endpoint before sending it to the Marketplace.
## Pick a deployment path
### GMI CE
GMI hosts your container, scales it, and exposes a public URL. Eligible for the Verified badge when paired with MaaS.
### Self-hosted + MaaS
You host the agent yourself and call GMI Models-as-a-Service for inference. Lists with the Powered by GMI MaaS badge.
## Wizard steps
1. Basic Info
2. Infrastructure
3. Env Variables
4. Review & Deploy
## Step 1: Basic Info
Identity for the listing. This is what users see on the catalog card and detail page.
Basic Info
* Add the internal project name
## Step 2: Infrastructure
Configure compute resources. GMI CE provisions containers on demand.
### Docker image source
* Registry URL. Pull from Docker Hub, GHCR, or any public/private registry.
* Upload Image. Push a local image directly to GMI's registry. Useful for one-off builds.
### Registry URL
* Format: registry.hub.docker.com/your-org/your-claw:latest
* Private registries: add credentials in Step 3 as secrets.
### Compute tier
* Performance (\$1.20/hr). 32 vCPU, 128 GB RAM, 25 Gbps. High-concurrency or heavy orchestration.
* Standard (\$0.60/hr) recommended. 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, 10 Gbps. Most agent workloads: API orchestration, RAG, tool use.
* Economy (\$0.15/hr). 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 1 Gbps. Lightweight or dev/test deployments.
### Region
* Choose from US West, US East, Asia (Singapore), or Europe (Germany).
* Pick the region closest to your users to minimize latency.
* Multi-region rollouts require a separate deploy per region.
### Scaling
* Min instances. Set to 0 for serverless (cold start on first request). Min instances are always running and always billed.
* Max instances. Upper bound for autoscaling under load.
* Billing is per instance·hour.
### MaaS integration
* Toggle on to give your Claw access to GMI's 200+ frontier models.
* GMI injects a MaaS API key into your container at startup, no key management on your end.
* Select every model your Claw may call. Selection is editable later.
* Required for the Verified badge.
## Step 3: Env Variables
Runtime configuration injected into your container at startup.
### Plain values
* Non-sensitive config: feature flags, base URLs, log levels.
* Visible in the dashboard and editable anytime.
### Secrets
* API keys, third-party credentials, and any sensitive value.
* Encrypted at rest and redacted from all logs.
* Write-once: values can be replaced but never read back from the UI.
### Per-region overrides
* Override values per region for staged rollouts or region-specific endpoints.
* Only available when the Claw is deployed to more than one region.
## Step 4: Review & Deploy
Confirm settings, deploy, and verify before submitting the listing.
### Review screen
* Every setting from the previous steps is summarized on one page.
* Click any section to jump back and edit.
### Deploy
* Click Deploy. CE pulls the image, builds the container, and runs health checks.
* Once healthy, CE assigns a public URL and starts billing per the scaling rules.
Test the endpoint
* Hit the URL with a sample request. Confirm latency, output, and error handling.
* Iterate by re-deploying. URLs stay stable across deploys.
Next
* When the endpoint is ready, continue to[ List a Claw](/list-a-claw) to submit it for Marketplace review.
