# How to connect Bing Webmaster Tools to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 13 tools) > Connect Bing Webmaster Tools to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Bing Webmaster Tools key once and 13 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/bing-webmaster-tools Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Bing Webmaster Tools access start with registering your own OAuth app or pasting API keys into env files, then leave the token refresh and tool wiring to you. ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Bing Webmaster Tools setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Bing Webmaster Tools for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Bing Webmaster Tools. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Bing Webmaster Tools** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **Paste this into Hermes to set up ClawLink:** > Set up ClawLink for Hermes and tell me when it's ready. > 1. Install the plugin: `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable` > 2. Start pairing with `hermes clawlink begin`. It prints an approval link, so show me the link and stop, don't wait. > 3. I'll approve it in my browser, then reply "approved". > 4. When I say approved, finish setup: `hermes clawlink finish` > 5. Then run `hermes clawlink test` and tell me whether ClawLink is ready. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the Hermes Agent plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect bing-webmaster-tools # connect Bing Webmaster Tools (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions bing-webmaster-tools # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run bing-webmaster-tools --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The prompt above walks Hermes through this. By hand, it is four commands and a browser approval: ```bash hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable hermes clawlink begin # prints an approval link — open it and approve hermes clawlink finish # after approving in the browser hermes clawlink test ``` Then connect Bing Webmaster Tools in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Bing Webmaster Tools API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Bing Webmaster Tools, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### Using a different agent? The Hermes plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Bing Webmaster Tools is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 13 Bing Webmaster Tools tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Bing Webmaster Tools to Hermes Agent and exposes 13 Bing Webmaster Tools tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using OpenClaw instead? The [OpenClaw Bing Webmaster Tools integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/bing-webmaster-tools) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Bing Webmaster Tools integration can do 13 Bing Webmaster Tools tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 13 Bing Webmaster Tools tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get crawl diagnostics** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_crawl_diagnostics` | Read crawl issues or daily crawl statistics for a verified site | | **Get feeds** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_feeds` | List a site's submitted sitemaps and feeds, or inspect one feed's child details | | **Get inbound links** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_inbound_links` | Read inbound-link counts across a site or link details for one target URL, one provider page at | | **Get page performance** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_page_performance` | Read traffic for one owned URL, its search queries, or a paged set of child URLs | | **Get query performance** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_query_performance` | Analyze one Bing search query over time, across ranking pages, or for one query-page pair | | **Get search performance** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_search_performance` | Read site-level Bing search performance as daily totals, top queries, or top pages | | **Get submission quotas** `bing_webmaster_tools_get_submission_quotas` | Get remaining daily and monthly URL and/or content submission quotas for a verified site | | **Inspect URL** `bing_webmaster_tools_inspect_url` | Get Bing index and crawl metadata for one page or directory in a verified site | | **List child URLS** `bing_webmaster_tools_list_child_urls` | Return one Bing index-detail page for URLs below a directory or container, with optional crawl | | **List sites** `bing_webmaster_tools_list_sites` | List the sites associated with the connected Bing Webmaster Tools user, including verification | | **Research keywords** `bing_webmaster_tools_research_keywords` | Get Bing keyword impressions, historical statistics, or related keyword ideas for a country and | | **Submit feed** `bing_webmaster_tools_submit_feed` | Submit a sitemap or feed URL for non-recallable Bing processing; do not retry when the | | **Submit URLS** `bing_webmaster_tools_submit_urls` | Submit one to 500 owned URLs to Bing, consuming URL-submission quota and starting a | ## Example prompts **Get Crawl Diagnostics** > Pull the relevant data from Bing Webmaster Tools, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Feeds** > Pull the relevant data from Bing Webmaster Tools, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Inbound Links** > Pull the relevant data from Bing Webmaster Tools, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Page Performance** > Pull the relevant data from Bing Webmaster Tools, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Bing Webmaster Tools working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Bing Webmaster Tools API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Bing Webmaster Tools account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Bing Webmaster Tools. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Bing Webmaster Tools actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 13 tools for Bing Webmaster Tools are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Bing Webmaster Tools to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for Hermes Agent users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Bing Webmaster Tools in the browser, and the 13 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Bing Webmaster Tools key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Bing Webmaster Tools Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Bing Webmaster Tools from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Bing Webmaster Tools tools Bing Webmaster Tools tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Bing Webmaster Tools call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Bing Webmaster Tools returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Bing Webmaster Tools has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Bing Webmaster Tools integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Bing Webmaster Tools: link your Bing Webmaster Tools account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Bing Webmaster Tools API through 13 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Bing Webmaster Tools to Hermes with ClawLink? Install the plugin with `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable`, then pair once: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, and run `hermes clawlink finish`. Connect Bing Webmaster Tools in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Bing Webmaster Tools key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Bing Webmaster Tools to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Bing Webmaster Tools in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Bing Webmaster Tools up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Bing Webmaster Tools working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Bing Webmaster Tools Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ## Related - [PostHog](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/posthog) — Track user behavior and feature flags - [DataforSEO](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/dataforseo) — SEO data APIs for keywords, SERP, and site audits - [Metabase tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/metabase) — Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets you ask questions about your data and visualize answers as charts, graphs, and dashboards.
