# How to connect Gift Up! to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 44 tools) > Connect Gift Up! to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Gift Up! key once and 44 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/gift-up Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Gift Up! 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 Gift Up!. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Gift Up!** — 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 gift-up # connect Gift Up! (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions gift-up # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run gift-up --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 Gift Up! in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Gift Up! API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Gift Up!, 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 Gift Up! is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 44 Gift Up! tools over MCP.

MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Gift Up! to Hermes Agent and exposes 44 Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/gift-up) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Gift Up! integration can do 44 Gift Up! tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 44. ### 30 of 44 Gift Up! tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get checkout settings** `gift_up_get_checkout_settings` | Retrieve the current checkout settings | | **Get company** `gift_up_get_company` | Retrieve company details | | **Get email settings** `gift_up_get_email_settings` | Retrieve email settings for the Gift Up account | | **Get gift card** `gift_up_get_gift_card` | Retrieve a gift card by its code | | **Get gift card settings** `gift_up_get_gift_card_settings` | Retrieve gift card settings including code format, expiration rules, and display options | | **Get item** `gift_up_get_item` | Retrieve detailed information about a specific item by its ID | | **Get order** `gift_up_get_order` | Retrieve a specific order by ID | | **Get ping** `gift_up_get_ping` | Perform a health check on the Gift Up! | | **Get report transaction** `gift_up_get_report_transaction` | Retrieve a specific transaction report by its ID | | **Get shipping settings** `gift_up_get_shipping_settings` | Retrieve shipping settings for physical gift cards | | **Get stripe connection** `gift_up_get_stripe_connection` | Retrieve current Stripe integration connection settings | | **Get webhook** `gift_up_get_webhook` | Retrieve a specific webhook by its ID | | **List gift card artwork** `gift_up_list_gift_card_artwork` | List all gift card artwork available for use on gift cards | | **List gift cards** `gift_up_list_gift_cards` | List gift cards | | **List item groups** `gift_up_list_item_groups` | List item groups | | **List items** `gift_up_list_items` | Lists all items (gift cards, passes, etc.) available for sale in the Gift Up account | | **List locations** `gift_up_list_locations` | Retrieves all physical locations where gift cards are sold and/or redeemed | | **List promotions** `gift_up_list_promotions` | List all promotions that allow discounts to be applied on the Gift Up checkout | | **List report transactions** `gift_up_list_report_transactions` | List report transactions with optional filters | | **List users** `gift_up_list_users` | List all users | | **List webhooks** `gift_up_list_webhooks` | List all webhooks configured for the account | | **Post ping** `gift_up_post_ping` | Perform a health check using POST /ping endpoint | | **Add order note** `gift_up_add_order_note` | Add a note to an existing order | | **Create item** `gift_up_create_item` | Create a new item for sale in the Gift Up checkout | | **Create item group** `gift_up_create_item_group` | Create a new item group for organizing items in the Gift Up checkout | | **Create order** `gift_up_create_order` | Create a new order which generates one or more gift cards | | **Reactivate gift card** `gift_up_reactivate_gift_card` | Reactivate a voided gift card | | **Redeem gift card** `gift_up_redeem_gift_card` | Redeem a specified amount or units from a gift card | | **Redeem gift card in full** `gift_up_redeem_gift_card_in_full` | Redeem a gift card in full | | **Subscribe webhook** `gift_up_subscribe_webhook` | Subscribe to Gift Up! | ## Example prompts **Get Checkout Settings** > Pull the relevant data from Gift Up!, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Company** > Pull the relevant data from Gift Up!, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Email Settings** > Pull the relevant data from Gift Up!, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Gift Card** > Pull the relevant data from Gift Up!, 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 Gift Up! working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Gift Up! API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Gift Up! 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 Gift Up!. | 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 Gift Up! actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 44 tools for Gift Up! are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! in the browser, and the 44 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! tools Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! 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. ### Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Gift Up!: link your Gift Up! account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Gift Up! API through 44 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Gift Up! key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Gift Up! to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Gift Up! in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Gift Up! 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 - [Cloudcart](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/cloudcart) — CloudCart is an e-commerce platform that enables businesses to create and manage online stores efficiently. - [Hermes Wix integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/wix) — Manage sites, products, orders, and bookings - [Connect Baselinker](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/baselinker) — BaseLinker is a comprehensive e-commerce management platform that integrates with various marketplaces, online stores, carriers, and accounting systems to streamline order processing, inventory management, and sales automation.
