# How to connect OneTapCheckIn to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 19 tools) > Connect OneTapCheckIn to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your OneTapCheckIn key once and 19 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/onetapcheckin Most guides for giving Hermes Agent OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect OneTapCheckIn** — 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 onetapcheckin # connect OneTapCheckIn (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions onetapcheckin # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run onetapcheckin --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 OneTapCheckIn in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your OneTapCheckIn API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use OneTapCheckIn to find lists and walk me through the result in plain English. ### 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 OneTapCheckIn is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 19 OneTapCheckIn tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects OneTapCheckIn to Hermes Agent and exposes 19 OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/onetapcheckin) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent OneTapCheckIn integration can do 19 OneTapCheckIn tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 17 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 19. ### 17 of 19 OneTapCheckIn tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Find lists** `onetapcheckin_find_lists` | Get one list by exact ID or search the connected organization's lists | | **Find participants** `onetapcheckin_find_participants` | Get one participant by exact ID or search attendance records by list, profile, status, text, or | | **Find profiles** `onetapcheckin_find_profiles` | Get one profile by ID or search profiles by identity, list, passport, or check-in code | | **Get organization** `onetapcheckin_get_organization` | Return the organization associated with the connected API key | | **Get profile custom fields** `onetapcheckin_get_profile_custom_fields` | Return the organization's configured profile custom-field definitions so an agent can use valid | | **List alerts** `onetapcheckin_list_alerts` | Return one page of organization alert and automation rules together with outbound check-in | | **List passports** `onetapcheckin_list_passports` | List one page of standard passports for exactly one profile or participant | | **Add participants** `onetapcheckin_add_participants` | Add one or more existing profiles to one or more lists without checking them in | | **Create list** `onetapcheckin_create_list` | Create an event/check-in list | | **Create profile** `onetapcheckin_create_profile` | Create one person profile without adding it to a list | | **Create profiles** `onetapcheckin_create_profiles` | Create 1 to 25 person profiles in input order using one provider request per profile | | **Update list** `onetapcheckin_update_list` | Partially update a list | | **Update participant** `onetapcheckin_update_participant` | Update metadata on one participant record without performing check-in or checkout | | **Update participant attendance** `onetapcheckin_update_participant_attendance` | Check in, check out, undo check-in, or undo checkout for one known participant | | **Update participant attendance batch** `onetapcheckin_update_participant_attendance_batch` | Apply one shared check-in, checkout, undo check-in, or undo checkout operation to 1 to 25 | | **Update profile** `onetapcheckin_update_profile` | Partially update one profile | | **Remove participant** `onetapcheckin_remove_participant` | Remove one participant record from its list | ## Example prompts **Find Lists** > Use OneTapCheckIn to find lists and walk me through the result in plain English. **Find Participants** > Use OneTapCheckIn to find participants and walk me through the result in plain English. **Find Profiles** > Use OneTapCheckIn to find profiles and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Organization** > Pull the relevant data from OneTapCheckIn, 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 OneTapCheckIn working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the OneTapCheckIn API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn. | 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 OneTapCheckIn actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 19 tools for OneTapCheckIn are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn in the browser, and the 19 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn tools OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn 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. ### OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to OneTapCheckIn: link your OneTapCheckIn account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the OneTapCheckIn API through 19 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the OneTapCheckIn key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect OneTapCheckIn to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to OneTapCheckIn in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring OneTapCheckIn 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 OneTapCheckIn working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use OneTapCheckIn 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 - [Hermes Cal.com integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/cal) — Schedule and manage bookings through Cal.com - [Hermes Bookingmood integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/bookingmood) — Bookingmood provides flexible, commission-free booking software for rental businesses of all sizes, enabling seamless integration with your website. - [Eventbrite tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/eventbrite) — Create and manage events, tickets, and attendees
