# How to connect OpenWeb Ninja to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 164 tools)

> Connect OpenWeb Ninja to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your OpenWeb Ninja key once and 164 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/openweb-ninja

Most guides for giving Hermes Agent OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once.
2. **Connect OpenWeb Ninja** — 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 openweb-ninja  # connect OpenWeb Ninja (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions openweb-ninja  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run openweb-ninja <action> --input '<json>'  # 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 OpenWeb Ninja in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your OpenWeb Ninja API key once.

Verify the connection by asking Hermes:

> Use OpenWeb Ninja to autocomplete local business query 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 OpenWeb Ninja is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 164 OpenWeb Ninja tools over MCP.

## 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 OpenWeb Ninja working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the OpenWeb Ninja API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja. | 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 OpenWeb Ninja actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 164 tools for OpenWeb Ninja are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja in the browser, and the 164 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja
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 OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja tools
OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja 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.

### OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to OpenWeb Ninja: link your OpenWeb Ninja account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the OpenWeb Ninja API through 164 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I connect OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the OpenWeb Ninja key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

### How long does it take to connect OpenWeb Ninja to Hermes Agent?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to OpenWeb Ninja in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message.

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring OpenWeb Ninja 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 OpenWeb Ninja working from chat.

### Hermes paired but still can't use OpenWeb Ninja
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`.
