Setup

Three steps. About two minutes.

1
Install ClawLink
Add the plugin to your agent once.
2
Connect OpenAI
One-click API key in the dashboard.
3
Use it from chat
Ask your agent in plain English.

OpenAI uses an API key. You paste it once during setup and ClawLink handles the rest. No secure storage to build, no per-request auth headers to manage.

bash

$npx -y @useclawlink/cli login
$npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect openai

Run these in your terminal. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink; the second opens a browser to authorize OpenAI. No API keys to create or paste. Works with any agent that runs shell commands: OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more.

Use cases

What you can do with OpenAI from chat

Mix model output with real tools

Call OpenAI inside the agent when model output and real actions need to happen together.

Skip the glue code

Reach OpenAI from chat to test a workflow before you write custom automation around it.

Keep it practical

The agent calls OpenAI, reads the result, and iterates. No separate integration project first.

ClawLink vs DIY

Building the OpenAI integration yourself, or hosting it?

DIY

ClawLink

Connection

Build it yourself. You generate and rotate OpenAI API keys, store them safely, keep per-environment secrets straight, and make sure every tool call uses the right key.

Hosted API key. Connect once in the browser. ClawLink owns the lifecycle.

Maintenance

Token refresh, permission debugging, env config, every edge case. All yours.

ClawLink handles the plumbing. You focus on the workflow.

Time to first call

Days to weeks. Auth, storage, tool wiring, testing. Then the agent can act.

About two minutes from sign-up to the agent calling OpenAI.

FAQ

Quick questions

How do I connect OpenAI to my AI agent?

Install ClawLink, open the dashboard, click Connect next to OpenAI, and finish the API key flow. Your agent can call OpenAI from the next message. Two minutes, total.

Is there a OpenAI MCP server I can use?

Yes. ClawLink exposes OpenAI as 12 tools your agent calls through a hosted MCP-compatible runtime. You don't run a local server or edit a config file. The tools are there the moment you connect.

Do I need OpenAI API credentials?

Yes. You'll paste your OpenAI API key once during setup. ClawLink stores it and uses it for every tool call after.

How much does it cost?

Your first integration is free, plus a 14-day trial of the full catalog. Paid plans unlock the rest of the library.

Can I set this up from the terminal instead of the dashboard?

Yes. Run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect openai. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink. The second opens a browser to authorize OpenAI. No API keys to create. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that runs shell commands.
