# How to connect Airtop to OpenClaw (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect Airtop to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Airtop key once and 10 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/airtop The usual route to Airtop access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Airtop setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Airtop in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Airtop actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Airtop. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Airtop** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw 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 airtop # connect Airtop (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions airtop # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run airtop --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Airtop in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Airtop API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > List the relevant items in Airtop, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw 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 Airtop is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 Airtop tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Airtop to OpenClaw and exposes 10 Airtop 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 Hermes instead? The [Hermes Airtop integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/airtop) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Airtop integration can do 10 Airtop tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 10 Airtop tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **List sessions** `airtop_list_sessions` | List Airtop browser sessions, optionally filtering by IDs or status | | **List windows** `airtop_list_windows` | List all browser windows in a running Airtop session, including their IDs, current URLs, and | | **Query page** `airtop_query_page` | Ask Airtop AI a question about a page or extract structured page content | | **Create session** `airtop_create_session` | Create an Airtop browser session and wait until it is running | | **Create window** `airtop_create_window` | Create a browser window in a running Airtop session and load an initial URL | | **Navigate window** `airtop_navigate_window` | Navigate an existing Airtop browser window to a new URL and optionally wait for page loading | | **Click element** `airtop_click_element` | Use Airtop AI to locate an element from a natural-language description and click it | | **Close window** `airtop_close_window` | Close one browser window without terminating its Airtop session | | **Terminate session** `airtop_terminate_session` | Terminate an Airtop session and all of its windows | | **Type text** `airtop_type_text` | Use Airtop AI to locate an input and type text into it | ## Example prompts **List Sessions** > List the relevant items in Airtop, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Windows** > List the relevant items in Airtop, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **Query Page** > Use Airtop to query page and walk me through the result in plain English. **Create Session** > Create it in Airtop for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ## 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 OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Airtop working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Airtop API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Airtop 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 Airtop. | 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 Airtop actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for Airtop are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Airtop 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 OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Airtop in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Airtop key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Airtop is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Airtop 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 Airtop tools Airtop 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 Airtop 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. ### Airtop 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 Airtop has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Airtop integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Airtop: link your Airtop account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Airtop API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Airtop to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Airtop skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Airtop. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Airtop key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Airtop to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Airtop in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Airtop up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Airtop working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Airtop skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Airtop, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Airtop is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
