# How to connect Airwallex to OpenClaw (paste one key, 7 tools) > Connect Airwallex to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Airwallex key once and 7 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/airwallex The usual route to Airwallex 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 Airwallex setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Airwallex in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Airwallex 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 Airwallex. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Airwallex** — 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 airwallex # connect Airwallex (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions airwallex # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run airwallex --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 Airwallex in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Airwallex API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Airwallex, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### 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 Airwallex is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 7 Airwallex tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Airwallex to OpenClaw and exposes 7 Airwallex 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 Airwallex integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/airwallex) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Airwallex integration can do 7 Airwallex tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 7 Airwallex tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get current account** `airwallex_get_current_account` | Retrieve identity, status, and profile details for the connected Airwallex account | | **Get current balances** `airwallex_get_current_balances` | Return available, pending, reserved, prepayment, and total balances by currency for an | | **Get supported conversion currencies** `airwallex_get_supported_conversion_currencies` | Return the connected client's currencies supported for buying and selling in conversions | | **List beneficiaries** `airwallex_list_beneficiaries` | List beneficiaries, optionally filtered by identity, bank account, entity type, or creation date | | **List conversions** `airwallex_list_conversions` | List recent currency conversions, optionally filtered by currencies, request ID, status, or | | **List global accounts** `airwallex_list_global_accounts` | List global accounts, optionally filtered by country, currency, nickname, status, or creation | | **List transfers** `airwallex_list_transfers` | List one page of transfers created by the connected Airwallex account, optionally filtered by | ## Example prompts **Get Current Account** > Pull the relevant data from Airwallex, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Current Balances** > Pull the relevant data from Airwallex, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Supported Conversion Currencies** > Pull the relevant data from Airwallex, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Beneficiaries** > List the relevant items in Airwallex, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. ## 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 Airwallex working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Airwallex API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Airwallex 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 Airwallex. | 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 Airwallex actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 7 tools for Airwallex are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Airwallex 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 Airwallex in the browser, and the 7 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Airwallex 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. ### OpenClaw installed the Airwallex skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Airwallex, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Airwallex 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 Airwallex 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 Airwallex tools Airwallex 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 Airwallex 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. ### Airwallex 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 Airwallex has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Airwallex integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Airwallex: link your Airwallex account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Airwallex API through 7 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Airwallex to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Airwallex skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Airwallex. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Airwallex key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Airwallex to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Airwallex in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Airwallex 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 Airwallex working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Airwallex skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Airwallex, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Airwallex 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. ## Related - [Connect Stripe](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/stripe) — Manage payments, customers, and invoices - [Zoho Books tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/zoho-books) — Organize finances, invoices, bills, and accounting - [Connect Ramp](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/ramp) — Read cards, transactions, bills, and reimbursements, and file receipts
