# How to connect Amazing Marvin to OpenClaw (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect Amazing Marvin to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Amazing Marvin 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/amazing-marvin The usual route to Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Amazing Marvin in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Amazing Marvin** — 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 amazing-marvin # connect Amazing Marvin (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions amazing-marvin # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run amazing-marvin --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 Amazing Marvin in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Amazing Marvin API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Amazing Marvin, 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 Amazing Marvin is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 Amazing Marvin tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Amazing Marvin to OpenClaw and exposes 10 Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/amazing-marvin) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Amazing Marvin integration can do 10 Amazing Marvin tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 9 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 10. ### 9 of 10 Amazing Marvin tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get current time tracking** `amazing_marvin_get_current_time_tracking` | Return the task currently being time-tracked, or tracked=false when no timer is active | | **List categories or labels** `amazing_marvin_list_categories_or_labels` | List categories or labels so their IDs can be used when creating and organizing Amazing Marvin | | **List planning items** `amazing_marvin_list_planning_items` | List open child items, items scheduled for a date, or items due by a date; choose one view per | | **List reminders** `amazing_marvin_list_reminders` | List all currently scheduled Amazing Marvin reminders | | **Create project** `amazing_marvin_create_project` | Create a project with optional hierarchy, planning, priority, estimate, labels, and notes | | **Create task** `amazing_marvin_create_task` | Create a task with optional scheduling, organization, estimate, and note fields; title | | **Set reminders** `amazing_marvin_set_reminders` | Create or replace one or more mobile push reminders using caller-supplied reminder IDs | | **Set time tracking** `amazing_marvin_set_time_tracking` | Start or stop time tracking for one task | | **Complete task** `amazing_marvin_complete_task` | Mark one task complete using Amazing Marvin's experimental completion endpoint | ## Example prompts **Get Current Time Tracking** > Pull the relevant data from Amazing Marvin, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Categories Or Labels** > List the relevant items in Amazing Marvin, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Planning Items** > List the relevant items in Amazing Marvin, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Reminders** > List the relevant items in Amazing Marvin, 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 Amazing Marvin working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Amazing Marvin API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin. | 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 Amazing Marvin actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for Amazing Marvin are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Amazing Marvin key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin tools Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin 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. ### Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Amazing Marvin integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Amazing Marvin: link your Amazing Marvin account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Amazing Marvin API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Amazing Marvin to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Amazing Marvin skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Amazing Marvin. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Amazing Marvin key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Amazing Marvin to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Amazing Marvin in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Amazing Marvin 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 Amazing Marvin working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Amazing Marvin skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Amazing Marvin, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Amazing Marvin 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 - [Trello](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/trello) — Manage boards, lists, and cards - [Connect Moco](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/moco) — MOCO is a business management software offering project management, time tracking, and invoicing solutions. - [Connect ClickUp](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/clickup) — Manage tasks, docs, goals, and sprints
