# How to connect Baremetrics to OpenClaw (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Baremetrics to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Baremetrics key once and 8 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/baremetrics The usual route to Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Baremetrics in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Baremetrics** — 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 baremetrics # connect Baremetrics (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions baremetrics # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run baremetrics --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 Baremetrics in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Baremetrics API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, 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 Baremetrics is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Baremetrics tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Baremetrics to OpenClaw and exposes 8 Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/baremetrics) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Baremetrics integration can do 8 Baremetrics tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 8 Baremetrics tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get account** `baremetrics_get_account` | Return the connected Baremetrics account identity, company, default currency, and calculation | | **Get cohorts** `baremetrics_get_cohorts` | Return Baremetrics cohort analysis for comparing customer retention and revenue behavior across | | **Get metric breakdown** `baremetrics_get_metric_breakdown` | Return daily values for one Baremetrics metric broken down by contributing customers or plans | | **Get metric summary** `baremetrics_get_metric_summary` | Return wide daily Baremetrics business metrics for an inclusive date range, including MRR | | **Get metric trend** `baremetrics_get_metric_trend` | Return the daily time series and prior-period comparison for one Baremetrics metric over an | | **Get recurring revenue resource** `baremetrics_get_recurring_revenue_resource` | Get one customer, plan, subscription, charge, or refund by its OID within a Baremetrics source | | **List recurring revenue resources** `baremetrics_list_recurring_revenue_resources` | List one page of customers, plans, subscriptions, charges, or refunds from a Baremetrics | | **List sources** `baremetrics_list_sources` | List one page of payment and Baremetrics API sources in the connected account and return source | ## Example prompts **Get Account** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Cohorts** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Metric Breakdown** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Metric Summary** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 Baremetrics working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Baremetrics API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics. | 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 Baremetrics actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Baremetrics are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Baremetrics, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics tools Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics 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. ### Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Baremetrics integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Baremetrics: link your Baremetrics account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Baremetrics API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Baremetrics to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Baremetrics skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Baremetrics. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Baremetrics key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Baremetrics to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Baremetrics in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Baremetrics skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Baremetrics, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Baremetrics 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 - [PostHog](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/posthog) — Track user behavior and feature flags - [OpenClaw DataforSEO integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/dataforseo) — SEO data APIs for keywords, SERP, and site audits - [Metabase tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/metabase) — Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets you ask questions about your data and visualize answers as charts, graphs, and dashboards.
