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

ClawLink connects Builder.io to OpenClaw and exposes 10 Builder.io 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 Builder.io integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/builder-io) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Builder.io integration can do 10 Builder.io 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 Builder.io tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get content entry** `builder_io_get_content_entry` | Retrieve one content entry by model name and entry ID from the connected Builder.io Space | | **Get space details** `builder_io_get_space_details` | Return the authenticated Builder.io Space ID and its read-only settings | | **List assets** `builder_io_list_assets` | List, filter, and sort assets in the connected Builder.io Space without modifying the Asset | | **List content entries** `builder_io_list_content_entries` | List and filter content entries from any model in the connected Builder.io Space, one | | **List content folders** `builder_io_list_content_folders` | List the content folders configured in the connected Builder.io Space | | **List models** `builder_io_list_models` | List the content models in the connected Builder.io Space, optionally including each model's | | **List space users** `builder_io_list_space_users` | List users and roles with access to the connected Builder.io Space | | **Create content entry** `builder_io_create_content_entry` | Create a draft, published, or archived entry in an existing Builder.io model | | **Update content entry** `builder_io_update_content_entry` | Partially update an existing Builder.io content entry | ## Example prompts **Get Content Entry** > Pull the relevant data from Builder.io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Space Details** > Pull the relevant data from Builder.io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Assets** > List the relevant items in Builder.io, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Content Entries** > List the relevant items in Builder.io, 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 Builder.io working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Builder.io API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Builder.io 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 Builder.io. | 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 Builder.io actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for Builder.io are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Builder.io 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 Builder.io in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Builder.io 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 Builder.io skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Builder.io, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Builder.io 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 Builder.io 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 Builder.io tools Builder.io 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 Builder.io 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. ### Builder.io 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 Builder.io has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Builder.io integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Builder.io: link your Builder.io account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Builder.io API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Builder.io to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Builder.io skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Builder.io. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Builder.io key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Builder.io to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Builder.io in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Builder.io 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 Builder.io working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Builder.io skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Builder.io, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
