# How to connect Cloudcart to OpenClaw (paste one key, 150 tools) > Connect Cloudcart to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Cloudcart key once and 150 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/cloudcart The usual route to Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Cloudcart in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Cloudcart actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/cloudcart ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Cloudcart. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Cloudcart** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **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 cloudcart # connect Cloudcart (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions cloudcart # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run cloudcart --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 Cloudcart in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Cloudcart API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Cloudcart to add category properties and walk me through the result in plain English. ### 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 Cloudcart is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 150 Cloudcart tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Cloudcart to OpenClaw and exposes 150 Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/cloudcart) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Cloudcart integration can do 150 Cloudcart tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 150. ### 30 of 150 Cloudcart tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Add category properties** `cloudcart_add_category_properties` | Add properties to a category relationship | | **Add to cart** `cloudcart_add_to_cart` | Add an item to the cart | | **Clear cart** `cloudcart_clear_cart` | Remove all items from the specified cart | | **Create blog category** `cloudcart_create_blog_category` | Create a new blog category in CloudCart | | **Get blog author** `cloudcart_get_blog_author` | Retrieve details of a specific blog author by ID | | **Get blog category** `cloudcart_get_blog_category` | Retrieve details of a specific blog category by ID | | **Get blog post** `cloudcart_get_blog_post` | Retrieve a single blog post by its ID | | **Get blog tag** `cloudcart_get_blog_tag` | Retrieve details of a specific blog tag by ID | | **Get cart** `cloudcart_get_cart` | Retrieve the current shopping cart | | **Get categories** `cloudcart_get_categories` | Retrieve a list of all categories | | **Get categories properties** `cloudcart_get_categories_properties` | Retrieve properties relationship for a category | | **Get category** `cloudcart_get_category` | Retrieve details of a specific category by ID | | **Get customer** `cloudcart_get_customer` | Retrieve details of a specific customer by ID | | **Get customer billing address** `cloudcart_get_customer_billing_address` | Retrieve a specific customer billing address by its ID | | **Get customer group** `cloudcart_get_customer_group` | Retrieve details of a specific customer group by ID | | **Get customer groups customers** `cloudcart_get_customer_groups_customers` | Retrieve customers from a specific customer group | | **Get customer shipping address** `cloudcart_get_customer_shipping_address` | Retrieve a single customer shipping address by ID | | **Get customer tag** `cloudcart_get_customer_tag` | Retrieve details of a specific customer tag | | **Get customers** `cloudcart_get_customers` | Retrieve a list of all customers | | **Get image** `cloudcart_get_image` | Retrieve details of a specific image by ID | | **Get orders** `cloudcart_get_orders` | Retrieve a paginated list of orders from your CloudCart store | | **Get payment methods** `cloudcart_get_payment_methods` | Retrieve all available payment methods | | **Get product with relations** `cloudcart_get_product_with_relations` | Retrieves detailed information about a specific product including its relationships (category | | **Get products** `cloudcart_get_products` | Retrieve a list of products with optional filters | | **Get products linked product** `cloudcart_get_products_linked_product` | Retrieve linked products for a specific product | | **Get products linked products** `cloudcart_get_products_linked_products` | Retrieve linked products for a specific product | | **Get property** `cloudcart_get_property` | Retrieve details of a specific property by ID | | **Get property option** `cloudcart_get_property_option` | Retrieve details of a specific property option by ID | | **Get property options relationship** `cloudcart_get_property_options_relationship` | Retrieve property options relationship for a product | | **Get shipping methods** `cloudcart_get_shipping_methods` | Retrieve all available shipping methods | ## Example prompts **Add Category Properties** > Use Cloudcart to add category properties and walk me through the result in plain English. **Add To Cart** > Use Cloudcart to add to cart and walk me through the result in plain English. **Clear Cart** > Use Cloudcart to clear cart and walk me through the result in plain English. **Create Blog Category** > Create it in Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Cloudcart API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart. | 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 Cloudcart actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 150 tools for Cloudcart are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart in the browser, and the 150 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Cloudcart, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart tools Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart 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. ### Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Cloudcart integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Cloudcart: link your Cloudcart account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Cloudcart API through 150 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Cloudcart to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Cloudcart skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Cloudcart. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Cloudcart key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Cloudcart to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Cloudcart in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Cloudcart 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 Cloudcart working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Cloudcart skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Cloudcart, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
