# How to connect Coinranking to OpenClaw (paste one key, 14 tools) > Connect Coinranking to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Coinranking key once and 14 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/coinranking The usual route to Coinranking 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 Coinranking setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Coinranking in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Coinranking 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 Coinranking. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Coinranking** — 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 coinranking # connect Coinranking (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions coinranking # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run coinranking --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 Coinranking in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Coinranking API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Coinranking, 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 Coinranking is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 14 Coinranking tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Coinranking to OpenClaw and exposes 14 Coinranking 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 Coinranking integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/coinranking) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Coinranking integration can do 14 Coinranking tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 14 Coinranking tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get coin details** `coinranking_get_coin_details` | Retrieve comprehensive details for a specific cryptocurrency including current price, market | | **Get coin fiat prices** `coinranking_get_coin_fiat_prices` | Retrieve the current price of a cryptocurrency in all available fiat currencies including USD | | **Get coin history** `coinranking_get_coin_history` | Retrieve historical price data for a specific coin over a time period | | **Get coin price** `coinranking_get_coin_price` | Retrieve the current price or historical price at a specific timestamp for a cryptocurrency coin | | **Get coin price history** `coinranking_get_coin_price_history` | Retrieve historical price data points for a specific coin over selectable time periods | | **Get coin trading volume history** `coinranking_get_coin_trading_volume_history` | Retrieve historical trading volume data for a specific coin to build volume charts and analyze | | **Get coins** `coinranking_get_coins` | Retrieve a comprehensive list of cryptocurrency coins with detailed market data including | | **Get reference currencies** `coinranking_get_reference_currencies` | Retrieve a comprehensive list of reference currencies including cryptocurrencies, fiat | | **Get stats** `coinranking_get_stats` | Retrieve global cryptocurrency market statistics | | **Get stats coins** `coinranking_get_stats_coins` | Retrieve aggregate statistics for a selection of coins | | **Get tag details** `coinranking_get_tag_details` | Get detailed information about a specific cryptocurrency tag including market metrics, volume | | **Get tags** `coinranking_get_tags` | Get all available cryptocurrency tags/categories from Coinranking | | **Get trending coins** `coinranking_get_trending_coins` | Retrieve a list of trending cryptocurrency coins ranked by user engagement and popularity on | | **Search suggestions** `coinranking_search_suggestions` | Search and get suggestions for coins, markets, exchanges, fiat currencies, and categories by | ## Example prompts **Get Coin Details** > Pull the relevant data from Coinranking, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Coin Fiat Prices** > Pull the relevant data from Coinranking, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Coin History** > Pull the relevant data from Coinranking, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Coin Price** > Pull the relevant data from Coinranking, 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 Coinranking working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Coinranking API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Coinranking 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 Coinranking. | 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 Coinranking actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 14 tools for Coinranking are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Coinranking 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 Coinranking in the browser, and the 14 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Coinranking key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Coinranking 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 Coinranking 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 Coinranking tools Coinranking 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 Coinranking 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. ### Coinranking 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 Coinranking has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Coinranking integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Coinranking: link your Coinranking account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Coinranking API through 14 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Coinranking to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Coinranking skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Coinranking. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Coinranking key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Coinranking to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Coinranking in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Coinranking 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 Coinranking working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Coinranking skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Coinranking, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Coinranking 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 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](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.
