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

ClawLink connects ConfigCat to OpenClaw and exposes 10 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/configcat) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw ConfigCat integration can do 10 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get product context** `configcat_get_product_context` | Return a ConfigCat Product's configs, environments, segments, and tags, including the | | **Get setting value v2** `configcat_get_setting_value_v2` | Get one Config V2 flag or setting's complete evaluation formula in an Environment, including | | **List account hierarchy** `configcat_list_account_hierarchy` | List accessible ConfigCat organizations and products so an agent can resolve the IDs needed by | | **List environment values v2** `configcat_list_environment_values_v2` | Return every Config V2 feature flag and setting evaluation formula for one Config and | | **List settings** `configcat_list_settings` | List feature flags and settings in one Config, including IDs, keys, types, tags, and metadata | | **Create setting** `configcat_create_setting` | Create a feature flag or typed setting in a Config | | **Patch setting value v2** `configcat_patch_setting_value_v2` | Update selected typed fields of one Config V2 evaluation formula while preserving every field | | **Replace setting value v2** `configcat_replace_setting_value_v2` | Completely replace one Config V2 flag or setting evaluation formula in an Environment | | **Update setting metadata** `configcat_update_setting_metadata` | Partially update a flag or setting's name, hint, or complete tag assignment without resetting | ## Example prompts **Get Product Context** > Pull the relevant data from ConfigCat, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Setting Value V2** > Pull the relevant data from ConfigCat, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Account Hierarchy** > List the relevant items in ConfigCat, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Environment Values V2** > List the relevant items in ConfigCat, 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 ConfigCat working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the ConfigCat API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat. | 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 ConfigCat actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for ConfigCat are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the ConfigCat key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat tools ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat 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. ### ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw ConfigCat integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to ConfigCat: link your ConfigCat account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the ConfigCat API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add ConfigCat to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink ConfigCat skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize ConfigCat. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the ConfigCat key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect ConfigCat to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to ConfigCat in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the ConfigCat skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about ConfigCat, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure ConfigCat 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 - [GitHub](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/github) — Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows - [PagerDuty tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/pagerduty) — Manage incidents, on-call schedules, and services - [OpenClaw SafetyCulture integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/safetyculture) — SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) is a workplace operations platform that enables teams to conduct digital inspections, manage audits, track issues, schedule tasks, and maintain compliance through mobile and web applications.
