# How to connect Customgpt to OpenClaw (paste one key, 40 tools) > Connect Customgpt to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Customgpt key once and 40 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/customgpt The usual route to Customgpt 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 Customgpt setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Customgpt in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Customgpt 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 Customgpt. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Customgpt** — 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 customgpt # connect Customgpt (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions customgpt # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run customgpt --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 Customgpt in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Customgpt API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Customgpt to export leads 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 Customgpt is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 40 Customgpt tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Customgpt to OpenClaw and exposes 40 Customgpt 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 Customgpt integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/customgpt) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Customgpt integration can do 40 Customgpt 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 40. ### 30 of 40 Customgpt tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Export leads** `customgpt_export_leads` | Export leads from a CustomGPT project | | **Get message** `customgpt_get_message` | Get message details from a CustomGPT conversation | | **Get message trust score** `customgpt_get_message_trust_score` | Retrieve verification trust score for a message in a CustomGPT conversation | | **Get page metadata** `customgpt_get_page_metadata` | Get document metadata including title, source URL, word count, and custom metadata fields | | **Get plugins** `customgpt_get_plugins` | Retrieve plugin details for a specific CustomGPT agent (project) | | **Get project** `customgpt_get_project` | Get agent details | | **Get project license** `customgpt_get_project_license` | Retrieve a license for a specific project | | **Get project settings** `customgpt_get_project_settings` | Retrieve configuration settings for a specific CustomGPT agent/project | | **Get report analysis** `customgpt_get_report_analysis` | Retrieve analytics chart data for a CustomGPT project | | **Get report conversations** `customgpt_get_report_conversations` | Get conversation analytics for a CustomGPT project | | **Get report intelligence** `customgpt_get_report_intelligence` | Get customer intelligence for a CustomGPT project | | **Get report traffic** `customgpt_get_report_traffic` | Retrieve traffic analytics for a CustomGPT agent/project | | **Get stats** `customgpt_get_stats` | Get agent statistics | | **Get usage limits** `customgpt_get_usage_limits` | Get account usage limits showing current usage vs | | **Get user profile** `customgpt_get_user_profile` | Retrieve the current user's profile information | | **List conversation messages** `customgpt_list_conversation_messages` | Retrieves all messages from a CustomGPT conversation, including both user queries and AI | | **List pages** `customgpt_list_pages` | Lists all documents in a CustomGPT agent's knowledge base | | **List personas** `customgpt_list_personas` | List persona versions for a CustomGPT agent | | **List project licenses** `customgpt_list_project_licenses` | List all licenses for a CustomGPT project/agent | | **List projects** `customgpt_list_projects` | Lists all CustomGPT projects (agents) for the authenticated user | | **List sources** `customgpt_list_sources` | List all data sources connected to an agent | | **Search team members** `customgpt_search_team_members` | Search for team members by email address or user ID | | **Activate persona version** `customgpt_activate_persona_version` | Restore a previous persona version for a CustomGPT agent | | **Add source** `customgpt_add_source` | Add a data source to a CustomGPT agent's knowledge base | | **Clone project** `customgpt_clone_project` | Clone a CustomGPT agent (project) | | **Create conversation** `customgpt_create_conversation` | Create a new conversation session for a CustomGPT agent | | **Create project** `customgpt_create_project` | Create a new CustomGPT agent from a sitemap URL or file upload | | **Reindex page** `customgpt_reindex_page` | Reindex a document in CustomGPT knowledge base | | **Submit message feedback** `customgpt_submit_message_feedback` | Submit feedback (thumbs up/down) for a message in a CustomGPT conversation | | **Update page metadata** `customgpt_update_page_metadata` | Update document metadata for a specific page in a CustomGPT project | ## Example prompts **Export Leads** > Use Customgpt to export leads and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Message** > Pull the relevant data from Customgpt, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Message Trust Score** > Pull the relevant data from Customgpt, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Page Metadata** > Pull the relevant data from Customgpt, 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 Customgpt working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Customgpt API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Customgpt 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 Customgpt. | 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 Customgpt actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 40 tools for Customgpt are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Customgpt 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 Customgpt in the browser, and the 40 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Customgpt 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 Customgpt skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Customgpt, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Customgpt 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 Customgpt 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 Customgpt tools Customgpt 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 Customgpt 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. ### Customgpt 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 Customgpt has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Customgpt integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Customgpt: link your Customgpt account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Customgpt API through 40 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Customgpt to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Customgpt skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Customgpt. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Customgpt key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Customgpt to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Customgpt in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Customgpt 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 Customgpt working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Customgpt skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Customgpt, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Customgpt is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
