# How to connect DataforSEO to OpenClaw (paste one key, 312 tools) > Connect DataforSEO to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your DataforSEO key once and 312 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/dataforseo The usual route to DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect DataforSEO in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real DataforSEO 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/dataforseo ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to DataforSEO. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect DataforSEO** — 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 dataforseo # connect DataforSEO (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions dataforseo # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run dataforseo --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 DataforSEO in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — enter your DataforSEO account details once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in DataforSEO for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ### 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 DataforSEO is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 312 DataforSEO tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: [connect apps to any AI agent](https://claw-link.dev/learn/connect-apps-to-any-ai-agent). ## DataforSEO MCP for OpenClaw Looking for a DataforSEO MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects DataforSEO to OpenClaw and exposes 312 DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/dataforseo) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw DataforSEO integration can do 312 DataforSEO 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 312. ### 30 of 312 DataforSEO tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Create kw google kw for kw task**

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 DataforSEO working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Setup flow** | Collect and store the right DataforSEO credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link DataforSEO without custom integration screens. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for DataforSEO. | 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 DataforSEO actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 312 tools for DataforSEO are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO in the browser, and the 312 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the DataforSEO key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO tools DataforSEO 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 DataforSEO 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. ### DataforSEO 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. ### The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for DataforSEO. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles. ### Is there a OpenClaw DataforSEO integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to DataforSEO: link your DataforSEO account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the DataforSEO API through 312 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add DataforSEO to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink DataforSEO skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize DataforSEO. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the DataforSEO key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect DataforSEO to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to DataforSEO in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring DataforSEO up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual credential 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 DataforSEO working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the DataforSEO skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about DataforSEO, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
