# How to connect Endorsal to OpenClaw (paste one key, 26 tools) > Connect Endorsal to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Endorsal key once and 26 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/endorsal The usual route to Endorsal 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 Endorsal setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Endorsal in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Endorsal 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 Endorsal. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Endorsal** — 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 endorsal # connect Endorsal (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions endorsal # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run endorsal --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 Endorsal in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Endorsal API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Endorsal, 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 Endorsal is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 26 Endorsal tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Endorsal to OpenClaw and exposes 26 Endorsal 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 Endorsal integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/endorsal) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Endorsal integration can do 26 Endorsal tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 24 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 26. ### 24 of 26 Endorsal tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get auto request campaign** `endorsal_get_auto_request_campaign` | Retrieve a specific AutoRequest campaign by its unique identifier | | **Get contact** `endorsal_get_contact` | Retrieve details of a specific contact by its unique identifier | | **Get tag** `endorsal_get_tag` | Retrieve details of a specific tag by its unique identifier | | **Get testimonial** `endorsal_get_testimonial` | Retrieves complete details of a specific testimonial by its ID | | **Get wall of love** `endorsal_get_wall_of_love` | Retrieves the Wall of Love for a property, returning testimonials that match its configuration | | **Get widget** `endorsal_get_widget` | Retrieve details of a specific widget by its unique identifier | | **List all tags** `endorsal_list_all_tags` | Retrieve a list of all Tag Objects across all properties in your Endorsal account | | **List autorequest campaigns** `endorsal_list_autorequest_campaigns` | Retrieve a list of all AutoRequest campaigns | | **List contact testimonials** `endorsal_list_contact_testimonials` | Retrieves all testimonials associated with a specific contact in Endorsal | | **List contacts** `endorsal_list_contacts` | Retrieves a paginated list of all contacts for a specific property in your Endorsal account | | **List properties** `endorsal_list_properties` | Retrieve all properties for the authenticated account | | **List tag testimonials** `endorsal_list_tag_testimonials` | Retrieve all testimonials for a given tag | | **List tags** `endorsal_list_tags` | Retrieves all tags associated with a specific property in Endorsal | | **List testimonials** `endorsal_list_testimonials` | Retrieves a paginated list of all testimonials in your Endorsal account | | **List widgets** `endorsal_list_widgets` | Retrieves all testimonial display widgets associated with your Endorsal account | | **Search contacts** `endorsal_search_contacts` | Search contacts using query Match Objects | | **Search testimonials** `endorsal_search_testimonials` | Search testimonials using query Match Objects | | **Create contact** `endorsal_create_contact` | Create a new contact in your Endorsal account | | **Create tag** `endorsal_create_tag` | Create a new tag in Endorsal | | **Create testimonial** `endorsal_create_testimonial` | Submit a new testimonial | | **Tag testimonial** `endorsal_tag_testimonial` | Add tag(s) to a testimonial | | **Update contact** `endorsal_update_contact` | Update a contact's information | | **Update testimonial** `endorsal_update_testimonial` | Update an existing testimonial | | **Archive contact** `endorsal_archive_contact` | Archive a contact using its unique identifier | ## Example prompts **Get Auto Request Campaign** > Pull the relevant data from Endorsal, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Contact** > Pull the relevant data from Endorsal, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Tag** > Pull the relevant data from Endorsal, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Testimonial** > Pull the relevant data from Endorsal, 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 Endorsal working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Endorsal API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Endorsal 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 Endorsal. | 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 Endorsal actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 26 tools for Endorsal are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Endorsal 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 Endorsal in the browser, and the 26 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Endorsal key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Endorsal 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 Endorsal 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 Endorsal tools Endorsal 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 Endorsal 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. ### Endorsal 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 Endorsal has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Endorsal integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Endorsal: link your Endorsal account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Endorsal API through 26 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Endorsal to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Endorsal skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Endorsal. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Endorsal key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Endorsal to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Endorsal in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Endorsal 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 Endorsal working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Endorsal skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Endorsal, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Endorsal is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
