# How to connect Facebook to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect Facebook to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 39 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/facebook The usual route to Facebook 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 Facebook setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Facebook in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Facebook 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/facebook ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Facebook. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Facebook** — 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 facebook # connect Facebook (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions facebook # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run facebook --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 Facebook in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in Facebook 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 Facebook is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 39 Facebook tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Facebook to OpenClaw and exposes 39 Facebook 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 Facebook integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/facebook) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Facebook integration can do 39 Facebook 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 39. ### 30 of 39 Facebook tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Create comment** `facebook_create_comment` | Comment on a Facebook Page post | | **Create photo post** `facebook_create_photo_post` | Create a photo post on a Facebook Page | | **Create post** `facebook_create_post` | Create a post on a Facebook Page | | **Get comments** `facebook_get_comments` | List comments on a Facebook Page post | | **Get page conversations** `facebook_get_page_conversations` | List conversations on a Facebook Page | | **Get page details** `facebook_get_page_details` | Get Facebook Page details | | **Get page insights** `facebook_get_page_insights` | Get Facebook Page insights | | **Get page posts** `facebook_get_page_posts` | List posts from a Facebook Page | | **Get post** `facebook_get_post` | Get a single Facebook Page post | | **Get post insights** `facebook_get_post_insights` | Get insights for a Facebook Page post | | **Get post reactions** `facebook_get_post_reactions` | Get reactions on a Facebook Page post | | **List managed pages** `facebook_list_managed_pages` | List Facebook Pages you manage | | **Send message** `facebook_send_message` | Send a message from a Facebook Page | | **Update post** `facebook_update_post` | Update a Facebook Page post | | **Get comment** `facebook_get_comment` | Retrieves details of a specific Facebook comment | | **Get conversation messages** `facebook_get_conversation_messages` | Retrieves messages from a specific conversation | | **Get current user** `facebook_get_current_user` | Validates the access token and retrieves the authenticated user's own profile via /me | | **Get message details** `facebook_get_message_details` | Retrieves details of a specific message sent or received by the Page | | **Get page photos** `facebook_get_page_photos` | Retrieves photos from a Facebook Page | | **Get page roles** `facebook_get_page_roles` | Retrieves a list of people and their tasks/roles on a Facebook Page | | **Get page tagged posts** `facebook_get_page_tagged_posts` | Retrieves posts where a Facebook Page is tagged or mentioned | | **Get page videos** `facebook_get_page_videos` | Retrieves videos from a Facebook Page | | **Get scheduled posts** `facebook_get_scheduled_posts` | Retrieves scheduled and unpublished posts for a Facebook Page | | **Assign page task** `facebook_assign_page_task` | Assigns tasks/roles to a business-scoped user or system user for a specific Facebook Page | | **Create photo album** `facebook_create_photo_album` | Creates a new photo album on a Facebook Page | | **Create video post** `facebook_create_video_post` | Creates a video post on a Facebook Page | | **Like post or comment** `facebook_like_post_or_comment` | Adds a LIKE reaction to a Facebook post or comment | | **Mark message seen** `facebook_mark_message_seen` | Marks a user's message as seen by the Page, visibly updating the read status in the user's | | **Publish scheduled post** `facebook_publish_scheduled_post` | Publishes a previously scheduled or unpublished Facebook post immediately | | **Reschedule post** `facebook_reschedule_post` | Changes the scheduled publish time of an unpublished Facebook post | ## Example prompts **Create Comment** > Create it in Facebook for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Photo Post** > Create it in Facebook for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Post** > Create it in Facebook for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Get Comments** > Pull the relevant data from Facebook, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Facebook working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Facebook app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Facebook through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Facebook. | 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 Facebook actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 39 tools for Facebook are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Facebook 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 Facebook in the browser, and the 39 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure Facebook 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 Facebook 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 Facebook tools Facebook 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 Facebook 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. ### Facebook 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. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting Facebook and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a OpenClaw Facebook integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Facebook: link your Facebook account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Facebook API through 39 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Facebook to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Facebook skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Facebook. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect Facebook to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Facebook in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Facebook up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Facebook working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Facebook skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Facebook, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
