# How to connect Finage to OpenClaw (paste one key, 39 tools) > Connect Finage to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Finage key once and 39 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/finage The usual route to Finage 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 Finage setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Finage in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Finage 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 Finage. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Finage** — 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 finage # connect Finage (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions finage # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run finage --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 Finage in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Finage API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Finage to convert crypto 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 Finage is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 39 Finage tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Finage to OpenClaw and exposes 39 Finage 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 Finage integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/finage) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Finage integration can do 39 Finage 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 Finage tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Convert crypto** `finage_convert_crypto` | Convert cryptocurrencies using real-time exchange rates from the Finage API | | **Convert currency** `finage_convert_currency` | Convert currencies using real-time forex exchange rates from Finage API | | **Get bonds rate** `finage_get_bonds_rate` | Retrieve the current interest rate for a US Treasury bond by maturity | | **Get country detail** `finage_get_country_detail` | Retrieve detailed information about a country including currency, phone code, and flag | | **Get crypto aggregates** `finage_get_crypto_aggregates` | Retrieve aggregated OHLCV time-series data for cryptocurrency pairs over specified time periods | | **Get crypto detail** `finage_get_crypto_detail` | Get detailed fundamental information about a cryptocurrency including description, developers | | **Get crypto detailed** `finage_get_crypto_detailed` | Fetches detailed cryptocurrency information including current price, price changes, volume | | **Get crypto last quote** `finage_get_crypto_last_quote` | Get the last quote with bid/ask prices in real-time for a cryptocurrency pair | | **Get crypto last trade** `finage_get_crypto_last_trade` | Get the latest trade information and prices in real-time for a cryptocurrency pair | | **Get crypto news** `finage_get_crypto_news` | Retrieve real-time and historical news for cryptocurrency markets with fast In-Memory Cache | | **Get crypto previous close** `finage_get_crypto_previous_close` | Get the previous day's closing data for a cryptocurrency pair | | **Get crypto snapshot** `finage_get_crypto_snapshot` | Get a comprehensive snapshot of cryptocurrency market data with latest quotes and trades in one | | **Get currency detail** `finage_get_currency_detail` | Get detailed information about a forex currency pair including currency codes and country flags | | **Get forex last quote** `finage_get_forex_last_quote` | Get the latest real-time bid/ask quote for a forex pair or metal (e.g., GBPUSD, XAUUSD) | | **Get forex last trade** `finage_get_forex_last_trade` | Get the last trade information for a forex currency pair | | **Get forex market aggregates** `finage_get_forex_market_aggregates` | Retrieve aggregated OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data for forex and metal pairs over | | **Get forex news** `finage_get_forex_news` | Retrieve real-time and historical news for forex markets from Finage's API | | **Get forex previous close** `finage_get_forex_previous_close` | Get the previous day's closing data for a forex currency pair | | **Get forex snapshot** `finage_get_forex_snapshot` | Get a comprehensive snapshot of forex market data with latest quotes and trades in one request | | **Get most active stocks** `finage_get_most_active_stocks` | Get a list of the most actively traded US stocks | | **Get sec rss feed** `finage_get_sec_rss_feed` | Retrieve the SEC RSS feed for recent EDGAR filings | | **Get sector performance** `finage_get_sector_performance` | Retrieve performance metrics across US market sectors | | **Get stock company details** `finage_get_stock_company_details` | Retrieve detailed company information and stock fundamentals for a given ticker symbol | | **Get stock last quote** `finage_get_stock_last_quote` | Fetches the latest single-tick quote for a stock symbol, returning a JSON object with fields: | | **Get stock last trade** `finage_get_stock_last_trade` | Get the most recent trade information for a specified US stock symbol | | **Get stock market aggregates** `finage_get_stock_market_aggregates` | Retrieves aggregated OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data for US stocks only | | **Get stock market news** `finage_get_stock_market_news` | Retrieves the latest market news from Finage's API | | **Get stock market status** `finage_get_stock_market_status` | Check if stock, forex, and crypto markets are open, closed, or in extended hours | | **Get stock previous close** `finage_get_stock_previous_close` | Retrieves the previous day's closing data for a specific stock symbol | | **Get stock snapshot** `finage_get_stock_snapshot` | Get comprehensive snapshot of all US stock market data including latest quotes and trades with | ##

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 Finage working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Finage API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Finage 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 Finage. | 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 Finage actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 39 tools for Finage are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Finage 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 Finage in the browser, and the 39 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Finage key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Finage 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 Finage 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 Finage tools Finage 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 Finage 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. ### Finage 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 Finage has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Finage integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Finage: link your Finage account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Finage API through 39 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Finage to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Finage skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Finage. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Finage key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Finage to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Finage in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Finage 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 Finage working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Finage skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Finage, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Finage is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
