# How to connect Fomo to OpenClaw (paste one key, 9 tools)

> Connect Fomo to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Fomo key once and 9 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/fomo

The usual route to Fomo 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 Fomo setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Fomo in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Fomo 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 Fomo.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Fomo** — 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 fomo  # connect Fomo (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions fomo  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run fomo <action> --input '<json>'  # 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 Fomo in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Fomo API key once.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Pull the relevant data from Fomo, 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 Fomo is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 9 Fomo 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).

## Fomo MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Fomo MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Fomo to OpenClaw and exposes 9 Fomo 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 Fomo integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/fomo) works the same way.

## What the OpenClaw Fomo integration can do

9 Fomo tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 8 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 9.

### 8 of 9 Fomo tools for OpenClaw

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Get fomo event** `fomo_get_fomo_event` | Retrieve a single event by ID from Fomo |
| **Get statistics** `fomo_get_statistics` | Fetch notification impressions, clicks, and conversion data for your Fomo application |
| **List events** `fomo_list_events` | Retrieve all notification events from your Fomo application |
| **Search event** `fomo_search_event` | Search for a specific Fomo event by external_id or email_address |
| **Create fomo event** `fomo_create_fomo_event` | Create a new social proof event in Fomo |
| **Create fomo template** `fomo_create_fomo_template` | Create a Template (Event Type) in Fomo |
| **Update application** `fomo_update_application` | Update Fomo application settings including display configuration, notification behavior, theme |
| **Update event** `fomo_update_event` | Update an existing Fomo event |

## Example prompts

**Get Fomo Event**

> Pull the relevant data from Fomo, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention.

**Get Statistics**

> Pull the relevant data from Fomo, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention.

**List Events**

> List the relevant items in Fomo, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next.

**Search Event**

> Search Fomo for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action.

## 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 Fomo working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Fomo API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Fomo 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 Fomo. | 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 Fomo actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 9 tools for Fomo are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Fomo 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 Fomo in the browser, and the 9 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Fomo key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

### OpenClaw installed the Fomo skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Fomo, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Fomo 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 Fomo 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 Fomo tools
Fomo 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 Fomo 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.

### Fomo 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 Fomo has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes.

### Is there a OpenClaw Fomo integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Fomo: link your Fomo account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Fomo API through 9 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Fomo to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Fomo skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Fomo. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Fomo key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

### How long does it take to connect Fomo to OpenClaw?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Fomo in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message.

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Fomo 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 Fomo working from chat.
