# How to connect Identitycheck to OpenClaw (paste one key, 11 tools) > Connect Identitycheck to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Identitycheck key once and 11 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/identitycheck The usual route to Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Identitycheck in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Identitycheck** — 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 identitycheck # connect Identitycheck (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions identitycheck # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run identitycheck --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 Identitycheck in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Identitycheck API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Identitycheck to check api health 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 Identitycheck is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 11 Identitycheck tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Identitycheck to OpenClaw and exposes 11 Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/identitycheck) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Identitycheck integration can do 11 Identitycheck tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 9 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 11. ### 9 of 11 Identitycheck tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Check API health** `identitycheck_check_api_health` | Performs an API health check to verify endpoint availability and responsiveness | | **Fetch all configurations** `identitycheck_fetch_all_configurations` | Fetch all existing configurations | | **Fetch all notification endpoints** `identitycheck_fetch_all_notification_endpoints` | Fetches all configured notification endpoints (webhooks) for the IdentityCheck SDK | | **Fetch configuration** `identitycheck_fetch_configuration` | Fetch a specific identity verification configuration by its code | | **Fetch notification endpoint** `identitycheck_fetch_notification_endpoint` | Fetch a notification endpoint by its code | | **Fetch onboardings** `identitycheck_fetch_onboardings` | Retrieves identity verification onboarding sessions with comprehensive filtering and pagination | | **Get document content** `identitycheck_get_document_content` | Retrieve base64-encoded document content | | **Retrieve onboarding status** `identitycheck_retrieve_onboarding_status` | Retrieve the current status and results of an identity verification onboarding session | | **Update configuration** `identitycheck_update_configuration` | Update an existing configuration | ## Example prompts **Check Api Health** > Use Identitycheck to check api health and walk me through the result in plain English. **Fetch All Configurations** > Pull the relevant data from Identitycheck, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Fetch All Notification Endpoints** > Pull the relevant data from Identitycheck, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Fetch Configuration** > Pull the relevant data from Identitycheck, 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 Identitycheck working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Identitycheck API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck. | 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 Identitycheck actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 11 tools for Identitycheck are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck in the browser, and the 11 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Identitycheck key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck tools Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck 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. ### Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Identitycheck integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Identitycheck: link your Identitycheck account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Identitycheck API through 11 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Identitycheck to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Identitycheck skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Identitycheck. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Identitycheck key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Identitycheck to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Identitycheck in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Identitycheck 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 Identitycheck working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Identitycheck skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Identitycheck, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
