# How to connect Imgix to OpenClaw (paste one key, 53 tools) > Connect Imgix to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Imgix key once and 53 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/imgix The usual route to Imgix 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 Imgix setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Imgix in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Imgix 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 Imgix. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Imgix** — 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 imgix # connect Imgix (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions imgix # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run imgix --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 Imgix in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Imgix API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Imgix to auto 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 Imgix is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 53 Imgix tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Imgix to OpenClaw and exposes 53 Imgix 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 Imgix integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/imgix) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Imgix integration can do 53 Imgix 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 53. ### 30 of 53 Imgix tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Auto** `imgix_auto` | Apply automatic image optimizations using imgix's auto parameter | | **Blend** `imgix_blend` | Overlay an image, text, or color onto a base image using imgix blending parameters | | **Blend align** `imgix_blend_align` | Align the overlay relative to the base image when blending | | **Blend color** `imgix_blend_color` | Blend a solid color over an image using CSS keyword or hex | | **Blend x** `imgix_blend_x` | Position an overlay image horizontally on a base image using imgix's blend-x parameter | | **Border** `imgix_border` | Draw a border around an image | | **Bri** `imgix_bri` | Adjust image brightness | | **Ch** `imgix_ch` | Opt in to Client Hints | | **Con** `imgix_con` | Adjust image contrast | | **Cs** `imgix_cs` | Set or strip output color space/profile on an Imgix image | | **Dl** `imgix_dl` | Download an asset from an Imgix source with optional custom filename | | **Dpi** `imgix_dpi` | Embed DPI (dots-per-inch) metadata for print output on an Imgix-rendered image | | **Dpr** `imgix_dpr` | Set device pixel ratio for an Imgix image | | **Expires** `imgix_expires` | Append an expiration parameter to an Imgix URL so it returns 404 after a given time | | **Fit** `imgix_fit` | Control how an image fits target dimensions after resizing | | **Fm** `imgix_fm` | Choose output file format for the rendered asset | | **Force aspect ratio** `imgix_force_aspect_ratio` | Force a target aspect ratio on an Imgix image | | **Get source** `imgix_get_source` | Retrieve details for a single imgix Source by its ID | | **Get upload session status** `imgix_get_upload_session_status` | Retrieve the status of an Imgix Asset Manager upload session | | **H** `imgix_h` | Set output image height in pixels or as a ratio of the source height | | **High** `imgix_high` | Adjust highlight tonal mapping (−100 to 0) | | **List assets** `imgix_list_assets` | Retrieve a paginated list of assets in an imgix Source | | **List reports** `imgix_list_reports` | Retrieve a list of all available reports for your imgix account | | **List sources** `imgix_list_sources` | List all Sources for an account | | **Mark base** `imgix_mark_base` | Set the base URL prepended to the watermark image path | | **Mark fit** `imgix_mark_fit` | Set how a watermark fits its target dimensions | | **Mark h** `imgix_mark_h` | Set watermark height on an Imgix URL in pixels or as a ratio of the watermark source | | **Mark pad** `imgix_mark_pad` | Set pixel padding between a watermark and the image edge or between tiled watermarks | | **Mark w** `imgix_mark_w` | Set watermark width | | **Mask** `imgix_mask` | Apply a mask to an image | ## Example prompts **Auto** > Use Imgix to auto and walk me through the result in plain English. **Blend** > Use Imgix to blend and walk me through the result in plain English. **Blend Align** > Use Imgix to blend align and walk me through the result in plain English. **Blend Color** > Use Imgix to blend color and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Imgix working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Imgix API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Imgix 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 Imgix. | 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 Imgix actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 53 tools for Imgix are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Imgix 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 Imgix in the browser, and the 53 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Imgix key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Imgix 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 Imgix 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 Imgix tools Imgix 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 Imgix 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. ### Imgix 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 Imgix has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Imgix integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Imgix: link your Imgix account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Imgix API through 53 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Imgix to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Imgix skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Imgix. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Imgix key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Imgix to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Imgix in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Imgix 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 Imgix working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Imgix skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Imgix, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Imgix 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. ## Related - [Box tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/box) — Store, share, and manage files and folders - [Connect Supabase](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/supabase) — Query and manage Postgres databases - [Dropbox](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/dropbox) — Store, sync, and share files
