# How to connect Inworld AI to OpenClaw (paste one key, 6 tools)

> Connect Inworld AI to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Inworld AI key once and 6 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/inworld-ai

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

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

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Pull the relevant data from Inworld AI, 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 Inworld AI is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Inworld AI tools over MCP.

## Inworld AI MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Inworld AI MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Inworld AI to OpenClaw and exposes 6 Inworld AI 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 Inworld AI integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/inworld-ai) works the same way.

## What the OpenClaw Inworld AI integration can do

6 Inworld AI tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected.

### All 6 Inworld AI tools for OpenClaw

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Get voice preview** `inworld_ai_get_voice_preview` | Generate the provider-selected, unmetered MP3 preview for a voice and return it as a |
| **List models** `inworld_ai_list_models` | List Inworld-supported models and the pricing, modality, context, and output limits needed to |
| **List voices** `inworld_ai_list_voices` | Return one page of voices available for preview or speech synthesis, with optional filtering |
| **Create embeddings** `inworld_ai_create_embeddings` | Generate one complete embedding vector per input text with an Inworld-hosted embedding model |
| **Synthesize speech** `inworld_ai_synthesize_speech` | Synthesize short text with an Inworld voice and return the complete audio as a downloadable file |
| **Transcribe audio** `inworld_ai_transcribe_audio` | Synchronously transcribe a short audio file and return the final transcript, timestamps, and |

## Example prompts

**Get Voice Preview**

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

**List Models**

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

**List Voices**

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

**Create Embeddings**

> Create it in Inworld AI for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish.

## 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 Inworld AI working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Inworld AI API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Inworld AI 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 Inworld AI. | 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 Inworld AI actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Inworld AI are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Inworld AI 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 Inworld AI in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Inworld AI key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

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

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

### Is there a OpenClaw Inworld AI integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Inworld AI: link your Inworld AI account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Inworld AI API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

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

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

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Inworld AI 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 Inworld AI working from chat.

### OpenClaw installed the Inworld AI skill but can't call the tools
