# How to connect ITM Platform to OpenClaw (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect ITM Platform to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your ITM Platform key once and 10 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/itm-platform The usual route to ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect ITM Platform in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect ITM Platform** — 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 itm-platform # connect ITM Platform (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions itm-platform # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run itm-platform --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 ITM Platform in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your ITM Platform API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use ITM Platform to aggregate datamart components 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 ITM Platform is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 ITM Platform tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects ITM Platform to OpenClaw and exposes 10 ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/itm-platform) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw ITM Platform integration can do 10 ITM Platform tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 10 ITM Platform tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Aggregate datamart components** `itm_platform_aggregate_datamart_components` | Run a bounded read-only DataMart aggregation over project and service records for portfolio | | **Get project** `itm_platform_get_project` | Return the full current details of one project by its ITM Platform project ID | | **List reference data** `itm_platform_list_reference_data` | List account-defined project or task statuses, priorities, or types needed to form valid | | **Search datamart components** `itm_platform_search_datamart_components` | Search the read-only DataMart for project or service analytics records and return one | | **Search projects** `itm_platform_search_projects` | Search projects by account-specific filters and return one page of project summaries with a | | **Search tasks** `itm_platform_search_tasks` | Search tasks across accessible projects and return one page of task summaries with a | | **Create project** `itm_platform_create_project` | Create an ITM Platform project with its schedule and optional account-specific classification | | **Create task** `itm_platform_create_task` | Create a task in an ITM Platform project using account-defined type, priority, and status names | | **Update project** `itm_platform_update_project` | Update selected fields of an existing ITM Platform project and return the provider result | | **Update task** `itm_platform_update_task` | Update selected descriptive, scheduling, hierarchy, or custom fields on an existing ITM | ## Example prompts **Aggregate Datamart Components** > Use ITM Platform to aggregate datamart components and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Project** > Pull the relevant data from ITM Platform, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Reference Data** > List the relevant items in ITM Platform, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **Search Datamart Components** > Search ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the ITM Platform API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform. | 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 ITM Platform actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for ITM Platform are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the ITM Platform key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the ITM Platform skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about ITM Platform, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform tools ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform 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. ### ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw ITM Platform integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to ITM Platform: link your ITM Platform account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the ITM Platform API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add ITM Platform to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink ITM Platform skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize ITM Platform. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the ITM Platform key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect ITM Platform to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to ITM Platform in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the ITM Platform skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about ITM Platform, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure ITM Platform is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
