# How to connect Maxio to OpenClaw (paste one key, 177 tools) > Connect Maxio to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Maxio key once and 177 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/maxio The usual route to Maxio 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 Maxio setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Maxio in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Maxio actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/maxio ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Maxio. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Maxio** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **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 maxio # connect Maxio (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions maxio # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run maxio --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 Maxio in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Maxio API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Maxio to allocate component 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 Maxio is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 177 Maxio tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Maxio to OpenClaw and exposes 177 Maxio 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 Maxio integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/maxio) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Maxio integration can do 177 Maxio 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 177. ### 30 of 177 Maxio tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Allocate component** `maxio_allocate_component` | Creates an allocation for a component on a subscription | | **Apply coupons to subscription** `maxio_apply_coupons_to_subscription` | Applies one or more coupons to a subscription | | **Archive component** `maxio_archive_component` | Archives a component to prevent new allocations | | **Archive component price point** `maxio_archive_component_price_point` | Archives a component price point, making it inactive | | **Export invoices** `maxio_export_invoices` | Initiates an invoices export job | | **Export proforma invoices** `maxio_export_proforma_invoices` | Initiates an asynchronous export of proforma invoices data | | **Export subscriptions** `maxio_export_subscriptions` | Initiates an asynchronous export of subscription data from Maxio/Chargify | | **Get mrr** `maxio_get_mrr` | Returns monthly recurring revenue data for the site | | **List all component price points** `maxio_list_all_component_price_points` | Lists all component price points across the site | | **List all product price points** `maxio_list_all_product_price_points` | Lists all product price points across the site in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List allocations** `maxio_list_allocations` | Lists all allocations for a component on a subscription | | **List chargify js public keys** `maxio_list_chargify_js_public_keys` | Lists all public keys for Chargify.js integration in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List component price points** `maxio_list_component_price_points` | Lists all price points for a component in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List components** `maxio_list_components` | Returns a list of all components across product families in Chargify | | **List components for product family** `maxio_list_components_for_product_family` | Lists all components within a product family in Maxio/Chargify | | **List consolidated invoice segments** `maxio_list_consolidated_invoice_segments` | Lists segments of a consolidated invoice | | **List coupon subcodes** `maxio_list_coupon_subcodes` | Lists all subcodes for an existing coupon in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List coupons for product family** `maxio_list_coupons_for_product_family` | Lists all coupons within a product family | | **List credit notes** `maxio_list_credit_notes` | Returns a list of credit notes from Maxio/Chargify | | **List customer subscriptions** `maxio_list_customer_subscriptions` | Lists all subscriptions for a specific customer in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List customers** `maxio_list_customers` | Returns a list of customers with optional filtering and pagination | | **List endpoints** `maxio_list_endpoints` | Returns a list of webhook endpoints configured in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List events** `maxio_list_events` | Returns a list of events for the site in Maxio Advanced Billing | | **List exported invoices** `maxio_list_exported_invoices` | Retrieves a list of exported invoices for a specific invoice export batch | | **List exported proforma invoices** `maxio_list_exported_proforma_invoices` | Lists exported proforma invoice rows from a previously initiated export batch | | **List exported subscriptions** `maxio_list_exported_subscriptions` | Lists exported subscriptions from a subscription export batch in Maxio/Chargify | | **List invoice events** `maxio_list_invoice_events` | Lists all invoice events from Maxio/Chargify with optional filtering | | **List invoices** `maxio_list_invoices` | Returns a list of invoices with optional filtering and pagination | | **List metadata for resource type** `maxio_list_metadata_for_resource_type` | Lists all metadata definitions for a resource type in Maxio/Chargify Advanced Billing | | **List metafields** `maxio_list_metafields` | Lists all metafield definitions for a resource type in Maxio/Chargify Advanced Billing | ## Example prompts **Allocate Component** > Use Maxio to allocate component and walk me through the result in plain English. **Apply Coupons To Subscription** > Use Maxio to apply coupons to subscription and walk me through the result in plain English. **Archive Component** > Before using Maxio to archive component, show me what will change and ask for confirmation. **Archive Component Price Point** > Before using Maxio to archive component price point, show me what will change and ask for confirmation. ## 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 Maxio working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Maxio API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Maxio 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 Maxio. | 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 Maxio actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 177 tools for Maxio are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Maxio 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 Maxio in the browser, and the 177 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Maxio 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 Maxio skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Maxio, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Maxio 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 Maxio 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 Maxio tools Maxio 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 Maxio 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. ### Maxio 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 Maxio has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Maxio integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Maxio: link your Maxio account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Maxio API through 177 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Maxio to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Maxio skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Maxio. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Maxio key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Maxio to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Maxio in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Maxio 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 Maxio working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Maxio skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Maxio, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Maxio is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
