# How to connect Nanonets OCR to OpenClaw (paste one key, 6 tools) > Connect Nanonets OCR to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Nanonets OCR 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/nanonets-ocr The usual route to Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Nanonets OCR in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Nanonets OCR** — 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 nanonets-ocr # connect Nanonets OCR (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions nanonets-ocr # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run nanonets-ocr --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 Nanonets OCR in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Nanonets OCR API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Nanonets OCR, 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 Nanonets OCR is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Nanonets OCR tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Nanonets OCR to OpenClaw and exposes 6 Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/nanonets-ocr) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Nanonets OCR integration can do 6 Nanonets OCR tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 6 Nanonets OCR tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get model** `nanonets_ocr_get_model` | Get readiness, accuracy, extraction fields, and table configuration for one Nanonets OCR model | | **Get prediction file** `nanonets_ocr_get_prediction_file` | Get normalized extraction results for every page of one previously processed Nanonets OCR file | | **Get prediction page** `nanonets_ocr_get_prediction_page` | Get normalized extracted fields and tables for one OCR prediction page | | **List models** `nanonets_ocr_list_models` | List the OCR models available to the connected Nanonets account, including each model's ID | | **List predictions** `nanonets_ocr_list_predictions` | List compact OCR prediction-page summaries for a model within an inclusive UTC date range | | **Extract from URL** `nanonets_ocr_extract_from_url` | Synchronously extract model-defined fields and tables from one publicly reachable document URL | ## Example prompts **Get Model** > Pull the relevant data from Nanonets OCR, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Prediction File** > Pull the relevant data from Nanonets OCR, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Prediction Page** > Pull the relevant data from Nanonets OCR, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Models** > List the relevant items in Nanonets OCR, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. ## 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 Nanonets OCR working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Nanonets OCR API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR. | 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 Nanonets OCR actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Nanonets OCR are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Nanonets OCR key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR tools Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR 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. ### Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Nanonets OCR integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Nanonets OCR: link your Nanonets OCR account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Nanonets OCR API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Nanonets OCR to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Nanonets OCR skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Nanonets OCR. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Nanonets OCR key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Nanonets OCR to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Nanonets OCR in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Nanonets OCR 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 Nanonets OCR working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Nanonets OCR skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Nanonets OCR, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Nanonets OCR 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 - [DataRobot](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/datarobot) — DataRobot is a machine learning platform that automates model building, deployment, and monitoring, enabling organizations to derive predictive insights from large datasets. - [Chatbotkit](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/chatbotkit) — ChatBotKit is a platform that enables developers to build and manage AI-powered chatbots, offering comprehensive APIs and SDKs for seamless integration into applications. - [OpenClaw Just One API integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/just-one-api) — Just One API provides unified access to public social media, creator, entertainment, and ecommerce data across hundreds of metered endpoints.
