# How to connect Microsoft OneDrive to OpenClaw (no API keys)

> Connect Microsoft OneDrive to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 60 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/onedrive

The usual route to Microsoft OneDrive 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 Microsoft OneDrive setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Microsoft OneDrive in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Microsoft OneDrive 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/onedrive

## Setup

It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Microsoft OneDrive.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Microsoft OneDrive** — 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 onedrive  # connect Microsoft OneDrive (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions onedrive  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run onedrive <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 Microsoft OneDrive in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Use Microsoft OneDrive to one drive copy item 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 Microsoft OneDrive is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 60 Microsoft OneDrive tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: [connect apps to any AI agent](https://claw-link.dev/learn/connect-apps-to-any-ai-agent).

## Microsoft OneDrive MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Microsoft OneDrive MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Microsoft OneDrive to OpenClaw and exposes 60 Microsoft OneDrive 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 Microsoft OneDrive integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/onedrive) works the same way.

## ClawLink vs. building it yourself

The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Microsoft OneDrive working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Connection flow** | Register a Microsoft OneDrive app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Microsoft OneDrive through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. |
| **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Microsoft OneDrive. | 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 Microsoft OneDrive actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 60 tools for Microsoft OneDrive are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Microsoft OneDrive 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 Microsoft OneDrive in the browser, and the 60 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

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

### Microsoft OneDrive 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.

### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing
Try reconnecting Microsoft OneDrive and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete.

### Is there a OpenClaw Microsoft OneDrive integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Microsoft OneDrive: link your Microsoft OneDrive account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Microsoft OneDrive API through 60 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Microsoft OneDrive to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Microsoft OneDrive skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Microsoft OneDrive. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage.

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

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Microsoft OneDrive up myself?
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Microsoft OneDrive working from chat.

### OpenClaw installed the Microsoft OneDrive skill but can't call the tools
