# How to connect Pilvio to OpenClaw (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect Pilvio to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Pilvio 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/pilvio The usual route to Pilvio 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 Pilvio setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Pilvio in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Pilvio 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 Pilvio. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Pilvio** — 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 pilvio # connect Pilvio (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions pilvio # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run pilvio --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 Pilvio in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Pilvio API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Pilvio to check active campaigns 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 Pilvio is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 Pilvio tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Pilvio to OpenClaw and exposes 10 Pilvio 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 Pilvio integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/pilvio) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Pilvio integration can do 10 Pilvio tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 10 Pilvio tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Check active campaigns** `pilvio_check_active_campaigns` | Check for active campaigns | | **Get user info** `pilvio_get_user_info` | Retrieve information about the authenticated user | | **List billing accounts** `pilvio_list_billing_accounts` | List billing accounts | | **List credit cards** `pilvio_list_credit_cards` | List credit cards attached to a billing account | | **List invoices** `pilvio_list_invoices` | Retrieve a list of invoices | | **List locations** `pilvio_list_locations` | Retrieve the list of available data center locations | | **List vm resource pools** `pilvio_list_vm_resource_pools` | Retrieve the list of available VM resource pools | | **List vm snapshots** `pilvio_list_vm_snapshots` | List snapshots (replicas) of a specific VM | | **List vms** `pilvio_list_vms` | Retrieve a list of all virtual machines | | **Update user profile** `pilvio_update_user_profile` | Update the authenticated user's profile | ## Example prompts **Check Active Campaigns** > Use Pilvio to check active campaigns and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get User Info** > Pull the relevant data from Pilvio, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Billing Accounts** > List the relevant items in Pilvio, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Credit Cards** > List the relevant items in Pilvio, 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 Pilvio working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Pilvio API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Pilvio 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 Pilvio. | 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 Pilvio actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for Pilvio are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Pilvio 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 Pilvio in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Pilvio key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Pilvio 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 Pilvio 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 Pilvio tools Pilvio 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 Pilvio 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. ### Pilvio 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 Pilvio has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Pilvio integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Pilvio: link your Pilvio account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Pilvio API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Pilvio to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Pilvio skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Pilvio. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Pilvio key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Pilvio to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Pilvio in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Pilvio 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 Pilvio working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Pilvio skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Pilvio, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Pilvio is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
