# How to connect Pinterest to OpenClaw (paste one key, 26 tools) > Connect Pinterest to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Pinterest key once and 26 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/pinterest The usual route to Pinterest 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 Pinterest setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Pinterest in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Pinterest 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 Pinterest. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Pinterest** — 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 pinterest # connect Pinterest (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions pinterest # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run pinterest --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 Pinterest in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — enter your Pinterest account details once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in Pinterest for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ### 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 Pinterest is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 26 Pinterest tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Pinterest to OpenClaw and exposes 26 Pinterest 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 Pinterest integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/pinterest) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Pinterest integration can do 26 Pinterest tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 23 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 26. ### 23 of 26 Pinterest tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Create board** `pinterest_create_board` | Create a public or secret board | | **Create pin** `pinterest_create_pin` | Post a Pin to one of your boards from an image or video | | **Get account analytics** `pinterest_get_account_analytics` | Get aggregate account analytics over a date range | | **Get board** `pinterest_get_board` | Get one board by ID, including secret boards | | **Get inspiration trends** `pinterest_get_inspiration_trends` | Get Pinterest editorial trend articles and featured trend topics | | **Get keyword trends** `pinterest_get_keyword_trends` | Find top growing, monthly, yearly, or seasonal Pinterest search keywords | | **Get pin** `pinterest_get_pin` | Get one public or secret Pin by ID | | **Get pin analytics** `pinterest_get_pin_analytics` | Get daily, summary, and lifetime analytics for one Pin | | **Get product trends** `pinterest_get_product_trends` | Get growing shopping categories or product-category trend metrics | | **Get profile** `pinterest_get_profile` | Get the connected Pinterest account's profile and content counts | | **Get top pins** `pinterest_get_top_pins` | List the account's top regular or video Pins by an analytics metric | | **Get website verification** `pinterest_get_website_verification` | Get the account's website-claim verification methods | | **List board sections** `pinterest_list_board_sections` | List the sections within a board | | **List boards** `pinterest_list_boards` | List the account's public, protected, or secret boards | | **List pins** `pinterest_list_pins` | List account Pins, board Pins, or Pins in a board section | | **List profile resources** `pinterest_list_profile_resources` | List followers, followed users, boards, interests, or claimed websites | | **Search own content** `pinterest_search_own_content` | Search the account's own boards or Pins | | **Update pin** `pinterest_update_pin` | Edit a Pin's title, description, link, or board | | **Get media** `pinterest_get_media` | Get a registered Pinterest video's current upload or processing status by media ID | | **Create board section** `pinterest_create_board_section` | Create a named section within a Pinterest board | | **Register media** `pinterest_register_media` | Register a Pinterest video upload and return the media ID, upload URL, and all multipart | | **Update board** `pinterest_update_board` | Update a board's name, description, or privacy | | **Update board section** `pinterest_update_board_section` | Rename a section within a Pinterest board | ## Example prompts **Create Board** > Create it in Pinterest for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create Pin** > Create it in Pinterest for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Get Account Analytics** > Pull the relevant data from Pinterest, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Board** > Pull the relevant data from Pinterest, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration 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 Pinterest working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Setup flow** | Collect and store the right Pinterest credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link Pinterest without custom integration screens. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Pinterest. | 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 Pinterest actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 26 tools for Pinterest are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Pinterest 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 Pinterest in the browser, and the 26 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Pinterest key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Pinterest 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 Pinterest 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 Pinterest tools Pinterest 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 Pinterest 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. ### Pinterest 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. ### The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for Pinterest. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles. ### Is there a OpenClaw Pinterest integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Pinterest: link your Pinterest account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Pinterest API through 26 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Pinterest to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Pinterest skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Pinterest. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Pinterest key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Pinterest to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Pinterest in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Pinterest up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration 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 Pinterest working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Pinterest skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Pinterest, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
