# How to connect Postiz to OpenClaw (paste one key, 9 tools) > Connect Postiz to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Postiz key once and 9 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/postiz The usual route to Postiz 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 Postiz setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Postiz in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Postiz 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/postiz ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Postiz. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Postiz** — 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 postiz # connect Postiz (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions postiz # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run postiz --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 Postiz in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Postiz API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Postiz to mcp ask postiz 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 Postiz is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 9 Postiz tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Postiz to OpenClaw and exposes 9 Postiz 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 Postiz integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/postiz) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Postiz integration can do 9 Postiz tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 9 Postiz tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Mcp ask postiz** `postiz_mcp_ask_postiz` | Ask the Postiz agent a question about managing or scheduling posts | | **Mcp generateimagetool** `postiz_mcp_generateimagetool` | Generate an image to use in a social media post | | **Mcp generatevideooptions** `postiz_mcp_generatevideooptions` | Get available options for video generation | | **Mcp generatevideotool** `postiz_mcp_generatevideotool` | Generate a video to use in a social media post | | **Mcp integrationlist** `postiz_mcp_integrationlist` | List connected social media integrations in Postiz | | **Mcp integrationscheduleposttool** `postiz_mcp_integrationscheduleposttool` | Schedule or publish a post to a social media platform | | **Mcp integrationschema** `postiz_mcp_integrationschema` | Get the posting schema for a social media platform | | **Mcp triggertool** `postiz_mcp_triggertool` | Fetch additional details needed for scheduling posts | | **Mcp videofunctiontool** `postiz_mcp_videofunctiontool` | Get extra video generation info like available voice IDs | ## Example prompts **Mcp Ask Postiz** > Use Postiz to mcp ask postiz and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Generateimagetool** > Use Postiz to mcp generateimagetool and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Generatevideooptions** > Use Postiz to mcp generatevideooptions and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Generatevideotool** > Use Postiz to mcp generatevideotool and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Postiz working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Postiz API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Postiz 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 Postiz. | 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 Postiz actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 9 tools for Postiz are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Postiz 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 Postiz in the browser, and the 9 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Postiz key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Postiz 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 Postiz 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 Postiz tools Postiz 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 Postiz 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. ### Postiz 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 Postiz has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Postiz integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Postiz: link your Postiz account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Postiz API through 9 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Postiz to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Postiz skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Postiz. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Postiz key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Postiz to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Postiz in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Postiz 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 Postiz working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Postiz skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Postiz, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Postiz is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
