# How to connect Presenton to OpenClaw (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Presenton to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Presenton key once and 8 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/presenton The usual route to Presenton 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 Presenton setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Presenton in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Presenton 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 Presenton. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Presenton** — 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 presenton # connect Presenton (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions presenton # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run presenton --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 Presenton in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Presenton API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Presenton, 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 Presenton is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Presenton tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Presenton to OpenClaw and exposes 8 Presenton 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 Presenton integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/presenton) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Presenton integration can do 8 Presenton tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 8 Presenton tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get async task status** `presenton_get_async_task_status` | Get the current status and result or error for a Presenton asynchronous task | | **List presentations** `presenton_list_presentations` | List presentations owned by the connected Presenton Cloud account | | **List smart designs** `presenton_list_smart_designs` | List Smart Designs and their identifiers for use in presentation generation | | **List standard templates** `presenton_list_standard_templates` | List standard presentation templates and their identifiers for use in outline or presentation | | **Export presentation** `presenton_export_presentation` | Create a PPTX, PDF, or PNG export for an existing presentation; this may consume Presenton | | **Generate outline** `presenton_generate_outline` | Generate a reviewable slide outline from content or uploaded source files without creating a | | **Generate presentation async** `presenton_generate_presentation_async` | Queue a presentation generation job and return a task ID for status checks; this may consume | | **Upload source files** `presenton_upload_source_files` | Upload source files for presentation generation and return their identifiers | ## Example prompts **Get Async Task Status** > Pull the relevant data from Presenton, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Presentations** > List the relevant items in Presenton, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Smart Designs** > List the relevant items in Presenton, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next. **List Standard Templates** > List the relevant items in Presenton, 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 Presenton working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Presenton API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Presenton 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 Presenton. | 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 Presenton actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Presenton are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Presenton 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 Presenton in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Presenton key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Presenton 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 Presenton 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 Presenton tools Presenton 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 Presenton 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. ### Presenton 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 Presenton has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Presenton integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Presenton: link your Presenton account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Presenton API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Presenton to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Presenton skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Presenton. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Presenton key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Presenton to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Presenton in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Presenton 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 Presenton working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Presenton skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Presenton, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Presenton 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 - [OpenClaw DataRobot integration](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. - [OpenClaw Chatbotkit integration](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. - [Just One API](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.
