# How to connect Procfu to OpenClaw (paste one key, 12 tools)

> Connect Procfu to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Procfu key once and 12 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

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

The usual route to Procfu 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 Procfu setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Procfu in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Procfu 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 Procfu.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Procfu** — 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 procfu  # connect Procfu (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions procfu  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run procfu <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 Procfu in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Procfu API key once.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Use Procfu to array diff del 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 Procfu is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 12 Procfu tools over MCP.

## Procfu MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Procfu MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Procfu to OpenClaw and exposes 12 Procfu 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 Procfu integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/procfu) works the same way.

## What the OpenClaw Procfu integration can do

12 Procfu tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 11 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 12.

### 11 of 12 Procfu tools for OpenClaw

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Array diff del** `procfu_array_diff_del` | Return items removed when comparing two JSON arrays |
| **Array diff new** `procfu_array_diff_new` | Return items added in the second JSON array |
| **Array diff same** `procfu_array_diff_same` | Get items present in both JSON arrays |
| **Array sort** `procfu_array_sort` | Sort a JSON array of values |
| **Dummy data** `procfu_dummy_data` | Generate dummy data |
| **Open AI gpt** `procfu_open_ai_gpt` | Ask a question to OpenAI GPT |

| **Open AI image** `procfu_open_ai_image` | Generate an image via OpenAI API |
| **Upload podio item image** `procfu_upload_podio_item_image` | Upload a remote image file by URL to a Podio item image field |

## Example prompts

**Array Diff Del**

## 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 Procfu working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Procfu API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Procfu 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 Procfu. | 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 Procfu actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 12 tools for Procfu are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Procfu 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 Procfu in the browser, and the 12 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Procfu key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

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

### Procfu 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 Procfu has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes.

### Is there a OpenClaw Procfu integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Procfu: link your Procfu account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Procfu API through 12 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Procfu to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Procfu skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Procfu. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Procfu key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

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

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Procfu 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 Procfu working from chat.

### OpenClaw installed the Procfu skill but can't call the tools
