How to connect Pylon to OpenClaw (no API keys)

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

1
Install the plugin
Paste the setup prompt into OpenClaw, or install from the terminal and ask OpenClaw to pair:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
2
Connect Pylon
One-click OAuth in the dashboard.
3
Use it from chat
Ask OpenClaw: "What can you do with Pylon?"

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:

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 Pylon in the ClawLink dashboard — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

Use Pylon to mcp get account 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:

npx -y @useclawlink/cli login

login opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Pylon is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 12 Pylon tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: connect apps to any AI agent.

Pylon MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Pylon MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Pylon to OpenClaw and exposes 12 Pylon tools your agent can call over MCP, with hosted auth and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The Hermes Pylon integration works the same way.

ClawLink vs. building it yourself

The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Pylon working from chat.

	Manual	ClawLink
Connection flow	Register a Pylon app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift.	Users connect Pylon through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code.
Ongoing maintenance	You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Pylon.	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 Pylon actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use.	12 tools for Pylon are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately.

ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Pylon 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 Pylon in the browser, and the 12 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them? Read the full Composio alternatives comparison.

Troubleshooting

OpenClaw installed the Pylon skill but can't call the tools

The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Pylon, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Pylon 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 Pylon 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 Pylon tools

Pylon 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 Pylon 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.

Pylon 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.

OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing

Try reconnecting Pylon and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete.
