# How to connect Recall.ai to OpenClaw (paste one key, 63 tools) > Connect Recall.ai to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Recall.ai key once and 63 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/recallai The usual route to Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Recall.ai in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Recall.ai 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/recallai ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Recall.ai. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Recall.ai** — 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 recallai # connect Recall.ai (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions recallai # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run recallai --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 Recall.ai in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Recall.ai API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Create it in Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 63 Recall.ai tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Recall.ai to OpenClaw and exposes 63 Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/recallai) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Recall.ai integration can do 63 Recall.ai tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 63. ### 30 of 63 Recall.ai tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Create bot** `recallai_create_bot` | Create a new bot to join and record a meeting. | | **Create calendar** `recallai_create_calendar` | Tool to create a new calendar integration with Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.

That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Recall.ai working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Recall.ai API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai. | 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 Recall.ai actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 63 tools for Recall.ai are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai in the browser, and the 63 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Recall.ai key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Recall.ai skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Recall.ai, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai tools Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai 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. ### Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Recall.ai integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Recall.ai: link your Recall.ai account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Recall.ai API through 63 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Recall.ai to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Recall.ai skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Recall.ai. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Recall.ai key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Recall.ai to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Recall.ai in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Recall.ai 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 Recall.ai working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Recall.ai skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Recall.ai, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Recall.ai is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
