# How to connect Rollbar to OpenClaw (paste one key, 17 tools) > Connect Rollbar to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Rollbar key once and 17 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/rollbar The usual route to Rollbar 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 Rollbar setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Rollbar in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Rollbar 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 Rollbar. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Rollbar** — 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 rollbar # connect Rollbar (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions rollbar # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run rollbar --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 Rollbar in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Rollbar API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Rollbar to check team project assignment 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 Rollbar is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 17 Rollbar tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Rollbar to OpenClaw and exposes 17 Rollbar 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 Rollbar integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/rollbar) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Rollbar integration can do 17 Rollbar tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 17 Rollbar tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Check team project assignment** `rollbar_check_team_project_assignment` | Check if a team is assigned to a project in Rollbar | | **Check user team assignment** `rollbar_check_user_team_assignment` | Check if a user is assigned to a team in Rollbar | | **Get occurrences metrics** `rollbar_get_occurrences_metrics` | Get occurrence counts over a span of time with flexible grouping, filtering, and aggregation | | **Get project** `rollbar_get_project` | Retrieve details of a specific Rollbar project by its ID | | **Get team** `rollbar_get_team` | Retrieve details of a specific team by ID | | **Get ttr metrics** `rollbar_get_ttr_metrics` | Get resolution time metrics for a list of projects | | **Get user** `rollbar_get_user` | Retrieve a specific user from Rollbar by their user ID | | **List all projects** `rollbar_list_all_projects` | List all projects in the Rollbar account | | **List all teams** `rollbar_list_all_teams` | List all teams in a Rollbar account | | **List all users** `rollbar_list_all_users` | List all users in the Rollbar account | | **List project teams** `rollbar_list_project_teams` | List all teams with access to a Rollbar project | | **List rql jobs** `rollbar_list_rql_jobs` | List all RQL (Rollbar Query Language) jobs | | **List team invitations** `rollbar_list_team_invitations` | List pending invitations to a Rollbar team | | **List team projects** `rollbar_list_team_projects` | List all projects a team has access to in Rollbar | | **List team users** `rollbar_list_team_users` | List all users in a Rollbar team | | **List user projects** `rollbar_list_user_projects` | List all projects a user has access to | | **List user teams** `rollbar_list_user_teams` | List all teams a user belongs to in Rollbar | ## Example prompts **Check Team Project Assignment** > Use Rollbar to check team project assignment and walk me through the result in plain English. **Check User Team Assignment** > Use Rollbar to check user team assignment and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Occurrences Metrics** > Pull the relevant data from Rollbar, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Project** > Pull the relevant data from Rollbar, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 Rollbar working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Rollbar API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Rollbar 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 Rollbar. | 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 Rollbar actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 17 tools for Rollbar are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Rollbar 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 Rollbar in the browser, and the 17 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Rollbar 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 Rollbar skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Rollbar, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Rollbar 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 Rollbar 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 Rollbar tools Rollbar 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 Rollbar 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. ### Rollbar 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 Rollbar has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Rollbar integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Rollbar: link your Rollbar account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Rollbar API through 17 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Rollbar to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Rollbar skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Rollbar. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Rollbar key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Rollbar to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Rollbar in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Rollbar 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 Rollbar working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Rollbar skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Rollbar, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Rollbar is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
