# How to connect Saucelabs to OpenClaw (paste one key, 6 tools) > Connect Saucelabs to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Saucelabs key once and 6 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/saucelabs The usual route to Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Saucelabs in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Saucelabs** — 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 saucelabs # connect Saucelabs (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions saucelabs # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run saucelabs --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 Saucelabs in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — enter your Saucelabs account details once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Saucelabs, 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 Saucelabs is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Saucelabs tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Saucelabs to OpenClaw and exposes 6 Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/saucelabs) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Saucelabs integration can do 6 Saucelabs tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 6 Saucelabs tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get API definition** `saucelabs_get_api_definition` | Retrieve the OpenAPI/Swagger JSON documentation for the Sauce Labs Performance API | | **Get API status** `saucelabs_get_api_status` | Retrieve the current operational status of Sauce Labs services | | **Get appium eol** `saucelabs_get_appium_eol` | Retrieve end-of-life information for Appium versions | | **Get platforms** `saucelabs_get_platforms` | Get supported platforms for an automation API | | **Get tunnel versions** `saucelabs_get_tunnel_versions` | Retrieve information about available Sauce Connect tunnel versions | | **List jobs** `saucelabs_list_jobs` | Retrieve all jobs for a SauceLabs user | ## Example prompts **Get Api Definition** > Pull the relevant data from Saucelabs, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Api Status** > Pull the relevant data from Saucelabs, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Appium Eol** > Pull the relevant data from Saucelabs, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Platforms** > Pull the relevant data from Saucelabs, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual credential 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 Saucelabs working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Setup flow** | Collect and store the right Saucelabs credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link Saucelabs without custom integration screens. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Saucelabs. | 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 Saucelabs actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Saucelabs are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Saucelabs key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs tools Saucelabs 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 Saucelabs 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. ### Saucelabs 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. ### The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for Saucelabs. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles. ### Is there a OpenClaw Saucelabs integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Saucelabs: link your Saucelabs account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Saucelabs API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Saucelabs to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Saucelabs skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Saucelabs. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Saucelabs key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Saucelabs to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Saucelabs in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Saucelabs up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual credential 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 Saucelabs working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Saucelabs skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Saucelabs, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
