# How to connect Servicem8 to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect Servicem8 to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — hosted OAuth, no API keys, no manual setup. Run real actions straight from chat. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/servicem8 The usual route to Servicem8 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 Servicem8 setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Servicem8 in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Servicem8 actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Servicem8 MCP for OpenClaw Looking for a Servicem8 MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Servicem8 to OpenClaw and exposes 0 Servicem8 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 Servicem8 integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/servicem8) works the same way. **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/servicem8 ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Servicem8. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Servicem8** — 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 servicem8 # connect Servicem8 (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions servicem8 # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run servicem8 --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ## What the OpenClaw Servicem8 integration can do - **Support** — tools appear after Servicem8 is connected. ## Example prompts No example prompts are available yet. ## 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 Servicem8 working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Servicem8 app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Servicem8 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 Servicem8. | 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 Servicem8 actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 0 tools for Servicem8 are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Servicem8 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 Servicem8 in the browser, and the connected Servicem8 account works from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure Servicem8 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 Servicem8 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 Servicem8 tools Servicem8 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 Servicem8 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. ### Servicem8 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 Servicem8 and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a OpenClaw Servicem8 integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Servicem8: link your Servicem8 account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Servicem8 API through ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Servicem8 to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Servicem8 skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Servicem8. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys. ### How long does it take to connect Servicem8 to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Servicem8 in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Servicem8 up myself? 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 Servicem8 working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Servicem8 skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Servicem8, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
