# How to connect Simplekpi to OpenClaw (paste one key, 51 tools) > Connect Simplekpi to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Simplekpi key once and 51 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/simplekpi The usual route to Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Simplekpi in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Simplekpi** — 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 simplekpi # connect Simplekpi (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions simplekpi # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run simplekpi --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 Simplekpi in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — enter your Simplekpi account details once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, 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 Simplekpi is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 51 Simplekpi tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Simplekpi to OpenClaw and exposes 51 Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/simplekpi) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Simplekpi integration can do 51 Simplekpi 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 51. ### 30 of 51 Simplekpi tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get all data entries** `simplekpi_get_all_data_entries` | Retrieve processed KPI data entries for reports including calculated KPIs | | **Get category KPI** `simplekpi_get_category_kpi` | Retrieve a specific KPI within a category | | **Get group** `simplekpi_get_group` | Get a specific group by ID from SimplekPI | | **Get group item** `simplekpi_get_group_item` | Retrieve a specific group item by ID | | **Get KPI** `simplekpi_get_kpi` | Retrieve a specific KPI by ID from SimpleKPI | | **Get KPI category** `simplekpi_get_kpi_category` | Get a specific KPI category by ID from SimpleKPI | | **Get KPI entry** `simplekpi_get_kpi_entry` | Retrieve a specific KPI entry by ID | | **Get KPI frequency** `simplekpi_get_kpi_frequency` | Get a specific KPI frequency by ID from SimplekPI | | **Get KPI icon** `simplekpi_get_kpi_icon` | Retrieve a specific KPI icon by ID | | **Get KPI unit** `simplekpi_get_kpi_unit` | Get a specific KPI unit by ID from SimpleKPI | | **Get user** `simplekpi_get_user` | Retrieve a specific user by ID | | **Get user group item** `simplekpi_get_user_group_item` | Get a specific group item assigned to a user | | **Get user KPI** `simplekpi_get_user_kpi` | Retrieve a specific KPI assigned to a user | | **List category kpis** `simplekpi_list_category_kpis` | Retrieve all KPIs within a specific category | | **List group items** `simplekpi_list_group_items` | Get all items within a group | | **List groups** `simplekpi_list_groups` | Retrieve all groups from SimpleKPI | | **List KPI categories** `simplekpi_list_kpi_categories` | Get all KPI categories | | **List KPI entries** `simplekpi_list_kpi_entries` | Get all KPI entries filtered by date range and optional criteria | | **List KPI frequencies** `simplekpi_list_kpi_frequencies` | Get all KPI frequencies | | **List KPI icons** `simplekpi_list_kpi_icons` | Retrieve all KPI icons from SimpleKPI | | **List KPI units** `simplekpi_list_kpi_units` | Retrieve all KPI units from a SimpleKPI account | | **List kpis** `simplekpi_list_kpis` | Retrieve all KPIs from a SimpleKPI account | | **List user group items** `simplekpi_list_user_group_items` | Get all group items assigned to a user | | **List user kpis** `simplekpi_list_user_kpis` | Get all KPIs assigned to a specific user | | **Add user group item** `simplekpi_add_user_group_item` | Assign a group item to a user in SimpleKPI | | **Add user KPI** `simplekpi_add_user_kpi` | Assign a KPI to a user in SimpleKPI | | **Create category KPI** `simplekpi_create_category_kpi` | Create a new KPI within a category in SimpleKPI | | **Create group** `simplekpi_create_group` | Create a new group in SimpleKPI | | **Create group item** `simplekpi_create_group_item` | Create a new item within a group in SimpleKPI | | **Create KPI** `simplekpi_create_kpi` | Create a new KPI with specified configuration | ## Example prompts **Get All Data Entries** > Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Category Kpi** > Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Group** > Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Group Item** > Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, 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 Simplekpi working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Setup flow** | Collect and store the right Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi without custom integration screens. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Simplekpi. | 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 Simplekpi actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 51 tools for Simplekpi are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi in the browser, and the 51 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Simplekpi key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi tools Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi 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. ### Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles. ### Is there a OpenClaw Simplekpi integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Simplekpi: link your Simplekpi account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Simplekpi API through 51 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Simplekpi to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Simplekpi skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Simplekpi. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Simplekpi key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Simplekpi to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Simplekpi in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Simplekpi skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Simplekpi, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
