# How to connect TinyFish to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect TinyFish to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 8 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/tinyfish The usual route to TinyFish 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 TinyFish setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect TinyFish in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real TinyFish 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 TinyFish. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect TinyFish** — 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 tinyfish # connect TinyFish (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions tinyfish # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run tinyfish --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 TinyFish in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use TinyFish to mcp get run 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 TinyFish is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 TinyFish tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects TinyFish to OpenClaw and exposes 8 TinyFish 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 TinyFish integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/tinyfish) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw TinyFish integration can do 8 TinyFish tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 8 TinyFish tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Mcp get run** `tinyfish_mcp_get_run` | Retrieves details of a specific automation run by its ID | | **Mcp get steps** `tinyfish_mcp_get_steps` | Retrieves the steps taken during an automation run, including screenshots | | **Mcp list runs** `tinyfish_mcp_list_runs` | Lists automation runs with optional filtering by status and pagination support | | **Mcp poll status** `tinyfish_mcp_poll_status` | Polls the current status of an automation run | | **Mcp cancel run** `tinyfish_mcp_cancel_run` | Cancels a running or pending automation run by its ID | | **Mcp discover run** `tinyfish_mcp_discover_run` | Discovers the currently running automation for this session | | **Mcp run web automation** `tinyfish_mcp_run_web_automation` | Executes web automation given a URL and a Natural Language description of the automation goal | | **Mcp run web automation async** `tinyfish_mcp_run_web_automation_async` | Starts a NEW web automation run asynchronously and returns a run_id immediately without waiting | ## Example prompts **Mcp Get Run** > Use TinyFish to mcp get run and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Get Steps** > Use TinyFish to mcp get steps and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp List Runs** > Use TinyFish to mcp list runs and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Poll Status** > Use TinyFish to mcp poll status and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 TinyFish working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a TinyFish app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect TinyFish 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 TinyFish. | 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 TinyFish actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for TinyFish are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes TinyFish 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 TinyFish in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure TinyFish 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 TinyFish 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 TinyFish tools TinyFish 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 TinyFish 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. ### TinyFish 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 TinyFish 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 TinyFish integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to TinyFish: link your TinyFish account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the TinyFish API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add TinyFish to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink TinyFish skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize TinyFish. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect TinyFish to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to TinyFish in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring TinyFish 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 TinyFish working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the TinyFish skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about TinyFish, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure TinyFish 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. ## Related - [OpenClaw DataRobot integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/datarobot) — DataRobot is a machine learning platform that automates model building, deployment, and monitoring, enabling organizations to derive predictive insights from large datasets. - [Connect Chatbotkit](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/chatbotkit) — ChatBotKit is a platform that enables developers to build and manage AI-powered chatbots, offering comprehensive APIs and SDKs for seamless integration into applications. - [Just One API](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/just-one-api) — Just One API provides unified access to public social media, creator, entertainment, and ecommerce data across hundreds of metered endpoints.
