# How to connect Tisane Labs to OpenClaw (paste one key, 7 tools) > Connect Tisane Labs to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Tisane Labs key once and 7 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/tisane The usual route to Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Tisane Labs in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Tisane Labs** — 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 tisane # connect Tisane Labs (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions tisane # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run tisane --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 Tisane Labs in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Tisane Labs API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Tisane Labs to analyze text 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 Tisane Labs is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 7 Tisane Labs tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Tisane Labs to OpenClaw and exposes 7 Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/tisane) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Tisane Labs integration can do 7 Tisane Labs tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 7 Tisane Labs tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Analyze text** `tisane_analyze_text` | Analyze text for sentiment, abuse, entities, topics, sentence structure, and other requested | | **Calculate text similarity** `tisane_calculate_text_similarity` | Calculate semantic similarity between two same-language or cross-language text fragments | | **Compare person entities** `tisane_compare_person_entities` | Compare two person-name entities, including cross-language names, and report whether Tisane | | **Detect languages** `tisane_detect_languages` | Detect one or more languages in text, optionally segmenting it, and return offsets plus | | **Extract text** `tisane_extract_text` | Remove markup, scripts, styles, and JSON structure from UTF-8 text content and return the | | **List languages** `tisane_list_languages` | List Tisane language records and whether each language model is currently loaded | | **Transform text** `tisane_transform_text` | Translate text to another language, or paraphrase it by using the same source and target | ## Example prompts **Analyze Text** > Use Tisane Labs to analyze text and walk me through the result in plain English. **Calculate Text Similarity** > Use Tisane Labs to calculate text similarity and walk me through the result in plain English. **Compare Person Entities** > Use Tisane Labs to compare person entities and walk me through the result in plain English. **Detect Languages** > Use Tisane Labs to detect languages and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Tisane Labs working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Tisane Labs API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs. | 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 Tisane Labs actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 7 tools for Tisane Labs are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs in the browser, and the 7 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Tisane Labs key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs tools Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs 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. ### Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw Tisane Labs integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Tisane Labs: link your Tisane Labs account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Tisane Labs API through 7 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Tisane Labs to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Tisane Labs skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Tisane Labs. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Tisane Labs key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Tisane Labs to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Tisane Labs in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Tisane Labs 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 Tisane Labs working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Tisane Labs skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Tisane Labs, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Tisane Labs is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog.
