# How to connect Vantage to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect Vantage to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 134 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/vantage The usual route to Vantage 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 Vantage setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Vantage in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Vantage 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 Vantage. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Vantage** — 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 vantage # connect Vantage (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions vantage # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run vantage --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 Vantage in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Use Vantage to mcp get anomaly 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 Vantage is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 134 Vantage tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Vantage to OpenClaw and exposes 134 Vantage 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 Vantage integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/vantage) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw Vantage integration can do 134 Vantage 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 134. ### 30 of 134 Vantage tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Mcp get anomaly** `vantage_mcp_get_anomaly` | Gets a specific anomaly alert by its token | | **Mcp get billing rule** `vantage_mcp_get_billing_rule` | Gets a specific Billing Rule by its token | | **Mcp get budget** `vantage_mcp_get_budget` | Gets a specific Budget by its token | | **Mcp get budget alert** `vantage_mcp_get_budget_alert` | Get a specific Budget Alert by token | | **Mcp get business metric** `vantage_mcp_get_business_metric` | Get a specific BusinessMetric by token | | **Mcp get business metric forecasted values** `vantage_mcp_get_business_metric_forecasted_values` | Get forecasted values for a BusinessMetric | | **Mcp get business metric values** `vantage_mcp_get_business_metric_values` | Get historical values for a BusinessMetric | | **Mcp get canvas** `vantage_mcp_get_canvas` | Gets a specific Canvas by its token | | **Mcp get cost alert** `vantage_mcp_get_cost_alert` | Gets a specific Cost Alert by its token | | **Mcp get cost alert event** `vantage_mcp_get_cost_alert_event` | Gets a specific Cost Alert event by its token | | **Mcp get cost provider accounts** `vantage_mcp_get_cost_provider_accounts` | Get Cost Provider Accounts in a workspace with human-readable titles | | **Mcp get cost report** `vantage_mcp_get_cost_report` | Gets a specific cost report by its token | | **Mcp get cost report forecast** `vantage_mcp_get_cost_report_forecast` | Given a Cost Report Token, Vantage can forecast the costs for a given time range | | **Mcp get dashboard** `vantage_mcp_get_dashboard` | Gets a specific dashboard by its token | | **Mcp get financial commitment report** `vantage_mcp_get_financial_commitment_report` | Gets a specific financial commitment report by its token | | **Mcp get folder** `vantage_mcp_get_folder` | Gets a specific Folder by its token | | **Mcp get myself** `vantage_mcp_get_myself` | Get data that is available to the current auth token | | **Mcp get network flow report** `vantage_mcp_get_network_flow_report` | Gets a saved Network Flow Report by token | | **Mcp get provider resource** `vantage_mcp_get_provider_resource` | Get detailed information about a specific provider resource using its token or UUID | | **Mcp get recommendation details** `vantage_mcp_get_recommendation_details` | Get comprehensive details about a specific cost optimization recommendation using its unique | | **Mcp get recommendation resource details** `vantage_mcp_get_recommendation_resource_details` | Get comprehensive details about a specific infrastructure resource within a cost optimization | | **Mcp get recommendation resources** `vantage_mcp_get_recommendation_resources` | Get a paginated list of all infrastructure resources affected by a specific cost optimization | | **Mcp get recommendation view** `vantage_mcp_get_recommendation_view` | Gets a specific recommendation view by its token | | **Mcp get report forecast** `vantage_mcp_get_report_forecast` | Get a specific scenario-model ReportForecast by token | | **Mcp get report notification** `vantage_mcp_get_report_notification` | Gets a specific Report Notification by its token | | **Mcp get resource report** `vantage_mcp_get_resource_report` | Gets a specific resource report by its token | | **Mcp get scenario model** `vantage_mcp_get_scenario_model` | Get a specific ScenarioModel by token | | **Mcp get team** `vantage_mcp_get_team` | Gets a specific team with its token | | **Mcp get team members** `vantage_mcp_get_team_members` | Return the members of a Team, including each user's name, email, token, and Team role | | **Mcp get teams** `vantage_mcp_get_teams` | Return all Teams that the user has access to | ## Example prompts **Mcp Get Anomaly** > Use Vantage to mcp get anomaly and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Get Billing Rule** > Use Vantage to mcp get billing rule and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Get Budget** > Use Vantage to mcp get budget and walk me through the result in plain English. **Mcp Get Budget Alert** > Use Vantage to mcp get budget alert 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 Vantage working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Vantage app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Vantage 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 Vantage. | 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 Vantage actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 134 tools for Vantage are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Vantage 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 Vantage in the browser, and the 134 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage tools Vantage 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 Vantage 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. ### Vantage 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 Vantage 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 Vantage integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Vantage: link your Vantage account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Vantage API through 134 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Vantage to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Vantage skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Vantage. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect Vantage to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Vantage in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Vantage 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 Vantage working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Vantage skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Vantage, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
