# How to connect Webex to OpenClaw (no API keys)

> Connect Webex 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/webex

The usual route to Webex 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 Webex setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Webex in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Webex actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself.

## Webex MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Webex MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Webex to OpenClaw and exposes 0 Webex 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 Webex integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/webex) 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/webex

## Setup

It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Webex.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Webex** — 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 webex  # connect Webex (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions webex  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run webex <action> --input '<json>'  # execute (add --confirm for writes)
```

## What the OpenClaw Webex integration can do

- **Communication** — tools appear after Webex is connected.

## 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 Webex working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Connection flow** | Register a Webex app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Webex 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 Webex. | 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 Webex actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 0 tools for Webex are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Webex 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 Webex in the browser, and the connected Webex account works from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison.

### OpenClaw installed the Webex skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Webex, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Webex 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 Webex 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 Webex tools
Webex 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 Webex 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.

### Webex 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 Webex 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 Webex integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Webex: link your Webex account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Webex API through ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Webex to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Webex skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Webex. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys.

### How long does it take to connect Webex to OpenClaw?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Webex in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message.

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Webex 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 Webex working from chat.
