# How to connect Wufoo to OpenClaw (paste one key, 7 tools)

> Connect Wufoo to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Wufoo 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/wufoo

The usual route to Wufoo 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 Wufoo setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Wufoo in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Wufoo 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 Wufoo.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Wufoo** — 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 wufoo  # connect Wufoo (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions wufoo  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run wufoo <action> --input '<json>'  # 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 Wufoo in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Wufoo API key once.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Use Wufoo to count entries 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 Wufoo is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 7 Wufoo tools over MCP.

## Wufoo MCP for OpenClaw

Looking for a Wufoo MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Wufoo to OpenClaw and exposes 7 Wufoo 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 Wufoo integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/wufoo) works the same way.

## What the OpenClaw Wufoo integration can do

7 Wufoo tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected.

### All 7 Wufoo tools for OpenClaw

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Count entries** `wufoo_count_entries` | Count entries for either a Wufoo form or report without downloading them |
| **Get fields** `wufoo_get_fields` | Return field definitions and API field IDs for a Wufoo form or for the form underlying a report |
| **Get form** `wufoo_get_form` | Get metadata for one Wufoo form by its permanent hash or title identifier |
| **List entries** `wufoo_list_entries` | List entries from a Wufoo form or report |
| **List form comments** `wufoo_list_form_comments` | List Entry Manager comments for a form or for one entry, one page at a time |
| **List forms** `wufoo_list_forms` | List forms accessible to the connected Wufoo user and return a cursor for the next page |
| **List reports** `wufoo_list_reports` | List reports accessible to the connected Wufoo user |

## Example prompts

**Count Entries**

> Use Wufoo to count entries and walk me through the result in plain English.

**Get Fields**

> Pull the relevant data from Wufoo, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention.

**Get Form**

> Pull the relevant data from Wufoo, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention.

**List Entries**

> List the relevant items in Wufoo, group them by priority, and recommend what OpenClaw should do next.

## 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 Wufoo working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Wufoo API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Wufoo 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 Wufoo. | 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 Wufoo actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 7 tools for Wufoo are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Wufoo 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 Wufoo in the browser, and the 7 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Wufoo key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

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

### Wufoo 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 Wufoo has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes.

### Is there a OpenClaw Wufoo integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Wufoo: link your Wufoo account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Wufoo API through 7 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Wufoo to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Wufoo skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Wufoo. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Wufoo key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

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

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

### OpenClaw installed the Wufoo skill but can't call the tools
