How to connect X public data to OpenClaw
Connect X public data to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your X public data key once and 28 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.
Read any public X profile, posts, replies, search and trends. Read-only and not your account: nothing to connect, paid per call from credit. Once connected, OpenClaw can read and act on X public data from chat — pairing, token refresh, and tool wiring handled for you.
The usual route to X public data 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 X public data setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect X public data in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real X public data 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 X public data.
1Install the plugin
Paste the setup prompt into OpenClaw, or install from the terminal and ask OpenClaw to pair:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin- 2
Connect X public data
Enter your account details in the dashboard.
- 3
Use it from chat
Ask OpenClaw: "What can you do with X public data?"
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:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-pluginThen 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 X public data in the ClawLink dashboard — enter your X public data account details once.
Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:
Use X public data to xdata user profile 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:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli loginlogin opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once X public data is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 28 X public data tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: connect apps to any AI agent.

ClawLink vs. building it yourself
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration wiring 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 X public data working from chat.
| Manual | ClawLink | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup flow | Collect and store the right X public data credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link X public data without custom integration screens. |
| Ongoing maintenance | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for X public data. | 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 X public data actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 28 tools for X public data are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |
ClawLink vs. Composio
Composio also exposes X public data 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 X public data in the browser, and the 28 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the X public data key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Troubleshooting
OpenClaw installed the X public data skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about X public data, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure X public data 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 X public data 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 X public data tools
X public data 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 X public data 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.
X public data 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.
The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail
Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for X public data. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles.

How do I add X public data to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink X public data skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize X public data.

Why use ClawLink instead of wiring X public data up myself?
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration wiring 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 X public data working from chat.
