Install ClawLink
Three ways to set up ClawLink: the agent-agnostic CLI, the Hermes plugin, or the OpenClaw plugin
ClawLink supports three setup paths. They all end in the same place — a paired device and a dashboard where you connect apps — so pick whichever matches how you work.
| Path | Use it when |
|---|---|
Agents (@useclawlink/cli) | You use any agent, or more than one. This is the agent-agnostic route and the one most people want. |
| Hermes | You run Hermes and want the plugin wired into it directly. |
| OpenClaw | You run OpenClaw and want the ClawHub plugin. |
Before you start, create an account at claw-link.dev. New accounts get a 7-day free trial and the first app is included, no card required.
Pick your path
Works with any agent. The CLI logs in once and exposes ClawLink to whatever you are running — run it yourself, or paste it wherever you chat with your agent.

Ask your agent to use your first app.After setup
Whichever path you used, the rest is the same:
Connect an app
In the dashboard, open Connections → Add connection, pick the app, and complete the hosted flow. See Connecting accounts.
Check it worked
Ask your agent to do something small with the app — read the latest email, list a few issues. Request logs show every call.
