ClawLink no longer runs as one undifferentiated edge app. It has two production Cloudflare Workers that share the same database and credential store:
  • clawlink-web on claw-link.dev handles the hosted app, dashboard, pairing pages, billing routes, OAuth callbacks, and Next API routes.
  • clawlink on api.claw-link.dev handles tool execution, request routing, and scheduled backend work.
Both workers use the same D1 database and the same CREDENTIALS KV namespace, so browser flows and execution stay in sync.

Third-party APIs
1

Pairing and connect flows start on claw-link.dev

You sign in to the hosted app, approve browser pairing for OpenClaw, and connect apps from the dashboard. Hosted OAuth and provider callbacks also land here.
2

Connection sessions create or update exact connection rows

Every hosted connect flow is tied to a connection session. When setup finishes, ClawLink creates or updates the correct user_integrations row, including the stable connection id, labels, provider metadata, and default-connection state.
3

OpenClaw authenticates with its local ClawLink credential

Browser pairing stores a local ClawLink credential for the OpenClaw plugin. OpenClaw uses that credential when it asks ClawLink to list tools, preview actions, or execute a tool call.
4

The execution worker resolves the right connection

The backend worker looks up the user, finds the target integration, and resolves the right connection row. If multiple connections exist for the same provider, ClawLink uses the default connection unless the request names a specific one.
5

Credentials are decrypted only when the provider call runs

ClawLink decrypts the stored provider credential only for the live request, makes the provider API call, records the execution result, and returns the response to OpenClaw.

​
Security

Your credentials are protected at every stage:
  • Encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM — provider credentials are encrypted before storage.
  • Decrypted only at execution time — credentials are decrypted only for the live provider request.
  • OpenClaw stores only the ClawLink device credential locally — provider OAuth tokens and app credentials stay in ClawLink’s shared infrastructure.
  • Delete is row-level for connections — connection lifecycle is tied to stable connection ids, not a one-row-per-provider assumption.
Treat the locally stored ClawLink device credential like a password. If you believe it has been exposed, revoke it in Settings > API Keys and run browser pairing again.

​
Built-in reliability

ClawLink handles the reliability concerns that would otherwise fall on you:
  • Retries with exponential backoff — if a third-party API returns a transient error, ClawLink retries the request automatically, waiting longer between each attempt to avoid overwhelming the service.
  • Rate limit handling — when an API enforces rate limits, ClawLink manages the pacing so your agent’s requests go through without you having to think about it.
  • Connection-aware routing — if one provider has multiple connected accounts, ClawLink can route through the default connection instead of guessing from a single old row.
Every request — successful or not — is recorded in Usage with the integration name, action, status, and latency so you can see what OpenClaw actually did.
