Datawrapper

Datawrapper is a tool for creating charts, maps and tables that look good on any website, used by newsrooms around the world.

This plugin lets your AI assistant build, update and publish Datawrapper charts for you, right from a chat.

Status: early and experimental. This ClawHub listing is under active development and behavior can change between releases. See the known issue below before assuming "enabled" in the Control UI means the server is actually running.

What you need

  • A Datawrapper account
  • An API token from Settings > API Tokens in your Datawrapper account
  • uv installed, with uvx on PATH, before you install this plugin — if it's missing, the server currently fails with a generic "Connection closed" error instead of a clear one

Configuration

After installing the plugin in the Control UI:

  1. Go to Settings > Secrets and add a new entry named DATAWRAPPER_ACCESS_TOKEN with your API token as the value
  2. Restart the gateway when prompted
  3. Run openclaw doctor --fix to confirm the server actually started — see the known issue below before assuming "enabled" means it's running

Known issue: may not load on restart

This plugin only declares a static mcpServers entry, which can get silently excluded from OpenClaw's gateway startup plan (openclaw/openclaw#117243). If openclaw doctor --fix shows the server isn't running, use the manual mcp.servers configuration in INSTALLATION.md instead, which bypasses the plugin loader and isn't affected.
