Claude Connect

Connect Claude to Clawdbot instantly and keep it connected 24/7. Run after setup to link your subscription, then auto-refreshes tokens forever.

Connect your Claude subscription to Clawdbot in one step.

Automatically:

• ✅ Reads Claude OAuth tokens from Keychain
• ✅ Writes them to Clawdbot in proper OAuth format
• ✅ Auto-refreshes every 2 hours (before expiry)
• ✅ Notifies you on success/failure
• ✅ Works with clawdbot onboard (fixes OAuth auth-profiles bug)

---

Quick Start

1. Install the skill:

bash

clawdhub install claude-connect
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect

2. Ensure Claude CLI is logged in:

bash

claude auth
# Follow the browser login flow

3. Run installer:

bash

./install.sh

That's it! Tokens will refresh automatically every 2 hours.

What It Does

Fixes clawdbot onboard OAuth Bug

When you run clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli, it sometimes doesn't properly write OAuth tokens to auth-profiles.json.

This skill:

1. Reads OAuth tokens from macOS Keychain (where Claude CLI stores them)
2. Writes them to ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json in proper OAuth format:

   json

   {
     "profiles": {
       "anthropic:claude-cli": {
         "type": "oauth",
         "provider": "anthropic",
         "access": "sk-ant-...",
         "refresh": "sk-ant-ort...",
         "expires": 1234567890
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Sets up auto-refresh (runs every 2 hours via launchd)
4. Keeps your connection alive 24/7

---

Installation

Automatic (Recommended)

bash

cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./install.sh

The installer will:

• ✅ Verify Claude CLI is set up
• ✅ Create config file
• ✅ Set up auto-refresh job (launchd)
• ✅ Run first refresh to test

Manual

1. Copy example config:

   bash

   cp claude-oauth-refresh-config.example.json claude-oauth-refresh-config.json
   

2. Edit config (optional):

   bash

   nano claude-oauth-refresh-config.json
   

3. Test refresh:

   bash

   ./refresh-token.sh --force
   

4. Install launchd job (optional - for auto-refresh):

   bash

   cp com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
   launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
   

---

Configuration

Edit claude-oauth-refresh-config.json:

json

{
  "refresh_buffer_minutes": 30,
  "log_file": "~/clawd/logs/claude-oauth-refresh.log",
  "notifications": {
    "on_success": true,
    "on_failure": true
  },
  "notification_target": "YOUR_CHAT_ID"
}

Options:

• refresh_buffer_minutes: Refresh when token has this many minutes left (default: 30)
• log_file: Where to log refresh activity
• notifications.on_success: Notify on successful refresh (default: true)
• notifications.on_failure: Notify on failure (default: true)
• notification_target: Your Telegram chat ID (or leave empty to disable)

---

Usage

Manual Refresh

bash

# Refresh now (even if not expired)
./refresh-token.sh --force

# Refresh only if needed
./refresh-token.sh

Check Status

bash

# View recent logs
tail ~/clawd/logs/claude-oauth-refresh.log

# Check auth profile
cat ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json | jq '.profiles."anthropic:claude-cli"'

# Check Clawdbot status
clawdbot models status

Disable Notifications

Ask Clawdbot:

text

Disable Claude refresh success notifications

Or edit config:

json

{
  "notifications": {
    "on_success": false,
    "on_failure": true
  }
}

How It Works

Refresh Process

1. Read from Keychain: Gets OAuth tokens from Claude Code-credentials
2. Check Expiry: Only refreshes if < 30 minutes left (or --force)
3. Call OAuth API: Gets new access + refresh tokens
4. Update auth-profiles.json: Writes proper OAuth format
5. Update Keychain: Syncs new tokens back
6. Restart Gateway: Picks up new tokens
7. Notify: Sends success/failure message (optional)

Auto-Refresh (launchd)

Runs every 2 hours via ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist

Controls:

bash

# Stop auto-refresh
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist

# Start auto-refresh
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist

# Check if running
launchctl list | grep claude

Troubleshooting

OAuth not working after onboard

Symptom: clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli completes but Clawdbot can't use tokens

Fix:

bash

cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./refresh-token.sh --force

This will write tokens in proper OAuth format.

Tokens keep expiring

Symptom: Auth keeps failing after 8 hours

Fix: Ensure launchd job is running:

bash

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
launchctl list | grep claude

No tokens in Keychain

Symptom: No 'Claude Code-credentials' entries found

Fix: Log in with Claude CLI:

bash

claude auth
# Follow browser flow

Then run refresh again:

bash

./refresh-token.sh --force

---

Uninstall

bash

cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./uninstall.sh

Or manually:

bash

# Stop auto-refresh
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist

# Remove skill
rm -rf ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect

---

Upgrade

If you previously installed an older version:

bash

cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./validate-update.sh  # Check what changed
clawdhub update claude-connect  # Update to latest
./install.sh  # Re-run installer if needed
