Using Danube Tools

All your tools. None of your passwords. Connect to Gmail, GitHub, Notion, Google Calendar, and more through Danube's MCP integration.

Setup: If not configured yet, run bash scripts/setup.sh to add Danube MCP to OpenClaw.

When to Use

Use Danube when users want to:

• Send emails, create issues, manage calendars
• Interact with cloud services (GitHub, Notion, Google Drive)
• Execute any external API action

Don't use for: Local file operations, calculations, or non-API tasks.

Core Workflow

Every tool interaction follows this pattern:

1. Search for Tools

Use search_tools() with natural language:

search_tools("send email")        # → Gmail, Outlook
search_tools("create github issue") # → GitHub - Create Issue
search_tools("calendar events")   # → Google Calendar

2. Check Authentication

If tool requires credentials, guide user to connect:

"To use Gmail, you need to connect your account first.

Visit: https://danubeai.com/dashboard
1. Go to Tools section
2. Find Gmail and click 'Connect'
3. Follow the OAuth flow

Let me know when you're ready!"

Always check auth BEFORE attempting execution.

3. Gather Parameters

Ask for missing required parameters:

User: "Send an email"
You: "I can help! I need:
     - Who should I send it to?
     - What's the subject?
     - What should the message say?"

4. Execute Tool

execute_tool(
  tool_id="gmail-send-email-uuid",
  parameters={
    "to": "user@example.com",
    "subject": "Meeting",
    "body": "Confirming our 2pm meeting."
  }
)

5. Handle Response

Success:

"✅ Email sent successfully to user@example.com!"

Auth Error:

"🔐 Authentication failed. Reconnect Gmail at:
https://danubeai.com/dashboard → Tools → Gmail"

Other Error:

"⚠️ Failed: [error]. Let me help troubleshoot..."

Common Patterns

Email Tools

User: "Email john@example.com about the project"

1. search_tools("send email") → Find Gmail
2. Check Gmail authentication
3. Extract: to="john@example.com", subject="Project"
4. Ask: "What should the message say?"
5. Confirm: "I'll send email to john@example.com. Proceed?"
6. execute_tool()
7. Report: "✅ Email sent!"

GitHub Tools

User: "Create issue about the login bug"

1. search_tools("github create issue")
2. Check GitHub authentication
3. Ask: "Which repository?"
4. Ask: "Describe the bug?"
5. execute_tool()
6. Report: "✅ Issue created: [link]"

Calendar Tools

User: "What's on my calendar today?"

1. search_tools("calendar events")
2. Check authentication
3. execute_tool(date=today)
4. Format results:
   "Here's your schedule:
   • 9:00 AM - Team standup
   • 2:00 PM - Client meeting"

Best Practices

✅ Do:

• Search first - Always use search_tools(), don't assume tool IDs
• Check auth - Verify credentials before execution
• Confirm actions - Get user approval for emails, issues, etc.
• Be specific - "Email sent to john@example.com" not just "Done"
• Handle errors - Provide solutions, not just error messages

❌ Don't:

• Assume tool IDs without searching
• Auto-execute without confirmation
• Give vague responses like "Error" or "Done"
• Skip authentication checks

Available Tools

Error Handling

Authentication (401):

"🔐 [Service] requires authentication.

• [param2]: [description]"

Rate Limit:

"⚠️ Hit rate limit for [Service].
• Try again in a few minutes
• Use alternative service

Multi-Step Workflows

Some tasks need multiple tools:

User: "Email me a summary of today's GitHub commits"

1. search_tools("github commits") → Get tool
2. execute_tool() → Fetch commits
3. Format into summary
4. search_tools("send email") → Get Gmail
5. execute_tool() → Send email
6. Report: "✅ Sent summary of 5 commits!"
