Introduction

OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Apaleo with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Apaleo via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

  • Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
  • Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
  • Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 850+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

How to install Apaleo with OpenClaw

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

Copy the setup prompt from the OpenClaw dashboard
  • Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
  • Authenticate Apaleo from the dashboard
  • Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.

Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin

1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin

bash
openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin

2. Copy the API Key from dashboard.composio.dev

3. Setup OpenClaw Config

openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"

4. Restart OpenClaw

openclaw gateway restart

5. Go to your chat interface and start asking questions.

6. When prompted, authenticate the app and you're all set.

How It Works

The plugin connects to Composio's MCP server at https://connect.composio.dev/mcp and registers all available tools directly into the OpenClaw agent. Tools are called by name — no extra search or execute steps needed.

If a tool returns an auth error, the agent will prompt you to connect that toolkit at dashboard.composio.dev.

What is the Apaleo MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Apaleo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apaleo account. It provides structured and secure access to your property management operations, so your agent can perform actions like managing properties, handling units, checking availability, and automating setup tasks on your behalf.

  • Property management and archiving: Enable your agent to create, clone, or archive properties, letting you quickly scale or reorganize your portfolio as your business evolves.
  • Unit and unit group operations: Let your agent create new units or unit groups, check if specific units exist, and manage all aspects of your inventory with ease.
  • Attribute and setup automation: Ask your agent to create or verify unit attributes, ensuring your property data is always up-to-date and consistent.
  • Bulk unit creation: Allow your agent to generate multiple units in one go, following custom naming rules, to save you time during onboarding or expansion.
  • Property cloning and rapid deployment: Have your agent clone existing properties with all inventory and rate plans, making it simple to launch new locations based on proven setups.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Apaleo with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Apaleo directly from your terminal, Web UI, or any messenger app using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

  • Seamless integration across TUI, Web UIs, and Messenger apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
  • Natural language commands for Apaleo operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 850+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Apaleo operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits like Calendar, Slack, Notion, etc.
  • Build complex automation scripts that leverage OpenClaw's 24/7 running capabilities

How to build Apaleo MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Apaleo MCP?

With a standalone Apaleo MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Apaleo tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Apaleo and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenClaw?

Yes, you can. OpenClaw fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Apaleo tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Apaleo while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Apaleo scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Apaleo data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
