However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Apilio with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Apilio via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Apilio with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### 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 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Apilio to OpenClaw ### How to install Apilio with OpenClaw ### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt - Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt) - Copy the setup prompt - Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface. - Authenticate Apilio from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate) - 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 ``` ## What is the Apilio MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Apilio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apilio account. It provides structured and secure access to your smart home variables, conditions, and automations, so your agent can perform actions like checking device states, evaluating logic, and managing automation variables on your behalf. - Monitor boolean device states: Instantly fetch and review all your boolean variables, so your agent can check if devices are on or off, active or inactive. - Track and evaluate automation conditions: Have your agent list and assess all available Apilio conditions, making it easy to troubleshoot or optimize home automation rules. - Access and analyze logicblocks: Let your agent retrieve your logicblocks to understand, manage, or trigger complex automations across your connected devices and services. - Review numeric variable values: Enable your agent to pull all numeric variables—like temperature, humidity, or energy usage—for smarter, context-aware automation decisions. - Manage string variables for messaging and triggers: Allow your agent to fetch and utilize string variables, supporting scenarios like status messages, custom notifications, or dynamic automation triggers. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `APILIO_GET_BOOLEAN_VARIABLES` | Get Boolean Variables | Tool to fetch all boolean variables. use when you need the full list of boolean variables and their current states. | | `APILIO_GET_CONDITIONS` | Get Conditions | Tool to fetch all evaluatable conditions. use when you need to list available conditions. | | `APILIO_GET_LOGICBLOCKS` | Get Logicblocks | Tool to fetch all logicblocks of a user. use after authenticating with apilio api when you need to list available logicblocks. | | `APILIO_GET_NUMERIC_VARIABLES` | Get Numeric Variables | Tool to fetch all numeric variables. use after authenticating the apilio api. | | `APILIO_GET_STRING_VARIABLES` | Get String Variables | Tool to fetch all string variables. use after authenticating the apilio api. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Apilio MCP server provides comprehensive access to Apilio operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Apilio actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Apilio with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Apilio 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 Apilio operations - Managed authentication through Composio - Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows - Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining Next steps: - Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Apilio 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 Apilio MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apilio/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Basin](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin) - Basin is a no-code form backend for quickly setting up reliable contact forms.

With a standalone Apilio MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Apilio tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Apilio 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 Apilio tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Apilio while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Apilio 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 Apilio data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
