However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Ashby with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Ashby via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Ashby with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby/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 Ashby to OpenClaw ### How to install Ashby 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 Ashby 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 Ashby MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ashby MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ashby account. It provides structured and secure access to your recruiting data, so your agent can perform actions like managing job postings, tracking candidate progress, scheduling interviews, and generating hiring reports on your behalf. - Automated job posting management: Easily create, update, or close job listings across your organization with direct agent assistance. - Candidate pipeline tracking: Have your agent fetch, organize, and update candidate progress through every stage of the hiring process. - Interview scheduling and coordination: Let your agent schedule interviews, send calendar invites, and manage interviewer assignments to streamline the process. - Data-driven hiring analytics: Generate reports and insights about your hiring funnel, candidate sources, and time-to-hire with a simple agent request. - Centralized communication with applicants: Enable your agent to send status updates, feedback, or reminders to candidates, keeping everyone in the loop automatically. ## Supported Tools None listed. ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ashby MCP server provides comprehensive access to Ashby operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Ashby actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Ashby with OpenClaw using Composio plugin.

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