However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Basecamp with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Basecamp via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Basecamp with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/opencode) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/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 Basecamp to OpenClaw ### How to install Basecamp 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 Basecamp 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 Basecamp MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Basecamp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Basecamp account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Basecamp operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools None listed. ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Basecamp MCP server provides comprehensive access to Basecamp operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Basecamp actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Basecamp with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Basecamp 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 Basecamp 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 Basecamp 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 Basecamp MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/opencode) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basecamp/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Gmail](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gmail) - Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration.

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