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 Breathe HR with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Breathe HR 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 1500+ 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 Breathe HR with OpenClaw

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

Go to dashboard.composio.dev
Copy the setup prompt

Copy the setup prompt from the OpenClaw dashboard

Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
Authenticate Breathe HR 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

bash

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

4. Restart OpenClaw

bash

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.

Configuration

bash

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

`enabled`	Enable or disable the plugin	`true`
`consumerKey`	Your Composio consumer key (`ck_...`)	—
`mcpUrl`	MCP server URL (advanced)	`https://connect.composio.dev/mcp`

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

The Breathe HR MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Breathe HR account. It provides structured and secure access to employee records, departments, absences, leave requests, expenses, and salaries, so your agent can create employees, review HR information, track absences, manage leave approvals, and record expenses on your behalf.

Employee record management: Have your agent create new employee records, list your workforce, or retrieve detailed information about a specific employee.
Absence and leave tracking: Instruct your agent to review absences and leave requests by date, employee, department, or absence type.
Leave request approvals: Direct your agent to approve pending employee leave requests in Breathe HR.
Expense administration: Let the agent create employee expense records and review expenses already submitted.
Department and salary visibility: Have your agent list company departments and review employee salary information.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Breathe HR tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Breathe HR 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.

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 Breathe HR data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
