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 Cardly with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Cardly 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 1000+ 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 Cardly 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 Cardly 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.

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

The Cardly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cardly account. It provides structured and secure access to your Cardly workspace, so your agent can create contact lists, generate card previews, manage invitations, and access artwork or credit history for seamless customer engagement tasks.

  • Automated contact list creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to set up new contact lists or manage existing ones, streamlining outreach campaigns and personalized mailings.
  • Card preview generation and artwork browsing: Let your agent generate watermarked card previews and browse available artwork to help you select the right designs before sending mailers.
  • Real-time credit and gift history access: Ask your agent to fetch your credit or gift credit history so you always know your account status and can track usage or plan new campaigns.
  • Invitation and webhook management: Direct your agent to handle invitations—listing, deleting, or auditing user invites—or manage webhooks for seamless integration with other systems.
  • Font and design asset exploration: Have your agent list available fonts and artwork, making it easier to choose creative assets for your next customer engagement initiative.

FAQ

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

With a standalone Cardly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Cardly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Cardly 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 Cardly tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Cardly 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 Cardly data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
