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 Connecteam with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Connecteam 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 850+ 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 Connecteam with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

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 ā 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 Connecteam MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Connecteam MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Connecteam account. It provides structured and secure access to your workforce management data, so your agent can perform actions like managing users, retrieving chats, processing forms, handling jobs, and analyzing performance metrics on your behalf.
- User management and automation: Quickly add new employees, archive inactive users, or update user details to keep your workforce roster up to date.
- Team communications monitoring: Retrieve chat conversations and team channels, making it easy for your agent to help you stay on top of internal messages and updates.
- Form and workflow processing: List and review all existing forms, so your agent can help automate routine HR tasks and data collection.
- Job and scheduling insights: Access job objects tied to your schedules or time clocks, letting your agent assist with workforce planning and role assignments.
- Performance and policy analytics: Fetch performance indicators and available time-off policy types, enabling your agent to surface key metrics and streamline HR policy management.
