However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Docker hub with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Docker hub via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Docker hub with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/docker_hub/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 Docker hub to OpenClaw ### How to install Docker hub 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 Docker hub 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 Docker hub MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Docker hub MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Docker Hub account. It provides structured and secure access to your container repositories and organizations, so your agent can perform actions like creating repositories, managing organization members, deleting images, setting up webhooks, and cleaning up tags on your behalf. - Repository and image management: Let your agent create new Docker Hub repositories, delete existing ones, and remove specific images or tags as needed. - Organization and team automation: Easily add members to organizations, create new Docker Hub organizations, or delete organizations and teams directly from your workflows. - Webhook configuration: Set up or remove repository webhooks to automate external integrations and keep your CI/CD pipelines in sync. - Tag and resource cleanup: Direct your agent to delete outdated tags or unused resources, helping you maintain a tidy container registry. - Secure role management: Invite users with specific roles to your organizations, ensuring the right access for collaborators and teams. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `DOCKER_HUB_ADD_ORG_MEMBER` | Add Organization Member | Invite a user to join a Docker Hub organization.

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