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 Encodian with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Encodian 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 Encodian 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 Encodian 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 Encodian MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Encodian MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Encodian account. It provides structured and secure access to your Encodian document automation suite, so your agent can perform actions like managing files, processing PDFs, encoding or decoding content, and automating workflow tasks on your behalf.

  • File management and property retrieval: Quickly get detailed information about files, move documents between containers, and keep your Microsoft 365 storage organized automatically.
  • Document processing and automation: Direct your agent to add headers and footers to PDFs, extract PDF metadata, or resize images for seamless document formatting and compliance tasks.
  • Base64 content conversion: Effortlessly encode text or files to Base64, or decode Base64 strings back to usable files for secure data exchange and workflow integration.
  • Archive extraction and manipulation: Unzip files and retrieve their contents, making it easy to automate bulk document handling or trigger downstream processing steps.
  • Data integrity and comparison tools: Use hashing and text comparison utilities to verify file integrity, detect changes, or ensure consistency across your documents and workflows.

FAQ

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

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

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

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