However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Espocrm with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Espocrm via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Espocrm with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/espocrm/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 Espocrm to OpenClaw ### How to install Espocrm 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 Espocrm 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 Espocrm MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Espocrm MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Espocrm account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving user profiles, accessing system configuration, and managing user preferences on your behalf. - Retrieve current session user details: Allow your agent to securely fetch information about the logged-in user, including access tokens, roles, and preferences for personalized automation. - Access EspoCRM system metadata: Instantly pull system configuration, user details, permissions, and translation data to help your agent understand and navigate your CRM environment. - Automate user-specific tasks: Enable your agent to tailor workflows and responses based on the authenticated user’s profile and preferences. - Discover CRM capabilities programmatically: Let your agent analyze available modules, user permissions, and ACL settings to ensure actions are compliant and context-aware. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ESPOCRM_GET_APP_USER` | Get App User | Tool to retrieve current user data including token, ACL, and preferences. Use after successful authentication to fetch session-specific profile. | | `ESPOCRM_GET_METADATA` | Get Metadata | Test connectivity to the Docparser API by calling the ping endpoint. Use this tool to verify that your API credentials are valid and the service is reachable. Returns a simple 'pong' message on success. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Espocrm MCP server provides comprehensive access to Espocrm operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Espocrm actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Espocrm with OpenClaw using Composio plugin.

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