## 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 Folk with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Folk via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

## 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.

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

The Folk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Folk account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing contacts, organizing companies, retrieving group info, and handling custom fields on your behalf.
- Contact management and retrieval: Let your agent list, fetch, or delete people in your workspace, ensuring your contact database stays relevant and up to date.
- Company and organization operations: Effortlessly create new companies, retrieve details, or remove outdated organizations from your workspace via your agent.
- Workspace group insights: Ask your agent to list workspace groups and explore available group custom fields for efficient segmentation and tracking.
- User profile and context access: Allow your agent to pull current workspace user details, making personalized automations and actions possible.
- Custom field exploration: Enable your agent to list and understand custom fields for groups and entity types, powering more tailored CRM workflows.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Folk MCP?

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

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

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