However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Gladia with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Gladia via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Gladia with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gladia/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 Gladia to OpenClaw ### How to install Gladia 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 Gladia 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 Gladia MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Gladia MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gladia account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced audio transcription and intelligence services, so your agent can perform actions like uploading audio, transcribing recordings, retrieving live transcription results, and organizing jobs on your behalf. - Real-time and asynchronous transcription: Instantly start live or pre-recorded transcription jobs for audio and video files, letting your agent process spoken content with ease. - Audio and video file uploads: Seamlessly upload audio or video files to Gladia's servers as a first step before transcription or analysis. - Fetch detailed transcription results: Retrieve comprehensive results and metadata from both live and pre-recorded transcription sessions, including job status and transcribed text. - Job management and status tracking: List, filter, and monitor all your live and pre-recorded transcription jobs so your agent can keep tabs on ongoing or completed work. - Effortless workflow automation: Combine audio file handling, job initiation, and result retrieval into streamlined, agent-driven automations—saving you time and manual effort. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GLADIA_DELETE_LIVE_SESSION` | Delete Live Session | Tool to delete a live transcription session and all its associated data (audio file, transcription). Use when permanently removing a live session from Gladia. | | `GLADIA_DELETE_PRE_RECORDED_JOB` | Delete Pre-recorded Job | Tool to delete a pre-recorded transcription job and all its associated data (audio file, transcription). Use when permanently removing a transcription job from Gladia. | | `GLADIA_GET_LIVE_TRANSCRIPTION_RESULT` | Get live transcription result | Tool to retrieve metadata and results of a live transcription job. Use when you need detailed status or results for a specific live transcription session. | | `GLADIA_GET_PRE_RECORDED_JOB` | Get Pre-recorded Job | Tool to retrieve a pre-recorded transcription job's metadata, status, and results by ID.

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