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 Gmail with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Gmail 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 1500+ 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 Gmail with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Gmail 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-plugin2. 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 restart5. 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.
Configuration
bash
{
"plugins": {
"entries": {
"composio": {
"enabled": true,
"config": {
"consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"

What is the Gmail MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Gmail MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gmail account. It provides structured and secure access to your email, drafts, attachments, labels, and contacts, so your agent can read messages, send emails, manage drafts, organize your inbox, and handle conversations on your behalf.
- Email search and reading: Instruct your agent to find emails using filters, read complete messages, and retrieve specific attachments.
- Drafting and sending: Have your agent create, update, review, send, or delete drafts, and send new emails from your Gmail account.
- Replies and conversation management: Let the agent reply within existing email threads and move conversations to or from the trash.
- Inbox and label organization: Direct your agent to modify labels across multiple messages and update the properties of existing Gmail labels.
- Contact and account lookup: Have your agent search contacts by personal or workplace details and identify the connected Gmail account.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Gmail with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Gmail directly from your terminal, Web UI, or any messenger app using natural language commands.
Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across TUI, Web UIs, and Messenger apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
- Natural language commands for Gmail operations

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Gmail MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Gmail tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Gmail and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
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 Gmail tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Gmail 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.
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 Gmail data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
