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 Heygen with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Heygen 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 850+ 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 Heygen 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 Heygen 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

openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"

4. Restart OpenClaw

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 Heygen MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Heygen MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Heygen account. It provides structured and secure access to your Heygen video platform, so your agent can perform actions like creating talking photos, managing video assets, personalizing video projects, and controlling streaming avatars on your behalf.

  • AI-powered video asset creation: Add new avatars, backgrounds, or other content elements directly into your Heygen library for use in video generation workflows.
  • Personalized video project management: Let your agent add contacts to personalized video projects and fetch detailed project information to streamline large-scale video personalization efforts.
  • Dynamic talking photo generation: Instantly create engaging talking photos from uploaded images, transforming static pictures into interactive, speaking content for marketing or educational use.
  • Real-time avatar streaming control: Retrieve a list of streaming avatars, generate streaming tokens, and manage live avatar sessions—including interrupting or monitoring ongoing streams for responsive, interactive experiences.
  • Audience insights and analytics: Fetch detailed audience engagement and preference data for personalized video campaigns, helping you optimize your content and targeting strategies.

FAQ

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

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

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

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