## 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 Maintainx with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Maintainx 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.

## Connect Maintainx to OpenClaw

### How to install Maintainx with OpenClaw
### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

### Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin
1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin

```bash
openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin
```

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

The Maintainx MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Maintainx account. It provides structured and secure access to your maintenance operations, so your agent can create work orders, update existing tasks, manage assets, and keep your teams aligned—automatically and on your behalf.
- Work order creation and management: Instantly have your agent create new work orders, add detailed descriptions, set priorities, and assign them to the right teams or users.
- Automated work order updates and comments: Let your agent update existing work orders or add comments for documentation and real-time communication between team members.
- Asset and location tracking: Effortlessly list and retrieve all assets and locations across your organization, helping you keep maintenance data organized and accessible.
- Category and team organization: Enable your agent to fetch and manage categories or teams, ensuring work orders and assets are classified and assigned correctly.
- Smart work request portals: Have your agent generate custom work request portals so stakeholders can submit maintenance requests easily and securely.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_ORDER` | Create Work Order | This tool creates a new work order in maintainx. it uses the post /api/v1/workorders endpoint. the tool requires a 'title' for the work order and offers several optional parameters including description, priority, duedate, startdate, userids, teamids, proceduretemplateid, locationid, assetid, and categories. |
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_ORDER_COMMENT` | Create Work Order Comment | This tool creates a new comment on an existing work order in maintainx. it allows users to add comments for documentation, updates, or communication purposes within a specific work order. it requires a workorderid and the text content of the comment to create a new comment on the work order, providing capabilities to update maintenance work order records. |
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_REQUEST_PORTAL` | Create Work Request Portal | Creates a new work request portal in maintainx. a work request portal allows users to submit work requests through a dedicated url. the portal can be customized with a title, welcome text, and description placeholder. it can be associated with a specific location and asset, and can be configured to require email contact information. |
| `MAINTAINX_FIND_ENTITY` | Find Entity | A tool to search and find specific entities within maintainx by specified fields. this tool allows users to search for different types of entities including work orders, users, and locations. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_ASSETS` | List Assets | This tool allows users to retrieve a list of all assets in their organization. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_CATEGORIES` | List Categories | This tool retrieves a list of all categories in your maintainx organization. categories are used to organize and classify work orders, assets, and other items in the system. it supports listing the categories with pagination and provides details such as category id, name, description, and timestamps for creation and update. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_LOCATIONS` | List Locations | This tool retrieves a list of all available locations in the organization's maintainx account. the locations can be physical places where assets are located, work is performed, or maintenance is needed. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_TEAMS` | List Teams | This tool retrieves a list of all teams in your maintainx organization. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_WORK_ORDERS` | List Work Orders | Action to list work orders from maintainx. |
| `MAINTAINX_UPDATE_WORK_ORDER` | Update Work Order | This tool allows users to update an existing work order in maintainx by modifying specific attributes without affecting other unchanged fields. it requires the workorder id and at least one of the optional parameters (title, description, or priority) to perform the update. |
| `MAINTAINX_UPDATE_WORK_ORDER_STATUS` | Update Work Order Status | This tool allows users to update the status of a specific work order in maintainx. it is focused specifically on status updates, making it more streamlined than the comprehensive 'update work order' action which allows updating multiple fields. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Maintainx MCP server provides comprehensive access to Maintainx operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Maintainx actions directly from OpenClaw using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Maintainx with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Maintainx 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 Maintainx operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Maintainx operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits like Calendar, Slack, Notion, etc.
- Build complex automation scripts that leverage OpenClaw's 24/7 running capabilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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