## 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 Pdf co with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Pdf co 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 Pdf co to OpenClaw

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

The Pdf co MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pdf co account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF.co capabilities, so your agent can extract data, generate documents, convert files, process barcodes, and manage asynchronous jobs on your behalf.
- Automated PDF data extraction and parsing: Let your agent extract structured data from PDFs using templates or parse documents for key information—perfect for receipts, invoices, and more.
- PDF creation, splitting, and merging: Generate new PDF files, combine multiple PDFs, or split documents into separate files without manual intervention.
- File format conversion: Seamlessly convert Excel files to CSV, HTML, JSON, text, or XML, enabling efficient data analysis and workflow automation.
- Barcode generation and processing: Instantly create various barcode formats (QR codes, Code128, PDF417, etc.) or encode data into barcodes for labeling and tracking.
- Job management and file uploads: Upload documents to PDF.co, track the status of asynchronous jobs, and retrieve results—all through your agent, hands-free.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Pdf co MCP?

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

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

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