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 Pdfmonkey with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Pdfmonkey MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, or others directly to your Pdfmonkey account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF automation workflows, so your agent can generate documents from templates, download PDFs, manage templates, and retrieve document details on your behalf.

  • Automated PDF generation: Instantly create new PDF documents from pre-built templates or custom data payloads, either asynchronously or waiting for immediate results.
  • Template management and updates: Let your agent create, fetch, or delete document templates to keep your PDF generation process organized and up to date.
  • Document retrieval and monitoring: Fetch the full details of any generated document, including metadata, logs, and download links for seamless workflow integration.
  • Secure PDF file download: Easily obtain presigned URLs to access or share generated PDF files, with automatic handling of expiring links.
  • Account and usage insights: Retrieve authenticated user information, such as quota, plan, and locale, to help monitor and manage your Pdfmonkey usage directly from your agent.

FAQ

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

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

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

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