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

### How to install Placid with OpenClaw
### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt)
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Placid from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate)
- 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
```

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

The Placid MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Placid account. It provides structured and secure access to your creative automation workspace, so your agent can perform actions like creating image templates, managing template collections, and deleting designs on your behalf.
- Template creation and customization: Instantly generate new Placid templates with defined dimensions, tags, or custom metadata—perfect for automating banners, graphics, and more.
- Template deletion and lifecycle management: Direct your agent to safely remove obsolete or unused templates by their unique IDs, keeping your workspace organized and clutter-free.
- Collection retrieval and organization: Have your agent fetch and list all template collections, making it easy to browse, search, or group creative assets programmatically.
- Automated workflow integration: Integrate template management into larger creative pipelines, allowing your agent to handle content operations without manual intervention.

## Supported Tools

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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