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 Shipengine with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Shipengine via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

How to integrate Shipengine MCP with OpenClaw
Connect OpenClaw to Shipengine MCP. Generate shipping label for new order, track status of outgoing packages, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Api Key
ShipEngine is a shipping API that connects with multiple carriers to manage shipments, labels, and tracking. Streamline your shipping process and reduce manual effort with one unified tool.

Introduction

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.
How to install Shipengine with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Shipengine 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-plugin2. Copy the API Key from dashboard.composio.dev
3. Setup OpenClaw Config
bash
openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"4. Restart OpenClaw
bash
openclaw gateway restart5. 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.
Configuration
bash
{
"plugins": {
"entries": {
"composio": {
"enabled": true,
"config": {
"consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
}| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
enabled | Enable or disable the plugin | true |
consumerKey | Your Composio consumer key (ck_...) | — |
mcpUrl | MCP server URL (advanced) | https://connect.composio.dev/mcp |
What is the Shipengine MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Shipengine MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Shipengine account. It provides structured and secure access to your shipping operations, so your agent can perform actions like generating shipping labels, tracking packages, validating addresses, and managing carrier integrations on your behalf.
- Automated label creation and management: Instantly generate, purchase, and void shipping labels across multiple carriers, letting your agent streamline fulfillment without manual entry.
- Real-time package tracking: Ask your agent to track shipments by carrier or tracking number to get up-to-date delivery statuses and shipment histories.
- Address validation and correction: Have your agent validate and standardize shipment addresses to prevent delivery errors and reduce returns.
- Carrier rate comparison: Enable your agent to fetch and compare real-time shipping rates from all connected carriers, helping you save on delivery costs.
- Shipping manifest and batch processing: Let your agent generate manifests or process batches of shipments in a single command, making high-volume shipping fast and efficient.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Shipengine with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Shipengine 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 Shipengine 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 Shipengine 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

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
With a standalone Shipengine MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Shipengine tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Shipengine and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
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 Shipengine tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Shipengine 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.
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 Shipengine data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
