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

## Also integrate Smugmug with

## 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.

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

The Smugmug MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Smugmug account. It provides structured and secure access to your photo galleries and user profile, so your agent can perform actions like browsing folders, listing albums, retrieving photo details, and exploring your Smugmug structure on your behalf.
- Retrieve folder and album details: Instantly fetch information about specific folders or albums, including creation dates, node IDs, and highlight albums.
- Explore your Smugmug hierarchy: Ask your agent to list all child nodes—albums or folders—within any parent node, helping you navigate your photo organization with ease.
- List albums in any folder: Let your agent pull comprehensive lists of albums within a designated folder, even handling large collections with pagination.
- Get public user profile info: Retrieve your Smugmug public profile details to share or review your online photography presence.
- Access node-specific data: Have your agent look up details for any node (album, folder, or page) using its unique identifier, supporting granular photo management and discovery.

## Supported Tools

|---|---|---|
| `SMUGMUG_GET_ALBUM` | Get Album | Retrieves detailed information about a SmugMug album using its album key. Returns album settings, metadata, image count, and links to related resources like images and user info. Use this to get comprehensive details about a specific album/gallery. |
| `SMUGMUG_GET_ALBUM_HIGHLIGHT_IMAGE` | Get Album Highlight Image | Retrieves the highlight/cover image for a SmugMug album. Returns detailed information about the album's cover image including dimensions, URLs, and metadata. Use this when you need to get the featured image for an album. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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