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 Square with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Square 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 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 Square 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 Square 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

bash
openclaw config set plugins.entries.composio.config.consumerKey "ck_your_key_here"

4. Restart OpenClaw

bash
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 Square MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Square MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Square account. It provides structured and secure access to your Square business tools, so your agent can perform actions like processing payments, managing invoices, tracking orders, handling customers, and managing inventory on your behalf.

  • Seamless payment processing: Let your agent accept card payments, issue refunds, and manage transactions across your business locations.
  • Automated invoice creation and management: Ask your agent to generate, send, and monitor invoices for your customers, streamlining your billing process.
  • Order and fulfillment tracking: Enable your agent to view, update, and manage orders, helping you keep tabs on fulfillment and delivery status with ease.
  • Customer profile management: Have your agent create, update, or search customer profiles, making it easier to personalize service and maintain up-to-date records.
  • Inventory and item catalog control: Allow your agent to track stock levels, update item details, and organize your catalog for smooth retail operations.

FAQ

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

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

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

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