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 Zeplin with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Zeplin 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 Zeplin with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev/composio/~/connect/clients/openclaw
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Zeplin from the dashboard
- Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.
Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin
1. Install OpenClaw Composio 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 Zeplin MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Zeplin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zeplin account. It provides structured and secure access to your Zeplin workspace, so your agent can perform actions like listing projects, fetching screens, exporting assets, managing components, and collaborating with your design team on your behalf.
- Project and styleguide management: Let your agent list, fetch, or organize your Zeplin projects and associated styleguides for faster design handoff and reference.
- Screen and asset retrieval: Automatically pull screen details, preview images, or export assets from any project directly into your workflow, no copy-paste required.
- Component library access: Have your agent fetch, list, or update components from your shared libraries to keep your design system in sync.
- Commenting and collaboration: Enable your agent to read, create, or manage comments on screens or components, streamlining feedback and design review cycles.
- Resource linking and metadata extraction: Allow your agent to extract, organize, or provide direct links to design resources and metadata, making documentation and developer handoff seamless.
