## 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 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.

## 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 Zeplin to OpenClaw

```

## 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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