However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Zoho with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Zoho via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Zoho with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Zoho to OpenClaw ### How to install Zoho with OpenClaw ### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt - Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt) - Copy the setup prompt - Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface. - Authenticate Zoho from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate) - 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 ``` ## What is the Zoho MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zoho MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zoho account. It provides structured and secure access to your Zoho CRM data, so your agent can perform actions like creating leads, updating records, tagging entries, and managing relationships between your contacts and accounts automatically. - Automated lead conversion: Instantly convert Zoho CRM leads into contacts, accounts, and even deals without manual effort. - Effortless CRM record creation: Direct your agent to add new records to any Zoho CRM module—like leads, contacts, or deals—in seconds. - Bulk record retrieval and updates: Let your agent fetch lists of records or update details across multiple modules to keep your CRM up to date. - Tag and organize CRM data: Have your agent create and apply new tags for streamlined segmentation and easier tracking of customers or activities. - Manage cross-module relationships: Enable your agent to associate or update related records between contacts, accounts, and other CRM modules for richer data connections. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZOHO_CONVERT_ZOHO_LEAD` | Convert Zoho CRM Lead | Converts a lead into a contact, account, and optionally a deal in zoho crm. | | `ZOHO_CREATE_ZOHO_RECORD` | Create Zoho CRM Record | Creates new records in a specified module in zoho crm. | | `ZOHO_CREATE_ZOHO_TAG` | Create Zoho CRM Tag | Creates new tags in zoho crm. | | `ZOHO_GET_ZOHO_RECORDS` | Get Zoho CRM Records | Retrieves records from a specified module in zoho crm. | | `ZOHO_UPDATE_RELATED_RECORDS` | Update Related Records in Zoho CRM | Associates or updates relationships between records across different modules in zoho crm. | | `ZOHO_UPDATE_ZOHO_RECORD` | Update Zoho CRM Record | Updates existing records in a specified module in zoho crm. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Zoho MCP server provides comprehensive access to Zoho operations through Composio.

With a standalone Zoho MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Zoho tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Zoho 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 Zoho tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zoho while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Zoho 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 Zoho data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
