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 Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Bannerbear MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bannerbear account. It provides structured and secure access to your Bannerbear workspace, so your agent can generate images, create videos, manage templates, merge PDFs, and retrieve creative assets on your behalf.

  • Automated image and video generation: Enable your agent to create customized graphics or videos at scale using your Bannerbear templates and project assets.
  • Template browsing and management: Let your agent list, inspect, and select templates or template sets for creative projects, making it easy to automate content workflows.
  • Font and asset discovery: Have your agent retrieve available fonts and signed bases, ensuring the right design elements are used for every creative output.
  • PDF merging automation: Direct your agent to combine multiple PDFs into a single document, streamlining report or collateral creation.
  • Account and usage monitoring: Allow your agent to fetch current account status, API usage, and quota information to keep your creative operations running smoothly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Bannerbear MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Bannerbear tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Bannerbear and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Bannerbear tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Bannerbear 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.

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 Bannerbear data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
