How to integrate Canvas MCP with OpenClaw

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 Canvas with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Canvas via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

Introduction

Also integrate Canvas with

OpenAI Agents SDK Claude Agent SDK Claude Code Claude Cowork Codex Hermes CLI Google ADK LangChain Vercel AI SDK Mastra AI LlamaIndex CrewAI

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 Canvas with OpenClaw

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

Go to dashboard.composio.dev
Copy the setup prompt

Copy the setup prompt from the OpenClaw dashboard

Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
Authenticate Canvas 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.

Configuration

bash

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Option	Description	Default
`enabled`	Enable or disable the plugin	`true`
`consumerKey`	Your Composio consumer key (`ck_...`)	—
`mcpUrl`	MCP server URL (advanced)	`https://connect.composio.dev/mcp`

What is the Canvas MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Canvas MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Canvas account. It provides structured and secure access to your courses, assignments, and communications, so your agent can perform actions like creating assignments, posting announcements, sending messages, managing course events, and sharing content on your behalf.

Automated assignment management: Have your agent create new assignments or adjust assignment dates and overrides for students, groups, or sections in any of your courses.
Course communication and collaboration: Let the agent send messages, start new conversations, or post entries in discussions to keep classes engaged and informed.
Calendar and event scheduling: Easily instruct your agent to schedule or update course calendar events and appointment groups, including specific recurrence and blackout dates.
Content and notification sharing: Ask your agent to share learning materials, send content to selected users, or create global notifications for everyone in an account.
User channel and course creation: Enable your agent to add new communication channels for users or spin up brand new courses with custom configurations, all through secure automation.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Canvas with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Canvas directly from your terminal, Web UI, or any messenger app using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

Seamless integration across TUI, Web UIs, and Messenger apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
Natural language commands for Canvas operations
Managed authentication through Composio
Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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

Start with Canvas.It takes 30 seconds.

GET STARTED FOR FREE BOOK A DEMO

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.

Harsha Gaddipati

Co-founder, Slashy

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

Abhi Arya

Co-founder, Opennote

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

Nirman Dave

CEO, Zams

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Ryan Yu

Founder, Extra Thursday

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.

Tomisin Jenrola

Founder & CEO, SwarmZero

With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
