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 Alchemy with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Alchemy 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 Alchemy 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 Alchemy 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

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

The Alchemy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alchemy account. It provides structured and secure access to your blockchain data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching NFT metadata, tracking token balances, analyzing transaction history, and managing Ethereum assets on your behalf.

  • Retrieve NFT contract and token metadata: Instantly access detailed information about any NFT collection or token, including name, symbol, supply, and contract deployer.
  • Analyze NFT sales and ownership: Let your agent fetch historical NFT sales across marketplaces and list current owners for any ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token.
  • Track token balances and portfolio: Effortlessly check ERC-20 token balances for any Ethereum address to monitor holdings or build portfolio analytics.
  • List NFTs within a collection: Pull a complete list of NFTs under a specific contract to explore, display, or analyze full collections.
  • Monitor transaction counts and activity: Quickly get the transaction count (nonce) for any Ethereum address to understand activity or prepare for new transactions.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get NFT Contract MetadataThis tool retrieves metadata for a given nft smart contract.
Get NFT SalesThis tool will retrieve nft sales data across various marketplaces.
Get NFTs for ContractThis tool retrieves all nfts for a given contract address.
Get NFT OwnersThis tool retrieves the owner(s) for a specific nft token, supporting both erc721 and erc1155 tokens on ethereum and several layer 2 chains such as polygon, arbitrum, optimism, and base.
Get Token BalancesThis tool retrieves erc20 token balances for a specified ethereum address.
Get Token MetadataThis tool retrieves metadata for a given token contract address, including the token's name, symbol, decimals, and logo url if available.
Get Transaction CountThis tool retrieves the number of transactions sent from a specific address (also known as the nonce).

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Alchemy with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Alchemy 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 Alchemy operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 850+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Alchemy operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits like Calendar, Slack, Notion, etc.
  • Build complex automation scripts that leverage OpenClaw's 24/7 running capabilities

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Alchemy MCP?

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

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

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