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 Benzinga with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Benzinga 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 1500+ 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 Benzinga 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 Benzinga 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 Benzinga MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Benzinga MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Benzinga account. It provides structured and secure access to earnings calendars, financial news, analyst ratings, consensus ratings, and price targets, so your agent can monitor earnings events, follow market news, review analyst actions, compare consensus ratings, and track price target changes on your behalf.

  • Earnings calendar monitoring: Have your agent retrieve upcoming and reported earnings events or subscribe to earnings calendar updates in real time.
  • Real-time financial news: Let the agent connect to Benzinga's live newsfeed and follow market-moving stories as they arrive.
  • Analyst rating research: Direct your agent to fetch analyst upgrades, downgrades, initiations, and other rating changes for your market research.
  • Consensus rating analysis: Instruct your agent to retrieve aggregated analyst consensus ratings for a stock ticker.
  • Price target tracking: Have your agent check consensus price targets and individual analyst price target changes for selected stocks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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