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

The Better stack MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Better Stack account. It provides structured and secure access to your monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving uptime metrics, managing escalation policies, checking heartbeat statuses, and organizing log sources on your behalf.

  • Monitor health checks and availability: Let your agent fetch uptime percentages, availability summaries, and incident details for any monitor in your stack.
  • Automated escalation policy management: Instruct your agent to create or delete escalation policies, keeping your incident response workflows up-to-date without manual effort.
  • Heartbeat tracking and organization: Have your agent fetch specific heartbeat data, check heartbeat availability, or group related heartbeats for easier monitoring.
  • Log source grouping and management: Enable your agent to create or delete source groups, helping you organize log streams and maintain a tidy observability structure.
  • Webhook integration setup: Direct your agent to register outgoing webhooks so your stack can notify external systems of important events automatically.

How to build Better stack MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Better stack MCP?

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

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

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