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

The Bitbucket MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bitbucket account. It provides structured and secure access to your repositories, issues, and pull requests, so your agent can create branches, manage issues, review code, and handle repository operations for you.

  • Branch and repository management: Let your agent create new branches for feature work or initialize fresh repositories within your Bitbucket workspace—no manual setup required.
  • Automated issue tracking: Have your agent create, comment on, or delete issues to streamline team collaboration and bug tracking directly from your workflows.
  • Pull request automation: Empower your agent to open new pull requests for code review, ensuring changes are properly tracked and integrated.
  • File and snippet operations: Ask your agent to fetch specific files from any branch or commit, or to post comments on code snippets for contextual discussions.
  • User profile and workspace insights: Retrieve your Bitbucket user profile details on demand, making it easy to personalize and audit agent-driven actions.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Create a branchCreates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.
Create an issueCreates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Create an issue commentAdds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
Create a pull requestCreates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.
Create repositoryCreates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.
Create snippet commentPosts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.
Delete issuePermanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.
Delete repositoryPermanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
Get current userRetrieves the profile information (uuid, display name, links, creation date) for the currently authenticated bitbucket user.
Get file from repositoryRetrieves a specific file's content from a bitbucket repository at a given commit (hash, branch, or tag), failing if the file path is invalid for that commit.
Get Pull RequestGet a single pull request by id with complete details.
Get snippetRetrieves a specific bitbucket snippet by its encoded id from an existing workspace, returning its metadata and file structure.
List pull requestsLists pull requests in a specified, accessible bitbucket repository, optionally filtering by state (open, merged, declined).
List repositories in workspaceLists repositories in a specified bitbucket workspace, accessible to the authenticated user, with options to filter by role or query string, and sort results.
List workspace membersLists all members of a specified bitbucket workspace; the workspace must exist.
List workspacesLists bitbucket workspaces accessible to the authenticated user, optionally filtered and sorted.
Update an issueUpdates an existing issue in a bitbucket repository by modifying specified attributes; requires `workspace`, `repo slug`, `issue id`, and at least one attribute to update.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Bitbucket with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Bitbucket 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 Bitbucket 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 Bitbucket 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 Bitbucket MCP?

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

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

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