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

    "entries": {

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

The Botpress MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Botpress account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot platform, so your agent can perform actions like listing conversations, managing bot files, tracking issues, and exploring workspaces on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive conversation management: Retrieve and paginate through all chatbot conversations, making it easy to review chat history and analyze user interactions.
  • Bot issue tracking and diagnostics: List and investigate issues related to specific bots, helping you stay informed about errors or configuration problems as they arise.
  • Workspace discovery and organization: Browse both public and private workspaces, making it seamless to manage your bot environments or explore new collaborative spaces.
  • File and tag oversight: List, manage, and categorize bot files and their associated tags or tag values, streamlining bot asset organization.
  • Account information access: Instantly fetch authenticated account details so your agent always works with the latest profile and permission data.

FAQ

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

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

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

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