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

The Botstar MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Botstar account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot operations, so your agent can perform actions like managing live chat sessions, updating user details, retrieving app parameters, and sending data between webviews and your bot—all on your behalf.

  • Live chat session control: Programmatically open, close, or reinitialize the Botstar live chat widget to manage user interactions in real time.
  • Automated user profile updates: Let your agent update user details and profile attributes during an active chatbot conversation for a more personalized experience.
  • Webview data exchange: Seamlessly send responses from webviews back to the chatbot or retrieve parameters passed from the bot to your webview for dynamic content handling.
  • Custom callback registration: Set up onOpen and onClose event handlers so your agent can trigger actions whenever users interact with the chat window.
  • Application ID and configuration retrieval: Fetch essential Botstar application IDs and parameters for smooth widget initialization and advanced bot customization.

Conclusion

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

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

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

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