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

The Browser tool MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to browser automation tools. It provides structured and secure access to browser actions, so your agent can fetch web content, perform clicks, automate keyboard shortcuts, move the mouse, and interact with on-page elements just like a real user.

  • Fetch and analyze webpage content: Let your agent retrieve the full HTML or clean text of any web page for data extraction, analysis, or decision-making.
  • Automated mouse and keyboard interactions: Instruct your agent to perform precise clicks, double clicks, drags, and keyboard shortcuts to navigate, select, or manipulate content on the page.
  • Clipboard and text extraction: Have the agent copy highlighted text, read clipboard contents, or transfer data between the browser and other tools for seamless workflows.
  • Drag-and-drop automation: Enable your agent to handle complex drag-and-drop actions, such as moving files or rearranging lists, to mimic advanced user interactions.
  • Fine-grained UI element control: Direct your agent to move the mouse, press and hold, or release buttons at exact coordinates to interact with dynamic or custom web interfaces.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Copy Selected TextCopy currently selected text on the page to clipboard - ideal for extracting highlighted content, copying form data, or harvesting visible text selections.
Drag and DropExecute precise drag and drop operations - essential for file uploads, list reordering, element moving, and complex ui interactions that require drag-based manipulation.
Fetch Webpage ContentYour eyes: get page content for decision-making.
Get Clipboard ContentRead current content from the system clipboard - essential for data transfer workflows, extracting copied text, and reading user-copied data for processing.
Keyboard ShortcutExecute keyboard shortcuts and key combinations - essential for copy/paste, navigation, and application commands that agents need for efficient browser automation.
Mouse ClickPrecision clicker: manual clicking with coordinates.
Mouse Double ClickExecute a precise double click at specified screen coordinates - ideal for opening files, selecting text, or activating ui elements that require double click gestures.
Mouse Down (Press and Hold)Press and hold mouse button at coordinates - use for starting custom drag operations, text selections, or long-press interactions.
Mouse MoveMove mouse cursor to precise coordinates without clicking - perfect for triggering hover effects, revealing tooltips, and positioning for subsequent interactions.
Mouse Up (Release Button)Release mouse button at coordinates - completes drag operations, text selections, and long-press interactions.
Navigate to URLAlways start here: creates browser session and navigates to url.
Paste TextPaste text content at the current cursor position - perfect for filling forms, inserting data into text fields, or quick content insertion at focused elements.
AI Perform Web TaskAi automation: complex workflows only.
Screenshot WebpageCapture high-quality screenshot of any webpage with extensive customization options - perfect for archiving, visual documentation, full-page captures, and cross-device viewport testing.
Scroll PagePage navigation: smooth scrolling.
Set Clipboard ContentStore text content in the system clipboard for later paste operations - perfect for preparing data transfers, staging content for forms, or cross-application data sharing.
Take ScreenshotVisual verification: capture screenshot of current browser viewport.
Type TextControlled input: human-like typing.

Conclusion

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Browser tool MCP?

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

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

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