How to integrate Chatbotkit MCP with OpenClaw

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

Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt

• Go to dashboard.composio.dev/composio/~/connect/clients/openclaw
• Copy the setup prompt

• Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
• Authenticate Chatbotkit from the dashboard
• Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.

Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin

1. Install OpenClaw Composio 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.

Configuration

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "consumerKey": "ck_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The Chatbotkit MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Chatbotkit account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot platform, so your agent can perform actions like managing bots, handling conversations, integrating support channels, and organizing skillsets on your behalf.

• Manage and list bots: Effortlessly retrieve and manage all of your chatbots, making it simple to keep tabs on each one in your workspace.
• Conversation tracking and messaging: Browse conversation history, fetch conversation messages, and send new messages for dynamic real-time interactions with users.
• Integration setup and management: Create and list integrations to connect your bots with external channels or support systems without manual configuration.
• Skillset and dataset organization: Create, list, and manage skillsets and datasets to extend your bots’ capabilities and tailor responses to your business needs.
• Partner and sub-account management: View and organize all partner accounts or sub-accounts associated with your main Chatbotkit account for streamlined administration.
