Api Key

Datascope is a mobile data collection platform for replacing paperwork and field forms. It helps teams work faster and more efficiently by digitizing field data entry.

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 Datascope with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Datascope 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 1500+ 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 Datascope 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 Datascope 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

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

The Datascope MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Datascope account. It provides structured and secure access to your forms, field responses, tasks, locations, metadata lists, findings, and generated files, so your agent can review submissions, update answers, assign tasks, manage field locations, and organize reference data on your behalf.

  • Form and response review: Have your agent list available forms, retrieve recent field responses with their metadata, and change specific answers in submitted forms.
  • Field task assignments: Direct your agent to assign forms to team members at selected locations with clear deadlines.
  • Location management: Let the agent list your configured locations, create new locations with geographic coordinates, and update existing location details.
  • Reference list management: Instruct your agent to create metadata lists, add or edit list entries, review all entries, and update them in bulk.
  • Findings and generated reports: Have your agent review recent findings and their types, check notifications, and list generated PDF or Excel files from a chosen date range.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Datascope with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Datascope 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 Datascope operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1500+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Datascope 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

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Datascope MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Datascope tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Datascope and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Datascope tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Datascope 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.

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 Datascope data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
