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

The Discord MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Discord account. It provides structured and secure access to your Discord profile, connected accounts, servers, and invites, so your agent can fetch user details, list your servers (guilds), retrieve invite info, and manage your Discord presence on your behalf.

  • Retrieve and manage user profile information: Your agent can fetch your Discord profile details, including email and connected third-party accounts, to help keep your data organized and up-to-date.
  • Server (guild) discovery and membership checks: Effortlessly list all servers you belong to and verify your membership status in any server.
  • Access invite details and server info: Instantly get information about specific Discord invite codes, including the destination server or channel details.
  • Guild member insights: Allow your agent to retrieve your own guild member information across servers, including permissions and roles.
  • OAuth2 application and authorization review: Let your agent fetch your app’s OAuth2 authorization details, so you always know what permissions are granted and when tokens expire.

FAQ

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

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

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

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