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 Firecrawl with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Firecrawl 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 1000+ 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 Firecrawl 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 Firecrawl 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.

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

The Firecrawl MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Firecrawl account. It provides structured and secure access to automated web crawling, scraping, and data extraction, so your agent can perform actions like indexing sites, extracting structured content, mapping URLs, and searching the web on your behalf.

  • Automated web crawling and indexing: Let your agent launch and manage web crawl jobs to gather content or index entire websites efficiently.
  • Structured data extraction: Instruct your agent to extract targeted data from web pages using custom prompts or schemas, turning unstructured sites into actionable information.
  • URL mapping and discovery: Have the agent explore and map all URLs within a website, including options for subdomain inclusion, sitemap processing, or search-based discovery.
  • On-demand scraping and content retrieval: Enable your agent to scrape specific URLs, retrieve page content, and even extract structured JSON using LLM-powered methods.
  • Integrated web search and data collection: Task your agent with running web searches, scraping top result pages, and returning relevant details—all in one workflow.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools

Get errors from a crawl jobTool to retrieve errors from a Firecrawl crawl job.
Get all active crawl jobsTool to retrieve all active crawl jobs for the authenticated team.
Preview crawl parametersPreview crawl parameters before starting a crawl by generating optimal configuration from natural language instructions.
Start a web crawl (v2) [NEW][NEW v2 API] Initiates a Firecrawl v2 web crawl with enhanced features over v1: natural language prompts for automatic crawler configuration, crawlEntireDomain for sibling/parent page discovery, better depth control with maxDiscoveryDepth, subdomain support, and full webhook configuration.
Get team credit usageTool to get current team credit usage information.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Firecrawl with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Firecrawl 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 Firecrawl operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows

FAQ

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

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

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

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