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

The Flutterwave MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Flutterwave account. It provides structured and secure access to your payment infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like creating payment links, managing beneficiaries, setting up virtual accounts, and handling subaccounts on your behalf.

  • Instant payment link creation: Let your agent generate hosted payment URLs for one-time or recurring transactions, making it easy to collect payments from customers.
  • Beneficiary management: Add, fetch, or remove transfer beneficiaries directly through your agent, streamlining the process of managing who receives your payouts.
  • Virtual account generation: Automatically create single or bulk virtual bank accounts for customers, enabling seamless and trackable bank transfers.
  • Subaccount setup and retrieval: Have your agent create, configure, or fetch subaccounts to manage split payments and disbursements for complex business needs.
  • Payment link control: Disable active payment links when necessary to prevent further transactions, ensuring you stay in control of your payment flows.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Flutterwave with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Flutterwave 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 Flutterwave operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 850+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Flutterwave 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

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

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

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

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