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

The Griptape MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Griptape account. It provides structured and secure access to your Griptape platform, so your agent can create assistants, launch and monitor AI runs, retrieve logs, and analyze results automatically on your behalf.

  • Automated assistant creation and management: Easily direct your agent to create new assistants or list existing ones, making it simple to manage your AI resources in Griptape Cloud.
  • Launching and controlling assistant runs: Let your agent start new assistant runs, cancel ongoing executions, or fetch the status of any run for streamlined AI workflow management.
  • Real-time monitoring of assistant activities: Have your agent stream live run events, monitor progress, or retrieve detailed logs to keep tabs on every step of your generative AI processes.
  • Error handling and diagnostics: Ask your agent to fetch detailed error reports for failed runs, helping you troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
  • Result retrieval and historical analysis: Automatically pull final outputs from completed runs and review historical execution data, empowering you to analyze and improve your generative AI pipelines over time.

FAQ

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

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

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

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