However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access IBM X-Force Exchange with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on IBM X-Force Exchange via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate IBM X-Force Exchange with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ibm_x_force_exchange/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### 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. ## Connect IBM X-Force Exchange to OpenClaw ### How to install IBM X-Force Exchange with OpenClaw ### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt - Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt) - Copy the setup prompt - Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface. - Authenticate IBM X-Force Exchange from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate) - 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 ``` ## What is the IBM X-Force Exchange MCP server, and what's possible with it? The IBM X-Force Exchange MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your IBM X-Force Exchange account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform IBM X-Force Exchange operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_CASEFILES_PUBLIC` | Get Latest Public Collections | Tool to retrieve latest public Collections from IBM X-Force Exchange.

With a standalone IBM X-Force Exchange MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of IBM X-Force Exchange tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from IBM X-Force Exchange 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 IBM X-Force Exchange tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for IBM X-Force Exchange while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which IBM X-Force Exchange 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 IBM X-Force Exchange data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
