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 Kaggle with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Kaggle 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 Kaggle 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 Kaggle 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.

Configuration

    "entries": {

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

The Kaggle MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kaggle account. It provides structured and secure access to your Kaggle datasets, competitions, and configurations, so your agent can perform actions like downloading competition data, creating datasets, submitting entries, and managing dataset versions on your behalf.

  • Competition data access and download: Let your agent fetch and download competition datasets quickly by specifying a competition ID, so you always have the latest files for analysis.
  • Automated dataset creation and management: Have your agent create new Kaggle datasets, update metadata, and publish new dataset versions seamlessly, streamlining the process of sharing your work with the community.
  • Competition entry submission: Empower your agent to submit competition entries automatically once your solution is ready and uploaded, helping you participate in challenges without manual hassle.
  • Configuration management and setup: Allow your agent to initialize, locate, and update Kaggle API configuration files and keys, ensuring smooth and authenticated operations every time.
  • Dataset status monitoring: Ask your agent to check the status of uploaded datasets or processing jobs, so you always know when your data is ready for use or public sharing.

Conclusion

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

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Kaggle 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 Kaggle MCP?

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

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

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