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

  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "composio": {
        "enabled": true,

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

The Nango MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Nango account. It provides structured and secure access to your integrations, so your agent can perform actions like triggering syncs, managing connections, listing providers, and executing workflow actions across 250+ external APIs on your behalf.

  • Connection management and discovery: Effortlessly list all your existing Nango connections, view metadata, or retrieve connection information without exposing sensitive credentials.
  • Provider information and browsing: Ask your agent to list all available providers or fetch detailed configuration info for a specific provider, making it easy to discover and set up new integrations.
  • Triggering workflow actions: Direct your agent to execute custom workflow actions by specifying the connection, provider, and action identifiers—unlocking advanced automation across connected platforms.
  • Manual sync initiation: Have your agent trigger sync processes for any established connection, ensuring your data stays up-to-date across all integrated services.
  • Script configuration retrieval: Let your agent fetch Nango scripts configuration and triggers, enabling more tailored and automated integration flows.

FAQ

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

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

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

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