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

The Ramp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ramp account. It provides structured and secure access to your company's financial data, so your agent can fetch transactions, analyze card activity, generate statements, manage departments, and retrieve detailed expense information on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive transaction tracking: Instantly pull lists of all your business transactions or your own card activity, making it easy to monitor expenses and spot anomalies.
  • Card management and insights: Retrieve details about specific Ramp cards or see all cards assigned to you, including limits, status, and cardholder info for better financial oversight.
  • Automated statement generation: Ask your agent to generate and download account statements in multiple formats (PDF, CSV, JSON) for reporting or bookkeeping.
  • Department and organizational management: Create new departments or fetch detailed department profiles to help structure your expense tracking and categorize spending.
  • Detailed transaction analysis: Dive into specific transactions to get merchant information, receipts, dispute details, and accounting codes for audit and compliance purposes.

FAQ

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

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

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

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