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

bash

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

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

The Render MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Render account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like deploying applications, managing services, monitoring site health, restarting instances, and scaling resources on your behalf.

  • Automated application deployment: Instantly deploy new web apps or services without manual steps, letting your agent handle setup and rollouts.
  • Service monitoring and status checks: Ask your agent to check the health and uptime of your apps or services, so you’re always up to speed on what’s running smoothly—and what’s not.
  • Instance management and restarts: Enable your agent to restart, stop, or scale up/down your running services to quickly respond to changes or issues.
  • Resource scaling and configuration: Let your agent adjust resource allocations, increasing or decreasing capacity based on current needs or traffic spikes.
  • Error diagnostics and log retrieval: Have your agent fetch logs or error reports to help troubleshoot issues before they become major problems.

FAQ

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

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

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

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