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 Scrapingant with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev/composio/~/connect/clients/openclaw
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Scrapingant from the dashboard
- Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.
Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin
1. Install OpenClaw Composio 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 restart5. 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 Scrapingant MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Scrapingant MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Scrapingant account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web scraping tools, so your agent can extract web data, render dynamic pages, convert content to markdown, and monitor API usage on your behalf.
- AI-powered data extraction: Direct your agent to pull structured data from web pages using custom AI queries—ideal for capturing tables, lists, prices, or other key information.
- Dynamic web page scraping: Scrape complex sites with JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and support for cookies or browser emulation to handle modern web content.
- Content conversion to markdown: Have your agent extract and convert page content into markdown format for clean, ready-to-use text in downstream applications or LLM pipelines.
- Extended scraping with rich JSON output: Fetch detailed responses including raw HTML, headers, cookies, and other metadata to support advanced automation and analysis tasks.
- API credit monitoring: Let your agent check and report on your current Scrapingant API credit usage, helping you manage quotas and avoid interruptions.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Scrapingant MCP?
With a standalone Scrapingant MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Scrapingant tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Scrapingant while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
