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

The Scrapingbee MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Scrapingbee account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web scraping tools, so your agent can extract data, fetch HTML, bypass anti-bot measures, and monitor your usage—all without manual code.

  • Structured data extraction from any webpage: Let your agent pull tables, lists, or custom data using CSS or XPath selectors with ScrapingBee's extraction rules.
  • Fetch full HTML or page screenshots: Ask your agent to retrieve raw page markup or rendered screenshots, including support for JavaScript-heavy sites.
  • Proxy and stealth scraping: Enable your agent to scrape sites that block bots by routing requests through ScrapingBee proxies or stealth modes to bypass anti-bot defenses.
  • Resource control and custom rendering: Have your agent fine-tune scraping with options to block resources, control JS rendering, and speed up extraction for tricky websites.
  • Monitor account usage and limits: Keep track of your remaining ScrapingBee credits and usage statistics directly through your agent for seamless quota management.

FAQ

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

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

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

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