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

The Spotlightr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Spotlightr account. It provides structured and secure access to your video content and analytics, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving top-performing videos, accessing detailed video metrics, and surfacing engagement insights automatically on your behalf.

  • Top video discovery and listing: Instantly ask your agent to fetch and list your most viewed or highest performing Spotlightr videos.
  • Video analytics and metrics retrieval: Have your agent pull comprehensive analytics for a specific video, including views, engagement rates, unique viewers, and total watch time.
  • Engagement insight extraction: Let the agent surface actionable insights about viewer engagement for any video, making it easy to spot trends and opportunities.
  • Automated reporting support: Your agent can collect and summarize video performance data, making regular reporting and decision-making faster and more data-driven.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Spotlightr with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Spotlightr directly from your terminal, Web UI, or any messenger app using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

  • Seamless integration across TUI, Web UIs, and Messenger apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
  • Natural language commands for Spotlightr operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 850+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • Programmatic tool calling for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Spotlightr operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits like Calendar, Slack, Notion, etc.
  • Build complex automation scripts that leverage OpenClaw's 24/7 running capabilities

FAQ

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

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

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

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