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

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

The Strava MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Strava account. It provides structured and secure access to your fitness data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching activities, analyzing stats, logging workouts, managing routes, and exploring your social fitness feed on your behalf.

  • Workout tracking and retrieval: Let your agent pull detailed records of your recent runs, rides, and other logged activities, complete with stats, maps, and performance data.
  • Fitness analytics and progress insights: Have your agent analyze your weekly or monthly trends, highlight PRs, and summarize progress toward your training goals.
  • Route exploration and management: Ask your agent to list, suggest, or organize your favorite routes and segments for upcoming workouts or challenges.
  • Social engagement automation: Enable your agent to fetch kudos, summarize comments, or surface activity highlights from friends and clubs in your Strava network.
  • Activity creation and editing: Allow your agent to log new activities, edit workout details, or update activity metadata for accurate record keeping.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Strava with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Strava 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 Strava operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows

FAQ

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

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

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

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