How to integrate Basin MCP with OpenClaw

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

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

The Basin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Basin account. It provides structured and secure access to your forms and projects, so your agent can perform actions like creating forms, managing webhooks, organizing projects, and retrieving domain or form details on your behalf.

  • Instant form creation and management: Ask your agent to set up new forms with custom settings, associate them with projects, or delete forms you no longer need—all without manual coding.
  • Seamless project organization: Let your agent create new Basin projects to group related forms or delete obsolete projects, keeping your workspace tidy and efficient.
  • Automated webhook and integration setup: Have your agent add or remove webhooks for specific forms, so submissions are instantly routed to the right endpoints or external services.
  • Detailed form and account insights: Retrieve rich metadata about any form or get a full list of domains linked to your Basin account, helping you monitor and audit your form infrastructure.
  • Effortless notification management: Empower your agent to configure notification webhooks, ensuring critical submissions reach your team or external tools in real time.

Conclusion

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

Next steps:

  • Try asking OpenClaw to perform various Basin 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

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Basin MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Basin tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Basin and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Basin tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Basin 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.

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 Basin data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
