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 Composio search 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 Composio search 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

4. Restart OpenClaw

bash
openclaw gateway restart

5. Go to your chat interface and start asking questions.

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 Composio search MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Composio search MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to the entire Composio Search suite. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web, travel, shopping, news, academic, and financial search tools, so your agent can perform actions like searching the web, finding events, locating places, pulling news, and fetching academic research on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive web and news search: Instantly ask your agent to fetch up-to-date web pages, breaking news, or current events using Google, DuckDuckGo, or news-specific search APIs.
  • Travel and local discovery: Let your agent find nearby hotels, flights, events, or map locations using Google Maps and events search for seamless travel planning and local exploration.
  • E-commerce and product lookup: Have your agent search for products, deals, and reviews across major retailers like Amazon and Walmart to help you shop smarter and faster.
  • Financial and market data retrieval: Direct your agent to pull real-time stock information, financial news, and market trends with just a query—no manual research needed.
  • Academic and scholarly research: Empower your agent to find relevant academic papers, citations, and scholarly articles using Google Scholar and Exa Answer for research-heavy tasks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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