How to integrate Slackbot 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 Slackbot with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Slackbot via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.
Slackbot is a conversational automation tool for Slack that handles reminders, notifications, and automated responses. It boosts team productivity by streamlining onboarding, answering FAQs, and managing timely alerts—all right inside Slack.
Introduction

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 Slackbot with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Slackbot from the dashboard
- Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.
Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin
1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin
openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin2. 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 restart5. 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 Slackbot MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Slackbot MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Slackbot account. It provides structured and secure access to your Slack workspace, so your agent can automate reminders, manage conversations, add emoji reactions, organize channels, and streamline team notifications on your behalf.
- Automated reminders and notifications: Ask your agent to create timely Slack reminders for you or your team using natural language or custom schedules—never miss a deadline or meeting again.
- Message reactions and engagement: Let your agent add emoji reactions to messages, star important items, or highlight key conversations to keep team morale up and draw attention where needed.
- Channel and conversation management: Have your agent archive inactive channels, close direct messages, or organize your workspace by cleaning up conversations—all with just a simple command.
- Custom emoji and file integration: Direct your agent to add new custom emoji, set emoji aliases, or reference external files (like Google Drive docs) for richer, more expressive communication.
- Participant and workflow automation: Empower your agent to add call participants, automate onboarding flows, or handle repetitive Slack tasks to keep your team focused and productive.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.
A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.
We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.
As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.
Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
