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

The Virustotal MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Virustotal account. It provides structured and secure access to malicious file, URL, domain, and IP analysis, so your agent can perform actions like scanning files, retrieving threat reports, investigating domains, and posting comments or verdicts on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive threat analysis retrieval: Instantly fetch detailed reports on files, URLs, domains, or IP addresses to understand their security reputation and scan results from dozens of antivirus engines.
  • Relationship and metadata insights: Have your agent explore related entities—such as domains linked to a file, or files associated with an IP address—along with receiving broad metadata about available VirusTotal operations.
  • Automated commenting and feedback: Use your agent to post contextual comments on any analyzed resource, making collaboration and documentation of findings much easier.
  • Community-driven voting: Submit harmless or malicious verdicts on files and URLs after reviewing analysis, helping to crowdsource threat intelligence and improve detection accuracy.
  • Latest user comment retrieval: Let your agent pull up the most recent comments on a file, URL, domain, or IP address to quickly access community feedback and insights.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Virustotal with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Virustotal 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 Virustotal operations

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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