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

The Archive.org MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Archive.org account. It provides structured and secure access to archived content, Wayback captures, item records, usage analytics, and account tasks, so your agent can search collections, retrieve files, manage items, inspect activity, and handle reviews on your behalf.

  • Content search and retrieval: Have your agent search Archive.org by keywords and metadata, inspect complete item records, and download public files.
  • Wayback history research: Instruct your agent to find the closest archived version of a web page or list available captures for a website.
  • Item and file management: Direct your agent to check identifier availability, upload, copy, or delete files, update item metadata, and request new derivatives.
  • Images, manifests, and analytics: Let the agent inspect IIIF image details and manifests, render selected image regions, and review item views, history, geography, and referrers.
  • Account tasks and reviews: Have your agent check your account details, monitor catalog tasks and limits, read task logs, and create, update, retrieve, or delete your reviews.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Archive.org with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Archive.org 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 Archive.org 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 Archive.org 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 Archive.org MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Archive.org tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Archive.org 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 Archive.org tools.

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