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

The AssemblyAI MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your AssemblyAI account. It provides structured and secure access to your media and transcription workflows, so your agent can upload recordings, submit transcriptions, retrieve results, search transcripts, and export subtitles on your behalf.

  • Media upload and transcription: Have your agent upload an audio or video file, or submit remotely hosted media for transcription.
  • Transcript retrieval and review: Let the agent check transcription progress, retrieve completed text, and list recent transcripts from your account.
  • Detailed transcript segments: Direct your agent to fetch sentence or paragraph segments with timestamps, confidence scores, and individual words.
  • Transcript search and subtitle export: Instruct your agent to find words or phrases with occurrence timestamps, or export completed transcripts as SRT or WebVTT subtitles.
  • Redacted audio and transcript cleanup: Have your agent retrieve available PII-redacted audio or permanently delete stored transcript content you no longer need.

Conclusion

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

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