How to integrate Crawlbase 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 Crawlbase with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Crawlbase via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.

Api Key

Crawlbase is a web crawling API platform for fetching pages, managing crawler queues, storing crawl results, and tracking usage. It helps developers collect web data at scale without building and maintaining crawler infrastructure.

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 Crawlbase 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 Crawlbase 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.

Configuration

  "plugins": {
    "entries": {

What is the Crawlbase MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Crawlbase MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Crawlbase account. It provides structured and secure access to web crawling, cloud storage, account usage, and user agent generation, so your agent can crawl public pages, retrieve stored content, delete saved pages, monitor usage, and generate user agents on your behalf.

  • Public web page crawling: Have your agent fetch content from any public HTTP or HTTPS page and review whether the crawl succeeded.
  • Stored page retrieval: Let the agent find and retrieve individual or grouped pages saved in Crawlbase Cloud Storage.
  • Stored content cleanup: Direct your agent to permanently delete selected pages from cloud storage and confirm each deletion outcome.
  • Usage and storage monitoring: Instruct your agent to check current crawling usage, review previous month statistics, and count stored pages.
  • User agent generation: Have your agent generate up to ten realistic randomized user agent strings for a selected device class.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Crawlbase with OpenClaw using Composio plugin. Now interact with Crawlbase 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 Crawlbase 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 Crawlbase 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
TOOLS

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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