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 Human Approval - HITL Platform 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 Human Approval - HITL Platform 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 Human Approval - HITL Platform MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Human Approval - HITL Platform MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Human Approval - HITL Platform account. It provides structured and secure access to your human approval loops and review requests, so your agent can organize reviewers, request decisions, track responses, cancel pending reviews, and manage approval loops on your behalf.

  • Approval loop management: Have your agent create, rename, describe, list, or permanently delete approval loops for different teams and workflows.
  • Reviewer readiness checks: Let the agent list active and pending reviewers in a loop before sending work for human approval.
  • Human approval requests: Direct your agent to create and broadcast structured approval requests to the active reviewers in a chosen loop.
  • Decision tracking and cancellation: Instruct your agent to check an approval request's status and human response, list previous requests, or cancel a pending request.
  • Account and allowance checks: Have your agent verify the connected account's status, permissions, and remaining request allowance before asking for approval.

TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Human Approval - HITL Platform action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Cancel Approval Request

Irreversibly cancel a pending approval request so reviewers can no longer complete it.

Create Approval Request

Create and broadcast one human approval request to active members of an owned loop, consuming one provider request allowance.

Create Loop

Create an approval loop and return its loop ID and human invitation links; the connected account is added as an active member.

Delete Loop

Permanently delete an owned loop and all of its memberships, approval requests, responses, feedback, and analytics.

Get Account Status

Return the connected HITL account identity, status, permissions, and provider-reported request allowance before creating an approval request.

Get Approval Request

Get the current status, configuration, and human response for one approval request; use for deliberate polling after creation.

List Approval Requests

Return approval requests created by the connected API key, optionally restricted to one loop; pagination controls are omitted because the live API currently ignores them.

List Loop Members

Return a loop's active and pending human reviewers so an agent can verify readiness before broadcasting an approval request.

List Loops

Return all approval loops owned by the connected account, including embedded members and membership counts.

Update Loop

Update one or more display fields of an owned approval loop without changing its members or requests.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Human Approval - HITL Platform 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 Human Approval - HITL Platform data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
