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

The Inistate MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Inistate account. It provides structured and secure access to your workspaces, modules, records, activities, and audit history, so your agent can inspect application structures, find records, create or update entries, manage workflow states, and review changes on your behalf.

  • Workspace and module discovery: Have your agent find accessible workspaces, list their modules, and review each module's fields, states, activities, and flows.
  • Record search and review: Let the agent find records using saved listings, filters, search terms, sorting, and selected fields, then inspect their values, state, audit details, and available activities.
  • Record creation and updates: Direct your agent to check required activity fields and available options before creating new records or updating existing ones.
  • Workflow state management: Instruct your agent to request state changes for one record or up to 100 records in the same module, while accounting for low confidence results.
  • Bulk changes and audit review: Have your agent update fields across up to 100 records in one module and review a record's comments, field changes, audit trail, and AI traceability context.

Conclusion

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

Supported Tools

Every Inistate action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Bulk Change Entry States

Request state transitions for 1-100 entries in one module.

Bulk Update Entries

Update fields on 1-100 entries in one module.

Change Entry State

Request a state transition for one module record; low confidence can flag the result and suppress the transition.

Create Entry

Create one record in a module through its create activity and return whether low confidence caused it to be flagged.

Get Activity Form

Get the required fields, current values, options, defaults, and confidence threshold for a module activity before submitting it.

Get Entry

Get one module record by ID, including its current values, state, audit metadata, and available activities.

Get Entry History

Return one chronological 50-item page of a record's audit trail, comments, field changes, and AI traceability context.

Get Module Schema

Get a module's fields and states, optionally including its activities and flows, before querying or changing records.

List Entries

Return one page of records from a module using a saved listing, field filters, search, sorting, and field projection.

List Modules

List modules available in a workspace so their exact names can be used in schema and record tools.

List Workspaces

Update Entry

Update fields on one existing module record through its edit activity and return whether low confidence caused it to be flagged.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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