By the end, you'll have a working Accredible certificates agent that can bulk create certificates for this course, download pdfs for recent issued credentials, list all available certificate templates through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Accredible certificates account through Composio's Accredible certificates MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Accredible certificates with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Accredible certificates - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Accredible certificates tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Accredible certificates operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Accredible certificates MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Accredible certificates MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Accredible certificates account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital credentials platform, so your agent can perform actions like issuing certificates, managing groups, generating PDFs, and organizing templates on your behalf. - Bulk credential creation and issuance: Let your agent create and issue batches of digital certificates or badges to multiple recipients in one go. - Automated group and collection management: Effortlessly create, clone, or delete groups and collections to organize recipients and credentials based on your programs or courses. - Credential evidence and reference handling: Add or remove evidence items or references to credentials, supporting richer documentation and verification for each certificate. - PDF certificate generation and export: Quickly generate and download PDF copies of credentials, individually or in bulk, for easy offline distribution or archiving. - Template listing and selection: Retrieve and browse all available certificate templates, so your agent can help you pick or preview designs for new credentials. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_BULK_CREATE_CREDENTIALS_V2` | Bulk Create Credentials (V2) | Tool to bulk create credentials. use when batching up to 30 credentials in one call; supports multi-status (207) responses. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_CLONE_GROUP` | Clone Group | Tool to clone an existing group. use after confirming the source group exists and you need a copy with optional overrides. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_CREATE_COLLECTION` | Create Collection | Tool to create a new collection. use when you need a curated set of groups. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_CREATE_EVIDENCE_ITEM` | Create Evidence Item | Tool to create a new evidence item for a credential. use after confirming credential id. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_CREATE_GROUP` | Create Group | Tool to create a new group. use after gathering all group details. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_DELETE_CREDENTIAL` | Delete Credential | Tool to delete a credential. use after confirming you want to permanently remove an existing credential. executes delete on /credentials/{credential id} endpoint and returns status code. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_DELETE_GROUP` | Delete Group | Tool to delete a group. use after confirming no credentials remain and when you need to permanently remove the group. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_DELETE_REFERENCE` | Delete Reference | Tool to delete a specific reference by id. use after confirming both credential id and reference id. example: "delete reference 1234 from credential 'abc123'." | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_GENERATE_PD_FS_FOR_CREDENTIALS` | Generate PDFs for Credentials | Tool to generate pdfs for multiple credentials. use when you need to batch-download a zip archive of certificate pdfs for a list of published credential ids. example: "generate pdfs for credentials [10000005, 10272642]". | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List Templates | Tool to retrieve a list of all templates. use after authentication to fetch paginated certificate templates. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_SEARCH_COLLECTIONS` | Search Collections | Tool to search for collections. use when you need to filter collections by ids, name, or public flag and paginate through results. e.g., "search for public collections named 'abc' on page 2." | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_UPDATE_GROUP` | Update Group | Tool to update an existing group. use when you need to modify group details after fetching its current data. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_UPDATE_REFERENCE` | Update Reference | Tool to update a reference by id. use when you need to modify a reference's details for a credential. use after retrieving the reference id to change comments or relationship. | | `ACCREDIBLE_CERTIFICATES_VIEW_ALL_SKILL_CATEGORIES` | View All Skill Categories | Tool to retrieve all skill categories. use when you need to list all available skill categories (e.g., to link them to groups). | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Accredible certificates MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Accredible certificates. Instead of manually wiring Accredible certificates APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Accredible certificates account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Accredible certificates via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Accredible certificates connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Accredible certificates tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Accredible certificates session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["accredible_certificates"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Accredible certificates tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Accredible certificates assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="accredible_certificates_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Accredible certificates operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Accredible certificates tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Accredible certificates related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Accredible certificates session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["accredible_certificates"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Accredible certificates assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="accredible_certificates_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Accredible certificates operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Accredible certificates related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Accredible certificates through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Accredible certificates, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Accredible certificates MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/accredible_certificates/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Canvas](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canvas) - Canvas is a learning management system for online courses, assignments, grading, and collaboration.

With a standalone Accredible certificates MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Accredible certificates tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Accredible certificates and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Autogen? Yes, you can. Autogen 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 Accredible certificates tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Accredible certificates while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Accredible certificates 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. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? 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 Accredible certificates data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
