Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications. Key features include: - Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation - MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers - Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses - Async First: Designed for async/await patterns ## 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 agent to Accredible certificates. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Accredible certificates operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface. 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 Before starting, make sure you have: - Python 3.9 or higher - A Composio account with an active API key - Basic familiarity with Python and async programming ### 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 the required libraries. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Accredible certificates - pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support - python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file ```bash pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API - USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access - OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ``` ### 4. Import dependencies What's happening: - We load environment variables and import required modules - Composio manages connections to Accredible certificates - MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Accredible certificates MCP server endpoint - Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router Session What's happening: - We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Accredible certificates tools - The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available - The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use ```python async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Accredible certificates composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["accredible_certificates"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") ``` ### 6. Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent What's happening: - The MCP client connects to the Accredible certificates endpoint - The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Accredible certificates operations - The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior ```python # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent accredible_certificates_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[accredible_certificates_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Accredible certificates assistant. Use Accredible certificates tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) ``` ### 7. Build the chat interface What's happening: - The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response - Accredible certificates API calls happen automatically under the hood - The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns ```python # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Accredible certificates.\n") 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", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() ``` ### 8. Run the application What's happening: - The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit ```python if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Accredible certificates composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["accredible_certificates"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent accredible_certificates_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[accredible_certificates_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Accredible certificates assistant. Use Accredible certificates tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Accredible certificates.\n") 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", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Accredible certificates through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Accredible certificates actions through natural language. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Accredible certificates for workflow automation) This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations. ## 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 Pydantic AI? Yes, you can. Pydantic AI 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)
