What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Composio SDK?

Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Composio SDK works

The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:

Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

A Google API key for Gemini models
A Composio account and API key
Python 3.9 or later installed
Basic familiarity with Python

Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key

Go to Google AI Studio and create an API key.
Copy the key and keep it safe. You will put this in GOOGLE_API_KEY.

Composio API Key and User ID

Log in to the Composio dashboard.
Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Composio API key. Use this for COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
Decide on a stable user identifier to scope sessions, often your email or a user ID. Use this for COMPOSIO_USER_ID.

Install dependencies

bash

pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.

What's happening:

google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
composio connects your agent to Alpha vantage via MCP
python-dotenv loads environment variables

Set up ADK project

bash

adk create my_agent

Set up a new Google ADK project.

What's happening:

This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file

Set environment variables

bash

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email

Save all your credentials in the .env file.

What's happening:

GOOGLE_API_KEY authenticates with Google's Gemini models
COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management

Import modules and validate environment

python

import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

What's happening:

os reads environment variables
Composio is the main Composio SDK client
GoogleProvider declares that you are using Google ADK as the agent runtime
Agent is the Google ADK LLM agent class
McpToolset lets the ADK agent call MCP tools over HTTP

Create Composio client and Tool Router session

python

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["alpha_vantage"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url,
print(f"Composio MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")

What's happening:

Authenticates to Composio with your API key
Declares Google ADK as the provider
Spins up a short-lived MCP endpoint for your user and selected toolkit
Stores the MCP HTTP URL for the ADK MCP integration

Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

python

composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Alpha vantage operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")

What's happening:

Connects the ADK agent to the Composio MCP endpoint through McpToolset
Uses Gemini as the model powering the agent
Lists exact tool names in instruction to reduce misnamed tool calls

Run the agent

bash

# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web

Execute the agent from the project root. The web command opens a web portal where you can chat with the agent.

What's happening:

adk run runs the agent in CLI mode
adk web . opens a web UI for interactive testing

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Alpha vantage MCP?

With a standalone Alpha vantage MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Alpha vantage tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Alpha vantage and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Google ADK?

Yes, you can. Google ADK 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 Alpha vantage tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Alpha vantage while using Tool Router?

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

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10 pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar, shows you the commitment you need to have when users rely on your software.

Abhi AryaCo-founder, Opennote

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it has immensely helped in keeping new users on the platform.

Nirman DaveCEO, Zams

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered. It supported niche tools and tricky edge cases that other platforms simply ignored. Giving us confidence to scale without compromising.

Ryan YuFounder, Extra Thursday

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down in the complexities of managing agent auth would have been a death sentence for Extra Thursday.

Tomisin JenrolaFounder & CEO, SwarmZero

Before partnering with Composio, adding tool integrations was a slow, resource-intensive process. Each integration could take weeks or months of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
