By the end, you'll have a working Alpha vantage agent that can get latest brent crude oil prices, show upcoming earnings calendar for tech stocks, fetch annual balance sheet for apple through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your Mastra AI agent real control over a Alpha vantage account through Composio's Alpha vantage MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Alpha vantage with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together - Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Alpha vantage tools - Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL - Fetch Alpha vantage tool definitions and attach them as a toolset - Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results - Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Alpha vantage agent ## What is Mastra AI? Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP. Key features include: - MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers - Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups - Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution - OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai ## What is the Alpha vantage MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Alpha Vantage MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alpha Vantage account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time and historical financial data, so your agent can fetch market prices, analyze commodities, review company financials, and retrieve earnings transcripts on your behalf. - Get global commodities and market prices: Instantly retrieve real-time and historical price indices for all major commodities and markets—including aluminum, copper, coffee, corn, and crude oil. - Analyze company financial statements: Ask your agent to fetch detailed annual or quarterly balance sheets for any supported company, making fiscal analysis a breeze. - Access upcoming earnings calendars: Pull comprehensive earnings schedules for the next three months, so you never miss an important financial event. - Retrieve earnings call transcripts with sentiment: Automatically obtain full-text earnings call transcripts for a given company and quarter, including sentiment signals to help you gauge market tone. - Perform historical data research: Let your agent gather time series data for commodities and financial indicators, supporting deeper market research and trend analysis. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALL_COMMODITIES` | Get All Commodities Price Index | Tool to retrieve the global price index of all commodities. use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual aggregated price index data for commodities. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALUMINUM` | ALUMINUM | Tool to fetch global aluminum prices. use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual lme aluminum price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BALANCE_SHEET` | Balance Sheet | Tool to return annual and quarterly balance sheets for a company. use when you need detailed fiscal statements for analysis. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BRENT` | Brent Crude Oil Prices | Tool to fetch brent crude oil prices. use when you need daily, weekly, or monthly brent price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COFFEE` | Global Coffee Price | Tool to retrieve the global coffee price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual coffee prices. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COPPER` | COPPER | Tool to fetch global price of copper in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use when you need historical copper price series for analysis. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_CORN` | Corn | Tool to retrieve global price of corn in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use after verifying api key when you need historical corn price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COTTON` | COTTON | Tool to retrieve global cotton prices in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use when you need historical cotton price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_EARNINGS_CALENDAR` | Earnings Calendar | Tool to return the earnings calendar for the next three months. use when you need a schedule of upcoming earnings across symbols. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_EARNINGS_CALL_TRANSCRIPT` | Earnings Call Transcript | Tool to retrieve the earnings call transcript for a given company and quarter. use after confirming symbol and quarter. returns full transcript text and associated llm-based sentiment signals. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_FX_DAILY` | FX Daily Time Series | Tool to fetch daily time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. use after confirming base and quote currency codes to retrieve historical daily fx rates. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_FX_MONTHLY` | FX Monthly Time Series | Tool to get monthly time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. use when you need historical monthly forex data for a given currency pair. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_INCOME_STATEMENT` | Income Statement | Tool to fetch annual and quarterly income statements. use after confirming the company symbol. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_IPO_CALENDAR` | IPO Calendar | Tool to retrieve the ipo calendar for the next three months. use when you need a list of upcoming ipo events across markets. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_LISTING_STATUS` | Listing Status | Tool to fetch listing status of us stocks and etfs. use when you need active or delisted securities as of a date. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_NEWS_SENTIMENT` | News Sentiment | Tool to fetch live and historical market news & sentiment. use when you need curated news articles with sentiment scores for specified tickers and topics. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_SPLITS` | Stock Splits | Tool to retrieve historical stock split events for a symbol. use when you need past split dates and ratio details before analyzing corporate actions. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_SUGAR` | Global Sugar Price | Tool to retrieve the global sugar price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual sugar prices. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_TECHNICAL_INDICATOR` | Technical Indicator | Tool to fetch technical indicators for the specified equity or currency pair. use after obtaining time series to compute moving averages or oscillators. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_WHEAT` | WHEAT | Tool to fetch global price of wheat. use when you need historical wheat prices in monthly, quarterly, or annual intervals. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Alpha vantage MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Alpha vantage. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Alpha vantage 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: - Node.js 18 or higher - A Composio account with an active API key - An OpenAI API key - Basic familiarity with TypeScript ### 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 need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models. - Store the key somewhere safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Go to Settings and copy your API key. - This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Alpha vantage through MCP. ### 2. Install dependencies Install the required packages. What's happening: - @composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions - @mastra/core provides the Agent class - @mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client - @ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI - dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio - COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to - OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import libraries and validate environment What's happening: - dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available - openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper - Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers - MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server - Composio is used to create a Tool Router session ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string, }); ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router session for Alpha vantage What's happening: - create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user - The toolkits array contains "alpha_vantage" for Alpha vantage access - session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to ```typescript async function main() { const session = await composio.create( composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["alpha_vantage"], }, ); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; console.log("Alpha vantage MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl); ``` ### 6. Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools What's happening: - MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers - The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication - getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Alpha vantage toolkit ```typescript const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { nasdaq: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio..."); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length); ``` ### 7. Create the Mastra agent What's happening: - Agent is the core Mastra agent - name is just an identifier for logging and debugging - instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language - model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM ```typescript const agent = new Agent({ name: "alpha_vantage-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Alpha vantage tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); ``` ### 8. Set up interactive chat interface What's happening: - messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format - agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Alpha vantage toolsets - maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run - onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging ```typescript let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n"); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmedInput, }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const response = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { alpha_vantage: composioTools, }, maxSteps: 8, }); const { text } = response; if (text && text.trim().length > 0) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text, }); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nError:", error); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { console.log("\nSession ended."); await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Complete Code ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string }); async function main() { const session = await composio.create(composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["alpha_vantage"], }); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { alpha_vantage: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); const agent = new Agent({ name: "alpha_vantage-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Alpha vantage tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (input: string) => { const trimmed = input.trim(); if (["exit", "quit"].includes(trimmed.toLowerCase())) { rl.close(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmed }); const { text } = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { alpha_vantage: composioTools }, maxSteps: 8, }); if (text) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text }); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main(); ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Mastra AI agent that can interact with Alpha vantage through Composio's Tool Router. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, Slack, or GitHub - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows ## How to build Alpha vantage MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Stripe](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe) - Stripe is a global online payments platform offering APIs for managing payments, customers, and subscriptions.

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 Mastra AI? Yes, you can. Mastra 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 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
