## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Alttext ai to Google ADK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Alttext ai agent that can generate alt text for new uploaded image, list images missing alt descriptions, search images by keyword in alt text through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Google ADK agent real control over a Alttext ai account through Composio's Alttext ai MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get a Alttext ai account set up and connected to Composio
- Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
- Create a Composio Tool Router session for Alttext ai
- Build an agent that connects to Alttext ai through MCP
- Interact with Alttext ai using natural language

## What is Google ADK?

Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
- Gemini Integration: Native support for Google's Gemini models
- MCP Toolset: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol tools
- Streamable HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
- CLI and Web UI: Run agents via command line or web interface

## What is the Alttext ai MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Alttext ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alttext ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your image library and account, so your agent can retrieve images, generate and search alt text, update account settings, and manage your Alttext.ai workflow on your behalf.
- Automated image library browsing: Instantly fetch and paginate through your stored images, complete with their alt text and metadata, to keep track of your visual assets.
- Keyword-based image searches: Direct your agent to search your image collection and find specific images or alt text based on custom search terms or filters.
- Account monitoring and insights: Check your Alttext.ai account configuration, review current usage limits, and monitor your plan details or webhook settings—no manual dashboard visits needed.
- Account configuration management: Let your agent update your account details, such as webhook URLs or display names, to streamline your integration and notification setup.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ALTTEXT_AI_CREATE_BULK_IMAGES` | Bulk Create Images | Tool to bulk upload and process a CSV file of image URLs for alt text generation. Use when you need to process multiple images at once (up to 100,000 URLs). Invalid rows are returned in row_errors for debugging. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_CREATE_IMAGE` | Create Image | Tool to add an image and generate alt text. Supports both URL and base64-encoded file upload. Use when you need to generate alt text for images, with options for custom prompts, keywords, multiple languages, and ecommerce data. Rate limited to 4 calls per second. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_DELETE_IMAGE_BY_ASSET_ID` | Delete Image by Asset ID | Tool to delete an image from your library by its asset ID. Use when you need to remove a specific image permanently from your AltText.ai account. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_GET_ACCOUNT` | Get Account | Tool to retrieve account settings and usage information. Use when you need to check your AltText.ai account configuration and usage limits before generating alt text. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_GET_IMAGE_BY_ASSET_ID` | Get Image by Asset ID | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific image using its asset ID. Use when you need to fetch alt text, metadata, or status of a previously processed image. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_GET_IMAGES` | Get Images | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of images in your library, including their alt text and metadata. Use when you need to browse or filter images programmatically after authentication. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_SCRAPE_PAGE` | Scrape Page for Images | Tool to scrape a web page or HTML document and queue all images for alt text generation. Images are processed asynchronously. Does not execute JavaScript. Use when you need to batch-process images from a website or HTML content. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_SEARCH_IMAGES` | Search Images | Search for images in your AltText.ai library by keywords. Searches through your previously processed images to find matches based on URLs, alt text content, and metadata. Useful for finding specific images in large libraries. Returns paginated results with alt text and metadata. Note: This searches your own image library, not a public image database. Images must be added via the Create Image endpoint before they can be searched. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_UPDATE_ACCOUNT` | Update Account | Tool to update account settings (e.g., webhook_url, name). Use after confirming current account details to modify settings. |
| `ALTTEXT_AI_UPDATE_IMAGE_BY_ASSET_ID` | Update Image by Asset ID | Tool to update an image with new data including asset ID, alt text, and metadata. Use when you need to modify existing image information. Note: You cannot update the URL of an existing image. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Alttext ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Alttext ai. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Alttext ai 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:
- A Google API key for Gemini models
- A Composio account and API key
- Python 3.9 or later installed
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key
- Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) 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](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- 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.

### 2. Install dependencies

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.
What's happening:
- google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
- composio connects your agent to Alttext ai via MCP
- python-dotenv loads environment variables
```bash
pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up ADK project

Set up a new Google ADK project.
What's happening:
- This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file
```bash
adk create my_agent
```

### 4. Set environment variables

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

### 5. Import modules and validate 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
```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.")
```

### 6. Create Composio client and Tool Router session

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
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

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

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

### 7. Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

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
```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 Alttext ai operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

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

### 8. Run the agent

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
```bash
# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web
```

## Complete Code

```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from composio_google import GoogleProvider
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.")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY, provider=GoogleProvider())

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

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url


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 Alttext ai operations."
    ),  
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

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

## Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Alttext ai with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Alttext ai using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
- The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Alttext ai tools
- Environment variables keep your credentials secure and separate from code
- Clear agent instructions reduce tool calling errors
- The ADK web UI provides an interactive interface for testing and development
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Alttext ai MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Alttext ai while using Tool Router?

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