## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `AMARA_ADD_SUBTITLE_NOTE` | Add Subtitle Note | Adds a note/comment to a specific subtitle language for a video. Notes are used for collaboration and providing feedback on subtitles during the editing process. Requires a valid video ID and language code. Use this tool to document issues, provide suggestions, or communicate with other subtitle editors. |
| `AMARA_ADD_VIDEO_URL` | Add Video URL | Tool to add a new URL to a video, allowing association with multiple video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Use when you need to add alternative URLs for the same video content on different platforms. |
| `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE` | Create Subtitle Language | Creates a new subtitle language track for an Amara video. This is the first step before adding or uploading subtitles - you must create the language track before you can add subtitle content. Each video can have multiple subtitle languages, but you cannot create the same language twice for the same video. Use list_subtitle_languages to check existing languages before creating a new one. |
| `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLES` | Create Subtitles | Tool to create new subtitles for a video in a specific language. Accepts subtitle data in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, DFXP, etc.) either as a string or via URL. The subtitle language must already exist for the video - use create_subtitle_language first if needed. Use when you need to add subtitle content to a video. |
| `AMARA_CREATE_VIDEO` | Create Video | Tool to add a new video to Amara. Use when you need to create a video entry from a URL. Supports URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or direct video file URLs. |
| `AMARA_DELETE_VIDEO_URL` | Delete Video URL | Tool to remove a video URL from a video. Use when you need to delete an unwanted or incorrect URL from a video's list of URLs. The video must have at least one other URL remaining. |
| `AMARA_FETCH_SUBTITLES_DATA` | Fetch Subtitles Data | Fetch subtitle data for a video in a specific language. Returns a list of subtitle segments with start/end timestamps and text content. Use this after obtaining a video ID (from List Videos) and confirming available language codes (from List Subtitle Languages). |
| `AMARA_GET_ACTIVITY` | Get Activity | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific activity by its ID. Use when you need to fetch metadata for a particular activity event. |
| `AMARA_GET_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE_DETAILS` | Get Subtitle Language Details | Tool to retrieve details for a single subtitle language. Use when you have video ID and language code and need metadata about that language track. |
| `AMARA_GET_TEAM_DETAILS` | Get Team Details | Tool to get details on a specific team by slug. Use when you need metadata for a single team. |
| `AMARA_GET_TEAM_LANGUAGES` | Get Team Languages | Tool to get language preferences for a specific team by slug. Use when you need to retrieve preferred and blacklisted languages for a team. |
| `AMARA_GET_USER_ACTIVITY` | Get User Activity | Tool to retrieve activity log for a specific user on Amara. Use when you need to view a user's recent actions such as video additions, subtitle edits, or comments. Returns a paginated list of activity items with details about what actions the user performed, on which videos, and in which languages. |
| `AMARA_GET_USER_DATA` | Get User Data | Retrieves detailed user profile information from Amara, including username, avatar, biography, languages spoken, and video counts. Use this tool when you need to: - Fetch a user's profile details by their username or user ID - Get information about the authenticated user using 'me' as identifier - Look up user metadata like languages, biography, or avatar - Obtain user resource URIs for further API operations Note: User IDs (with 'id$' prefix) are more reliable than usernames since usernames can be changed by users. |
| `AMARA_GET_VIDEO_URL` | Get Video URL | Tool to get details for a specific video URL. Use when you need to retrieve metadata about a specific URL entry in Amara's system by video_id and url_id. |
| `AMARA_GET_VIDEO_URL_DETAILS` | Get Video URL Details | Tool to get details for a specific video URL. Use when you have a public or embeddable video URL and need its Amara metadata (ID, title, duration, thumbnails, etc.). |
| `AMARA_LIST_ACTIVITY` | List Activity | Tool to list activity across Amara. Use when you need to retrieve activity logs with optional filters by team, video, or activity type. |
| `AMARA_LIST_AVAILABLE_LANGUAGES` | List Available Languages | Tool to get a list of all supported languages. Use when you need to know available language options from Amara. |
| `AMARA_LIST_SUBTITLE_ACTIONS` | List Subtitle Actions | Tool to list available actions for subtitles based on current workflow state. Use when you need to determine what operations can be performed on a subtitle (e.g., approve, reject, publish) for a specific video and language. |
| `AMARA_LIST_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGES` | List Subtitle Languages | Tool to list all subtitle languages for a video. Use when you have a video ID and need to fetch its available subtitle languages. |

| `AMARA_MAKE_VIDEO_URL_PRIMARY` | Make Video URL Primary | Tool to set a video URL as the primary URL. Use when you need to designate one of a video's URLs as primary for embedding and display. Call after listing video URLs to confirm the URL ID. |
| `AMARA_PERFORM_SUBTITLE_ACTION` | Perform Subtitle Action | Tool to perform an action on subtitles such as publish, unpublish, approve, reject, send-back, or endorse. Use when you need to change the workflow state of subtitles for a specific video and language. The available actions depend on the current workflow state and team settings. |
| `AMARA_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message | Sends a message to a user or team member in Amara. Use this tool to send notifications, updates, or communicate with other users or teams on the platform. You must specify either a recipient user (by username or user ID) or a team (by team slug), but not both. |
| `AMARA_UPDATE_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE` | Update Subtitle Language | Tool to update a subtitle language for a video. Use after reviewing existing subtitle language settings and needing to adjust completeness flags or soft-limit constraints. |
| `AMARA_UPDATE_VIDEO` | Update Video | Tool to update an existing video's metadata including title, description, team, and project assignment. Use when you need to modify video information after creation. |

```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript

import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Amara Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Amara actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Fetch subtitle data for video abc123 in Spanish'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Fetch subtitle data for video abc123 in Spanish'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {

            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Amara tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Fetch subtitle data for video abc123 in Spanish')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
