What is Vercel AI SDK?

The Vercel AI SDK is a TypeScript library for building AI-powered applications. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services and maintain conversation state.

Key features include:

streamText: Core function for streaming responses with real-time tool support
MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol via @ai-sdk/mcp
Step Counting: Control multi-step tool execution with stopWhen: stepCountIs()
OpenAI Provider: Native integration with OpenAI models

What is the Apiverve MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Apiverve MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apiverve account. It provides structured and secure access to a broad suite of APIs, so your agent can perform actions like fetching real-time air quality, converting currencies, retrieving app data, calculating ages, and delivering word definitions or antonyms on your behalf.

Real-time air quality reporting: Instantly get air quality data, including AQI, pollutant levels, and health recommendations for any city.
Currency conversion automation: Effortlessly convert between currencies using up-to-date exchange rates, perfect for financial tasks and travel planning.
App Store metadata retrieval: Fetch detailed information about apps from the app store, including ratings and descriptions, by supplying app IDs and country codes.
Word definitions and antonyms: Ask your agent to define any word or find its opposites, supporting smarter text analysis and content creation.
Travel and information utilities: Calculate age from a date of birth, get the distance between airports, or retrieve detailed airline and airport info—all with a simple prompt.

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 you begin, make sure you have:

Node.js and npm installed
A Composio account with API key
An OpenAI API key

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key

Go to the OpenAI dashboard 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.
Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

Install required dependencies

bash

npm install @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp @composio/core ai dotenv

First, install the necessary packages for your project.

What you're installing:

@ai-sdk/openai: Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider
@ai-sdk/mcp: MCP client for Vercel AI SDK
@composio/core: Composio SDK for tool integration
ai: Core Vercel AI SDK
dotenv: Environment variable management

Set up environment variables

bash

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's needed:

OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key for GPT model access
COMPOSIO_API_KEY: Your Composio API key for tool access
COMPOSIO_USER_ID: A unique identifier for the user session

Import required modules and validate environment

typescript

import "dotenv/config";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import * as readline from "readline";
import { streamText, type ModelMessage, stepCountIs } from "ai";
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";

const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID;

if (!process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) 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,
});

What's happening:

We're importing all necessary libraries including Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider and Composio
The dotenv/config import automatically loads environment variables
The MCP client import enables connection to Composio's tool server

Create Tool Router session and initialize MCP client

typescript

async function main() {
  // Create a tool router session for the user
  const session = await composio.create(composioUserID!, {
    toolkits: ["apiverve"],
  });

  const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;

What's happening:

We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Apiverve tools
The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
The returned mcp object contains the URL and authentication headers needed to connect to the MCP server
This session provides access to all Apiverve-related tools through the MCP protocol

Connect to MCP server and retrieve tools

typescript

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: "http",
    url: mcpUrl,
    headers: session.mcp.headers, // Authentication headers for the Composio MCP server
  },
});

const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

What's happening:

We're creating an MCP client that connects to our Composio Tool Router session via HTTP
The mcp.url provides the endpoint, and mcp.headers contains authentication credentials
The type: "http" is important - Composio requires HTTP transport
tools() retrieves all available Apiverve tools that the agent can use

Initialize conversation and CLI interface

typescript

let messages: ModelMessage[] = [];

console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n");
console.log(
  "Ask any questions related to apiverve, like summarize my last 5 emails, send an email, etc... :)))\n",
);

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  prompt: "> ",
});

rl.prompt();

What's happening:

We initialize an empty messages array to maintain conversation history
A readline interface is created to accept user input from the command line
Instructions are displayed to guide the user on how to interact with the agent

Handle user input and stream responses with real-time tool feedback

typescript

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({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput });
  console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n");

  try {
    const stream = streamText({
      model: openai("gpt-5"),
      messages,
      tools,
      toolChoice: "auto",
      stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
      onStepFinish: (step) => {
        for (const toolCall of step.toolCalls) {
          console.log(`[Using tool: ${toolCall.toolName}]`);
          }
          if (step.toolCalls.length > 0) {
            console.log(""); // Add space after tool calls
          }
        },
      });

      for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) {
        process.stdout.write(chunk);
      }

      console.log("\n\n---\n");

      // Get final result for message history
      const response = await stream.response;
      if (response?.messages?.length) {
        messages.push(...response.messages);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("\nAn error occurred while talking to the agent:");
      console.error(error);
      console.log(
        "\nYou can try again or restart the app if it keeps happening.\n",
      );
    } finally {
      rl.prompt();
    }
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    await mcpClient.close();
    console.log("\n👋 Session ended.");
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Fatal error:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});

What's happening:

We use streamText instead of generateText to stream responses in real-time
toolChoice: "auto" allows the model to decide when to use Apiverve tools
stopWhen: stepCountIs(10) allows up to 10 steps for complex multi-tool operations
onStepFinish callback displays which tools are being used in real-time
We iterate through the text stream to create a typewriter effect as the agent responds
The complete response is added to conversation history to maintain context
Errors are caught and displayed with helpful retry suggestions

TOOLKIT MARKETPLACE

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Apiverve MCP?

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

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Vercel AI SDK v6?

Yes, you can. Vercel AI SDK v6 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 Apiverve tools.

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

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