## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Apollo to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Apollo agent that can bulk enrich profiles for new leads, add contacts to outreach sequence now, create a new sales deal for acme through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Apollo account through Composio's Apollo 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 and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Apollo
- Configure an AI agent that can use Apollo as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Apollo operations

## What is OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight framework for building AI agents that can use tools and maintain conversation state. It provides a simple interface for creating agents with hosted MCP tool support.
Key features include:
- Hosted MCP Tools: Connect to external services through hosted MCP endpoints
- SQLite Sessions: Persist conversation history across interactions
- Simple API: Clean interface with Agent, Runner, and tool configuration
- Streaming Support: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications

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

The Apollo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apollo account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM and lead generation data, so your agent can create contacts, enrich organizations, manage deals, update account stages, and automate tasks for your sales pipeline—all on your behalf.
- Contact and account creation: Instantly add new contacts or accounts to Apollo, linking them to organizations and stages to keep your CRM up to date with zero manual entry.
- Bulk data enrichment: Rapidly enrich multiple people or organizations at once, leveraging Apollo's database to fill gaps and update your records with the latest information.
- Sales opportunity and pipeline management: Let your agent create new deals, retrieve opportunity stages, and move accounts through your sales funnel to optimize pipeline performance.
- Automated outreach sequencing: Add contacts to email sequences, making it easy to launch targeted campaigns and follow-ups without lifting a finger.
- Task creation and label organization: Generate actionable Apollo tasks for your team and organize contacts or accounts with labels, so nothing slips through the cracks.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `APOLLO_ADD_CONTACTS_TO_SEQUENCE` | Add Contacts to Sequence | Adds contacts to a specified Apollo email sequence and returns the contact details. `sequence_id`, `emailer_campaign_id`, and `send_email_from_email_account_id` must be retrieved from Apollo listing/search endpoints before calling this tool — these IDs cannot be inferred from names. |
| `APOLLO_BULK_ORGANIZATION_ENRICHMENT` | Bulk organization enrichment | Enriches data for up to 10 organizations simultaneously by providing a list of their base company domains (e.g., 'apollo.io', not 'www.apollo.io'). Each call consumes Apollo credits per domain enriched; monitor quota to avoid exhaustion errors. |
| `APOLLO_BULK_PEOPLE_ENRICHMENT` | Bulk people enrichment | Use to enrich multiple person profiles simultaneously with comprehensive data from Apollo's database. Each call consumes Apollo credits; avoid re-enriching the same contacts. Responses may include null or missing fields (e.g., email, phone, organization); treat unmatched records as valid 'no match' outcomes, not errors. Heavy use may trigger HTTP 429; respect Retry-After headers. |
| `APOLLO_BULK_UPDATE_ACCOUNT_STAGE` | Bulk update account stage | Bulk updates the stage for specified existing Apollo.io accounts, moving them to a valid new account stage. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_ACCOUNT` | Create an Apollo account | Creates a new account in Apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner_id` or `account_stage_id` must be valid existing IDs. The response includes the new account's ID, which can be used directly in subsequent calls. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_BULK_ACCOUNTS` | Bulk create Apollo accounts | Creates multiple accounts in Apollo.io with a single API call (maximum 100 accounts per request). Use when creating multiple company records at once. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_BULK_CONTACTS` | Bulk create Apollo contacts | Tool to bulk create multiple contacts in Apollo with a single API call. Use when you need to create multiple contacts efficiently. Supports up to 100 contacts per request with optional deduplication. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_CALL_RECORD` | Create call record in Apollo | Tool to log call records in Apollo from external systems. Use when recording calls made through outside systems like Orum or Nooks; requires a master API key and cannot dial prospects directly. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_CONTACT` | Create Apollo contact | Creates a new contact in Apollo.io; use `account_id` to link to an organization and `contact_stage_id` for sales stage. Apollo does not auto-deduplicate — duplicate records sharing the same email are silently created; always search via APOLLO_SEARCH_CONTACTS before calling this tool. Requires explicit user confirmation before execution. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_CUSTOM_FIELD` | Create custom field | Creates a new custom field in Apollo.io for contacts, accounts, or opportunities. Use when you need to define additional data fields beyond Apollo's standard attributes. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_DEAL` | Create Apollo deal | Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in Apollo.io; all provided IDs (`owner_id`, `account_id`, `opportunity_stage_id`) must be valid existing Apollo identifiers. This action has persistent side effects — obtain explicit user confirmation before invoking. |
| `APOLLO_CREATE_TASK` | Create Apollo Task | Tool to create a single task in Apollo.io. Use when you need to add a new task to your team's Apollo account for a specific contact. The task will be assigned to a user and includes details like type, status, priority, due date, and optional notes. |
| `APOLLO_GET_ACCOUNT` | Get Account by ID | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific account by its Apollo ID. Use when you need to fetch complete account data including company details, contact information, and CRM integration fields. |
| `APOLLO_GET_AUTH_STATUS` | Check Apollo API key status | Tool to check whether the provided Apollo API key is valid and accepted by Apollo (health/auth check). Use when any Apollo endpoint returns 401/403/422 to quickly diagnose invalid/expired keys versus permission scope issues. If this succeeds but other endpoints return 403, it strongly suggests permissioning or master-key scope issues rather than a totally invalid credential. |
| `APOLLO_GET_CONTACT` | Get Apollo Contact | Retrieves detailed information about a specific contact by its ID. Use this to view contact details including name, email, phone numbers, organization, and custom fields. |
| `APOLLO_GET_DEAL` | Get Apollo deal | Retrieves information about a specific deal by its ID. Use this when you need to view details of a single deal. |
| `APOLLO_GET_LABELS` | Get Labels | Retrieves all labels from Apollo.io, used for organizing contacts and accounts. Call this before APOLLO_CREATE_CONTACT or APOLLO_UPDATE_ACCOUNT to validate label values against the returned list; mismatched labels cause 400/422 errors. |
| `APOLLO_GET_OPPORTUNITY_STAGES` | Get opportunity stages | Retrieves all configured opportunity (deal) stages from the Apollo.io account. |
| `APOLLO_GET_ORGANIZATION` | Get Organization by ID | Retrieves complete information about a specific organization by its Apollo ID. Use when you need detailed company data including funding, technologies, employee counts, and more. |
| `APOLLO_GET_ORGANIZATION_JOB_POSTINGS` | Get Organization Job Postings | Retrieves paginated job postings for a specified organization by its ID, optionally filtering by domain; ensure `organization_id` is a valid identifier. |
| `APOLLO_GET_TYPED_CUSTOM_FIELDS` | Get typed custom fields | Retrieves all typed custom field definitions available in the Apollo.io instance, detailing their types and configurations. Call before constructing payloads for APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT or APOLLO_UPDATE_ACCOUNT — mismatched types or invalid enum options cause 400 errors. |
| `APOLLO_LIST_ACCOUNT_STAGES` | List Apollo account stages | Retrieves the IDs for all available account stages in your team's Apollo account. |
| `APOLLO_LIST_CONTACT_STAGES` | List apollo contact stages | Retrieves all available contact stages from an Apollo account, including their unique IDs and names. |
| `APOLLO_LIST_DEALS` | List Apollo deals | Retrieves a list of deals from Apollo, using Apollo's default sort order if 'sort_by_field' is omitted. |
| `APOLLO_LIST_EMAIL_ACCOUNTS` | List email accounts | Retrieves all email accounts and their details for the authenticated user; takes no parameters. |
| `APOLLO_LIST_FIELDS` | List Fields | Retrieves all field definitions from Apollo.io, including system fields and custom fields. Use the optional 'source' parameter to filter by field type (system, custom, or crm_synced). |
| `APOLLO_LIST_USERS` | List Apollo Users | Retrieves a list of all users (teammates) associated with the Apollo account, supporting pagination via `page` and `per_page` parameters. Use this to obtain numeric user IDs required by operations like APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT_OWNERSHIP — names or email addresses are not accepted in place of these IDs. |
| `APOLLO_ORGANIZATION_ENRICHMENT` | Enrich organization data | Fetches comprehensive organization enrichment data from Apollo.io for a given company domain; results are most meaningful if the company exists in Apollo's database. Each call consumes Apollo credits and may be unavailable on free plans. Returns HTTP 429 under burst usage; use exponential backoff on retries. |
| `APOLLO_ORGANIZATION_SEARCH` | Search organizations in Apollo | Searches Apollo's database for organizations using various filters; consumes credits on every call (unavailable on free plans) — avoid re-running identical queries and surface quota errors rather than retrying. Retrieves a maximum of 50,000 records; uses `page` (1-500) and `per_page` (1-100) for pagination — check `total_pages` in the response to iterate. Overly strict filter combinations can return zero results; start broad and narrow iteratively. Empty results and `org_not_found` are valid outcomes, not errors. |
| `APOLLO_PEOPLE_ENRICHMENT` | Enrich person with Apollo | Enriches and retrieves information for a person from Apollo.io. Requires one of: `id`, `email`, `hashed_email`, `linkedin_url`, or (`first_name` and `last_name` with `organization_name` or `domain`) for matching. `webhook_url` must be provided if `reveal_phone_number` is true. Name-only inputs without `organization_name` or `domain` frequently return no matches. |
| `APOLLO_PEOPLE_SEARCH` | Apollo people search | Searches Apollo's contact database for people using various filters; results capped at 50,000 records and does not enrich contact data. Combining multiple strict filters (organization_ids, person_titles, person_seniorities) can return zero results — start broad and narrow iteratively. Result records may have null email, phone, or organization fields. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_ACCOUNTS` | Search Apollo Accounts | Searches for accounts within your existing Apollo.io database using various criteria; requires a paid plan and is limited to 50,000 records. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_CALLS` | Search for Calls | Searches for call records in Apollo.io using filters like date range, duration, direction (inbound/outgoing), users, contacts, purposes, outcomes, and keywords. Supports pagination for efficient data retrieval. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_CONTACTS` | Search Apollo contacts | Searches Apollo contacts using keywords, stage IDs (from 'List Contact Stages' action), or sorting (max 50,000 records; `sort_ascending` requires `sort_by_field`). Search before creating contacts to avoid duplicates. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_NEWS_ARTICLES` | Search news articles | Tool to search for news articles about companies in Apollo's database. Use when you need to find recent news, announcements, or updates about specific organizations using their Apollo IDs. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_OUTREACH_EMAILS` | Search outreach emails | Tool to search for outreach emails sent through Apollo sequences. Use when you need to find emails created and sent by your team as part of Apollo email campaigns. This endpoint requires a master API key and has a display limit of 50,000 records (100 records per page, up to 500 pages). |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_SEQUENCES` | Search sequences | Searches for sequences (e.g., automated email campaigns) in Apollo.io. |
| `APOLLO_SEARCH_TASKS` | Search tasks | Searches for tasks in Apollo.io using filters like keywords, date ranges (due, created, updated), priorities, types, assigned users, associated contacts/accounts, supporting sorting and pagination. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_ACCOUNT` | Update an Apollo account | Updates specified attributes of an existing account in Apollo.io. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_ACCOUNT_OWNERS` | Update account ownership | Updates the ownership of multiple Apollo accounts to a specified user. Use when bulk assigning account ownership to a team member. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CALL_RECORD` | Update Apollo call record | Tool to update an existing call record in Apollo.io. Use when you need to modify details of a previously logged phone call such as duration, status, notes, or associated contact/account information. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT` | Update Apollo contact details | Tool to update an existing contact's information in Apollo. Use when you need to modify contact details such as name, email, phone, title, organization, or custom fields. At least one field beyond contact_id must be provided. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT_OWNERSHIP` | Update contact ownership | Updates the ownership of specified Apollo contacts to a given Apollo user, who must be part of the same team. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACTS_BULK` | Bulk update Apollo contacts | Tool to bulk update multiple Apollo contacts with a single API call. Use when updating multiple contacts simultaneously - either apply the same updates to all contacts using contact_ids, or apply different updates to each contact using contact_attributes. Automatically processes asynchronously for more than 100 contacts. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT_STAGE` | Update contact stage | Updates the stage for one or more existing contacts in Apollo.io to a new valid contact stage, useful for managing sales funnel progression. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_CONTACT_STATUS_IN_SEQUENCE` | Update contact status in sequence | Updates a contact's status within a designated Apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'. |
| `APOLLO_UPDATE_DEALS` | Update Apollo deal | Updates specified fields of an existing Apollo.io deal (opportunity), requiring a valid `opportunity_id`. |
| `APOLLO_VIEW_API_USAGE_STATS` | View API Usage Stats | Fetches Apollo API usage statistics and rate limits for the connected team. Use before large enrichment/search runs to understand current API usage and plan/budget constraints. If experiencing 403s on credit/usage sensitive endpoints, use this tool to confirm whether the key has master privileges (this endpoint will 403 without a master key). |

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

The Apollo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Apollo. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Apollo 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:
- Composio API Key and OpenAI API Key
- Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
- A live Apollo project
- Some knowledge of Python or 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'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](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
```python
pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai-agents @openai/agents dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- You're importing all necessary libraries.
- The Composio and OpenAIAgentsProvider classes are imported to connect your OpenAI agent to Composio tools like Apollo.
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from composio import Composio
from composio_openai_agents import OpenAIAgentsProvider
from agents import Agent, Runner, HostedMCPTool, SQLiteSession
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIAgentsProvider } from '@composio/openai-agents';
import { Agent, hostedMcpTool, run, OpenAIConversationsSession } from '@openai/agents';
import * as readline from 'readline';
```

### 5. Set up the Composio instance

No description provided.
```python
load_dotenv()

api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")

if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key")

# Initialize Composio
composio = Composio(api_key=api_key, provider=OpenAIAgentsProvider())
```

```typescript
dotenv.config();

const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key');
}
if (!userId) {
  throw new Error('USER_ID is not set');
}

// Initialize Composio
const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioApiKey,
  provider: new OpenAIAgentsProvider(),
});
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What is happening:
- You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only apollo.
- The router checks the user's Apollo connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Apollo.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Apollo tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Apollo Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["apollo"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Apollo
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['apollo'],
});
const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent

No description provided.
```python
# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Apollo. "
        "Help users perform Apollo operations through natural language."
    ),
    tools=[
        HostedMCPTool(
            tool_config={
                "type": "mcp",
                "server_label": "tool_router",
                "server_url": mcp_url,
                "headers": {"x-api-key": api_key},
                "require_approval": "never",
            }
        )
    ],
)
```

```typescript
// Configure agent with MCP tool
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Assistant',
  model: 'gpt-5',
  instructions:
    'You are a helpful assistant that can access Apollo. Help users perform Apollo operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

### 8. Start chat loop and handle conversation

No description provided.
```python
print("\nComposio Tool Router session created.")

chat_session = SQLiteSession("conversation_openai_toolrouter")

print("\nChat started. Type your requests below.")
print("Commands: 'exit', 'quit', or 'q' to end\n")

async def main():
    try:
        result = await Runner.run(
            agent,
            "What can you help me with?",
            session=chat_session
        )
        print(f"Assistant: {result.final_output}\n")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}\n")

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "q"}:
            print("Goodbye!")
            break

        result = await Runner.run(
            agent,
            user_input,
            session=chat_session
        )
        print(f"Assistant: {result.final_output}\n")

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
// Keep conversation state across turns
const conversationSession = new OpenAIConversationsSession();

// Simple CLI
const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  prompt: 'You: ',
});

console.log('\nComposio Tool Router session created.');
console.log('\nChat started. Type your requests below.');
console.log("Commands: 'exit', 'quit', or 'q' to end\n");

try {
  const first = await run(agent, 'What can you help me with?', { session: conversationSession });
  console.log(`Assistant: ${first.finalOutput}\n`);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('Error:', e instanceof Error ? e.message : e, '\n');
}

rl.prompt();

rl.on('line', async (userInput) => {
  const text = userInput.trim();

  if (['exit', 'quit', 'q'].includes(text.toLowerCase())) {
    console.log('Goodbye!');
    rl.close();
    process.exit(0);
  }

  if (!text) {
    rl.prompt();
    return;
  }

  try {
    const result = await run(agent, text, { session: conversationSession });
    console.log(`\nAssistant: ${result.finalOutput}\n`);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Error:', e instanceof Error ? e.message : e, '\n');
  }

  rl.prompt();
});

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

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Apollo MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Apollo.
Key features:
- Hosted MCP tool integration through Composio's Tool Router
- SQLite session persistence for conversation history
- Simple async chat loop for interactive testing
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Apollo MCP?

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, you can. OpenAI Agents SDK 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 Apollo tools.

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

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