## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Appointo to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Appointo agent that can list all upcoming appointments for today, reschedule a customer booking to next week, create a new appointment for a client through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Appointo account through Composio's Appointo 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 Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Appointo
- Configure an AI agent that can use Appointo as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Appointo operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

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

The Appointo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Appointo account. It is designed to provide structured and secure access to your Appointo appointment booking system, enabling your agent to interact with scheduling and booking operations for your Shopify store. However, at this time, no actionable tools are available for agents to perform automated tasks through the MCP server.
- Appointment management integration: Connect your AI agent to your Appointo account for potential future automation of appointment creation, rescheduling, or cancellations.
- Booking synchronization: Lay the groundwork for syncing booking data between your Shopify store and AI-driven assistants as more features become available.
- Real-time schedule access: Prepare your AI agent to fetch, review, or display booking schedules (when supported by future Appointo tools).
- Customer assistance automation: Enable your agent to support customers with inquiries about appointments, once actionable capabilities are added.

## Supported Tools

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

The Appointo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Appointo. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Appointo 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 Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Appointo account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- 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).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

### 2. Install dependencies

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk @composio/core dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

No description provided.
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import readline from 'node:readline';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { query, type Options } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with Appointo through Composio's Tool Router.
Key features:
- Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework
- Streaming responses for real-time interaction
- Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows
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 Appointo MCP?

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent 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 Appointo tools.

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

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