## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Ayrshare to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Ayrshare agent that can schedule daily posts for all platforms, delete a scheduled post by its id, fetch last week's post performance data through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Ayrshare account through Composio's Ayrshare 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 Ayrshare
- Configure an AI agent that can use Ayrshare as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Ayrshare 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 Ayrshare MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Ayrshare MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ayrshare account. It provides structured and secure access to your social media workflows, so your agent can perform actions like scheduling posts, managing recurring campaigns, fetching post analytics, and deleting content across platforms automatically.
- Automated post scheduling: Set up new auto-post schedules for consistent, hands-off content publishing at your preferred times and days.
- Recurring campaign management: Configure or update recurring posting patterns with customizable time slots and weekday filters to maximize reach.
- Historical post analytics and retrieval: Retrieve your entire Ayrshare post history along with performance metrics, filtering by date, status, or record count as needed.
- Seamless content removal: Delete published or scheduled posts efficiently by specifying their Ayrshare post ID, helping you manage content lifecycles and correct mistakes quickly.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `AYRSHARE_CREATE_AUTO_SCHEDULE` | Create Auto Schedule | Tool to create a new auto-post schedule with specified times and optional weekday filters. use when setting up recurring posting plans. |
| `AYRSHARE_DELETE_DELETE_POST` | Delete a previously published Ayrshare post | Tool to delete an ayrshare post. use when you need to remove a published or scheduled post by its ayrshare post id, after confirming the correct id. note: instagram and tiktok published posts cannot be deleted via api; set `mark manual deleted=true` or remove manually. |
| `AYRSHARE_GET_POST_HISTORY` | Get Post History | Tool to retrieve ayrshare post history with metrics. use when you need to fetch and filter past posts by date, status, or record count. |
| `AYRSHARE_POST_SET_AUTO_SCHEDULE` | Set Auto Schedule | Tool to set up an auto-post schedule with specified times and optional weekday filters. use when scheduling posts around a recurring pattern. |

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

The Ayrshare MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Ayrshare. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Ayrshare 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 Ayrshare 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 Ayrshare.
```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 ayrshare.
- The router checks the user's Ayrshare connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Ayrshare.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Ayrshare tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Ayrshare Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["ayrshare"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Ayrshare
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['ayrshare'],
});
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 Ayrshare. "
        "Help users perform Ayrshare 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 Ayrshare. Help users perform Ayrshare operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Ayrshare MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Ayrshare.
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 Ayrshare MCP?

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

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

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