## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BOTSTER_CALCULATE_BOT_COST` | Calculate Bot Cost | Calculate the credit price of one intended bot launch using the same input and bot-specific options, without launching the bot or spending credits. |
| `BOTSTER_DELETE_JOB` | Delete Job | Permanently delete one Botster job. This destructive action cannot be undone, is not the same as archiving, and may remove access to the job's run history. |
| `BOTSTER_DELETE_RUN` | Delete Run | Permanently delete one Botster data run and its stored results without deleting the entire job. This destructive operation cannot be undone. |
| `BOTSTER_GET_CREDITS` | Get Credit Balance | Return the connected Botster account's available credit balance; use this before launching or restarting credit-consuming work. |
| `BOTSTER_GET_JOB` | Get Job | Get one job's status and data-run identifiers required to retrieve run results. The complete provider job object is returned without discarding bot-specific fields. |
| `BOTSTER_GET_RUN_RESULTS` | Get Run Results | Return the complete bot-specific JSON for one data run identified from GET_JOB in the results field. The provider's result shape is preserved. |
| `BOTSTER_LAUNCH_BOT` | Launch Bot | Launch a Botster bot, creating external work that may spend account credits. Use CALCULATE_BOT_COST with the same input and options first when cost matters. Returns launch metadata and normalizes an identifiable job identifier to job_id. |
| `BOTSTER_LIST_BOTS` | List Bots | List or search bots available to the connected account and return their identifiers for cost calculation and launch. |
| `BOTSTER_LIST_JOBS` | List Jobs | List jobs belonging to the connected Botster account and return job identifiers for inspection or lifecycle actions. |
| `BOTSTER_RESTART_JOB` | Restart Job | Restart an existing Botster job, creating renewed external work that may repeat the bot's effects and spend additional account credits. The renewed job identity may differ from the original; returns all provider restart metadata. |
| `BOTSTER_SET_JOB_ARCHIVED` | Set Job Archived | Archive a Botster job or restore it from the archive by setting its desired archived state. This reversible action changes organization state but does not delete the job. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
```python
pip install composio composio_openai openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Create a Composio session

Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Botster
```python
import json
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
client = OpenAI()

session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["botster"])
tools = session.tools()
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["botster"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Run Botster tools with your agent

Send a request, execute the Botster tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
```python
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools=tools,
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results"}],
)

while True:
    tool_calls = [o for o in response.output if o.type == "function_call"]
    if not tool_calls:
        break
    results = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)
    response = client.responses.create(
        model="gpt-5.6-sol",
        tools=tools,
        previous_response_id=response.id,
        input=[
            {"type": "function_call_output", "call_id": call.call_id, "output": json.dumps(results[i])}
            for i, call in enumerate(tool_calls)
        ],
    )

print(response.output_text)
```

```typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create a session with MCP enabled

Create a session scoped to Botster and read its MCP URL and headers
```python
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["botster"], mcp=True)
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["botster"],
  mcp: true,
});
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect your agent to the MCP server

Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Botster request
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions, AssistantMessage, TextBlock

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": session.mcp.url,
            "headers": session.mcp.headers,
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Botster tools.",
    tools=[],
    allowed_tools=["mcp__composio__*"],
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results")
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if isinstance(message, AssistantMessage):
                for block in message.content:
                    if isinstance(block, TextBlock):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
```

## Why Use Composio?
