## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Botster MCP or direct API to launch data collection jobs, monitor bot runs, fetch structured results, and manage scraping workflows through natural language.

## Summary

Botster is a web automation service for running configurable data collection bots.
Use it to collect structured web data without building and maintaining scrapers yourself.

## Categories

- workflow automation

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 11

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for Botster.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for Botster.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- Run competitor pricing collection bot
- Check latest Botster job status
- Summarize structured results from Botster

## 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
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

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

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

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

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Botster Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Botster actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Run my Botster competitor pricing bot and return the latest structured results'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

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

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

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

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Botster
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

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

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Botster tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Check the status of my latest Botster web data collection job')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Check the status of my latest Botster web data collection job'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Why Use Composio?

### 1. AI Native Botster Integration

- Supports both Botster MCP and direct API based integrations
- Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable bot and job execution
- Rich coverage for launching data collection jobs, checking run status, and reading structured Botster results
