## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BROWSER_TOOL_CREATE_TASK` | Run Browser Task | Run an AI-powered browser automation task. The AI agent will control a cloud browser to complete your task. It can: - Navigate websites, click buttons, fill forms - Extract data and return results - Handle multi-step workflows (login -> navigate -> extract) - Solve CAPTCHAs and handle dynamic content If there is no running browser session in context, call CreateTask to start one. AFTER CREATING A TASK: 1. Use GetSession with browser_session_id to get the liveUrl - share with user to watch live 2. Use WatchTask with watch_task_id to check progress and get the final result 3. Use StopTask if you need to abort TIPS FOR GOOD TASKS: - Be specific: "Click login, enter email 'test@test.com', click submit" - Break complex workflows into smaller tasks |
| `BROWSER_TOOL_GET_OUTPUT_FILE` | Download Task File | Get a download URL for a file generated by a task. When a task downloads or creates files (PDFs, images, spreadsheets, etc.), they appear in WatchTask's outputFiles list. Use this to get a download URL. The download URL is temporary (presigned) - download promptly. |
| `BROWSER_TOOL_GET_SESSION` | Get Session Live URL | Get the live URL to watch a browser session in real-time. Call this right after CreateTask to get the liveUrl. Always share this URL with the user so they can watch the AI agent working in the browser. The liveUrl opens a visual stream showing exactly what the browser agent sees and does. |
| `BROWSER_TOOL_STOP_TASK` | Stop Browser Task | Kill a browser task and its session. Use this when the browser agent is in a bad state: - Task is stuck or taking too long - WatchTask shows the agent going in the wrong direction - Agent is looping or making no progress After stopping, call CreateTask again to start fresh with a new browser. |
| `BROWSER_TOOL_WATCH_TASK` | Watch Browser Task | Poll a browser task to check progress and get results. Call this after CreateTask to monitor the task: - status='started' means still running, poll again - status='finished' means done, check output and is_success - status='stopped' means aborted - status='failed' means an error occurred Returns what the agent is doing (current_goal, current_url), screenshots from each step, and any files generated. If the agent is going wrong, use StopTask to kill it and start fresh. |

## 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 Browser tool Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Browser tool actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Copy all highlighted text from the webpage'
  }]
)
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: 'Copy all highlighted text from the webpage'
  }],
});
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 and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

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

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```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' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

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

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```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 Browser tool tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Fetch webpage content of https://news.ycombinator.com')
        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, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: 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: 'Fetch webpage content of https://news.ycombinator.com' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(5)
});

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