This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Btcpay server account through Composio's Btcpay server MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Btcpay server with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Btcpay server - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Btcpay server tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Btcpay server operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Btcpay server MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Btcpay server MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Btcpay server account. It provides structured and secure access to your Bitcoin payment infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like creating payment requests, managing stores, handling API keys, and automating webhooks on your behalf. - Automated payment request creation: Instruct your agent to generate new payment requests for your stores, making it simple to accept Bitcoin payments from customers without manual setup. - Store management and provisioning: Let your agent create, configure, or remove stores in your Btcpay server environment to support multiple business units or projects. - API key administration: Ask your agent to list, retrieve, or revoke API keys, streamlining secure access control for developers and integrations. - Webhook registration for event automation: Enable your agent to register webhooks, so you can receive instant notifications or trigger workflows when key payment or store events occur. - User and payout management: Have the agent create new server users programmatically or delete store payouts that are no longer needed, giving you granular control over your payment operations. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BTCPAY_SERVER_CREATE_PAYMENT_REQUEST` | Create Payment Request | Creates a new payment request in a BTCPay Server store. Payment requests are shareable pages where customers can create invoices to pay the requested amount. Unlike direct invoices, payment requests can be reused and allow customers to initiate payments themselves. Use this after obtaining a valid store ID from the create_store or get_store actions. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_CREATE_STORE` | Create Store | Tool to create a new store in BTCPay Server. Use when you need to provision a new store before processing transactions. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_CREATE_USER` | Create BTCPay Server User | Tool to create a new BTCPay Server user. Use when you need to register a new user programmatically as an administrator. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_CREATE_WEBHOOK` | Register a Webhook | Registers a new webhook for a BTCPay store to receive real-time notifications when store events occur (e.g., invoice created, payment received, invoice settled). The webhook endpoint receives POST requests with event payloads signed using an HMAC secret for verification. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_DELETE_API_KEY` | Delete API Key | Revoke a specific API key to immediately prevent its use for authentication. Use this tool when you need to disable an API key, such as when rotating credentials or when a key may have been compromised. The revocation takes effect immediately. Note: This action requires authentication with an API key that has user management permissions. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_DELETE_PAYMENT_REQUEST` | Delete Payment Request | Deletes (archives) a specific payment request from a BTCPay Server store. Use this tool when you need to remove or archive an existing payment request. The payment request will be marked as archived and will no longer be active. This operation requires the 'btcpay.store.canmodifypaymentrequests' API permission. Note: This is a destructive operation - once deleted, the payment request cannot be restored. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_DELETE_PAYOUT` | Cancel Store Payout | Cancels (deletes) a specific payout from a BTCPay Server store. Use this tool when you need to cancel a pending payout that is no longer needed. Only payouts in 'AwaitingApproval' or 'AwaitingPayment' state can be canceled. Payouts that have already been processed or completed cannot be canceled. Requires the 'btcpay.store.canmanagepayouts' permission on the API key. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_API_KEYS` | Get Current API Key | Retrieve information about the current API key. Returns details including the API key string, its label, and the permissions it has been granted. Use this to verify authentication is working and to check what permissions the current API key has. Note: BTCPay Server only provides access to the current API key, not all API keys associated with the user account. This tool is read-only; it cannot create, modify, or delete API keys. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_PAYMENT_REQUESTS` | Get Payment Requests | Tool to list all payment requests for a specific store. Use after confirming you have the store ID. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_SERVER_INFO` | Get BTCPay Server Info | Tool to retrieve information about the BTCPay Server instance. Use when needing server version, tor address, supported payment methods, and synchronization states. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_STORE` | Get Store | Retrieves complete configuration and settings for a specific BTCPay Server store by its ID. Use this tool when you need to: - Get current store settings and configuration - Check store properties like payment methods, currency, invoice expiration, etc. - Verify store exists and is accessible - Retrieve branding/display settings (logo, colors, checkout page settings) Returns comprehensive store data including payment settings, checkout configuration, and branding. Results are scoped to the authenticated user's permissions; insufficient permissions may return restricted or empty data rather than an explicit error. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_USER` | Get BTCPay Server User | Retrieve information about a BTCPay Server user by ID or email. Use 'me' as the id_or_email parameter to get the currently authenticated user's profile. Alternatively, provide a specific user ID (UUID) or email address to retrieve another user's information. Requires API key with 'btcpay.user.canviewprofile' permission scope. Note: Viewing other users' profiles requires server administrator privileges. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_WEBHOOK` | Get Store Webhook | Retrieves detailed configuration of a specific webhook registered for a BTCPay store, including its callback URL, subscribed events, enabled status, and automatic redelivery settings. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_GET_WEBHOOKS` | List Store Webhooks | Lists all webhooks registered for a BTCPay Server store. Use this to retrieve webhook configurations for management, auditing, or to find webhook IDs for update/delete operations. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_LIST_APPS` | List Apps | Retrieve all apps (Point of Sale, Crowdfund, etc.) associated with a specific BTCPay Server store. Returns basic metadata for each app including its ID, name, type, creation timestamp, and archived status. Use this tool when you need to enumerate or discover apps configured within a store. | | `BTCPAY_SERVER_UPDATE_USER` | Update BTCPay Server User | Update the profile of the currently authenticated BTCPay Server user. Use this tool to modify user profile settings like display name, email, profile picture, or password. All fields are optional - only provide fields you want to change. Requires API key with 'btcpay.user.canmodifyprofile' permission scope. Note: Password changes require both currentPassword and newPassword to be provided. Email changes may require re-verification depending on server configuration. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Btcpay server MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Btcpay server. Instead of manually wiring Btcpay server APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. 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 You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Btcpay server account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 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). - 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 Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Btcpay server via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Btcpay server connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Btcpay server tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Btcpay server session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["btcpay_server"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Btcpay server tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Btcpay server assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="btcpay_server_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Btcpay server operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Btcpay server tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Btcpay server related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Btcpay server session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["btcpay_server"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Btcpay server assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="btcpay_server_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Btcpay server operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Btcpay server related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Btcpay server through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Btcpay server, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Btcpay server MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/btcpay_server/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Addresszen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/addresszen) - Addresszen is a real-time address autocomplete and verification service.

With a standalone Btcpay server MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Btcpay server tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Btcpay server and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Autogen? Yes, you can. Autogen 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 Btcpay server tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Btcpay server while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Btcpay server 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 Btcpay server data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
