## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CARDCLAN_CREATE_INTEGRATION_CONFIG` | Create Integration Configuration | Create a persistent CardClan integration configuration linking a card to its workspace. The connected user's ID is resolved automatically. |
| `CARDCLAN_GENERATE_CARD_URL` | Generate Personalized Card URL | Generate a personalized CardClan viewing URL without sending an email. This may create recipient-specific CardClan state but does not deliver a message. |
| `CARDCLAN_GET_CARD_DETAILS` | Get Card Details | Get a CardClan card's title, merge-tag requirements, and owning workspace details by card ID. |
| `CARDCLAN_GET_INTEGRATION_CONFIG` | Get Integration Configuration | Get a CardClan integration configuration by either integration ID or card ID. |
| `CARDCLAN_LIST_CARDS` | List Cards | List cards in a CardClan workspace, including card IDs needed for details, integration configuration, personalized links, and sending. |
| `CARDCLAN_LIST_EMAIL_ACCOUNTS` | List Email Accounts | List configured CardClan sender accounts that can be selected when sending a card. |
| `CARDCLAN_LIST_WORKFLOW_CARDS` | List Workflow Cards | List cards with active CardClan integration workflows and return their integration, card, and workspace IDs. |
| `CARDCLAN_LIST_WORKSPACES` | List Workspaces | List CardClan workspaces accessible to the connected account, including the workspace IDs needed to find cards and create integration configurations. |
| `CARDCLAN_SEND_CARD` | Send Card | Immediately personalize and send a CardClan card by email to one or more recipients. This externally side-effecting operation is irreversible; use GENERATE_CARD_URL when delivery is not intended. |

## 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 CardClan Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute CardClan actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Create a personalized birthday card link for Alex from the Product team'
  }]
)
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: 'Create a personalized birthday card link for Alex from the Product team'
  }],
});
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 CardClan
```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 CardClan tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Create a personalized birthday card link for Alex from the Product team')
        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: 'Create a personalized birthday card link for Alex from the Product team'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

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