By the end, you'll have a working Cody agent that can summarize key findings from q2 reports, find policy details on employee benefits, draft onboarding checklist for new hires through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Cody account through Composio's Cody MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Cody with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/cody/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys - Install the necessary dependencies - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Cody - Configure an AI agent that can use Cody as a tool - Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Cody operations ## What is Claude Agent SDK? The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management. Key features include: - Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers - Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions - Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications - Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions ## What is the Cody MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Cody MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cody account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Cody operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CODY_CREATE_CONVERSATION` | Create Conversation | Tool to create a new conversation with a specified bot.

It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Cody operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface. 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 Before starting, make sure you have: - Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key - Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK - A Cody account - Some knowledge of Python ### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio Claude/Anthropic API Key - Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models. - 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.

Create client and start chat loop No description provided. ```python # Create client with context manager async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client: print("\nChat started. Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") # Main chat loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit"}: print("Goodbye!") break # Send query await client.query(user_input) # Receive and print response print("Claude: ", end="", flush=True) async for message in client.receive_response(): if hasattr(message, "content"): for block in message.content: if hasattr(block, "text"): print(block.text, end="", flush=True) print() ``` ```typescript const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: 'You: ' }); console.log('\nChat started. Type "exit" to quit.\n'); let isProcessing = false; async function ask(prompt: string) { isProcessing = true; rl.pause(); process.stdout.write('Claude is thinking...'); const stream = query({ prompt, options }); let firstChunk = true; for await (const msg of stream) { const content = (msg as any).message?.content || (msg as any).content; if (Array.isArray(content)) { for (const block of content) { if (block.type === 'text' && block.text) { if (firstChunk) { process.stdout.write('\r\x1b[K'); process.stdout.write('Claude: '); firstChunk = false; } process.stdout.write(block.text); } } } } process.stdout.write('\n\n'); isProcessing = false; rl.resume(); rl.prompt(); } rl.on('line', async (line) => { if (isProcessing) return; const input = line.trim(); if (input === 'exit') { rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (input) await ask(input); else rl.prompt(); }); await ask('What can you help me with?'); } ``` ### 8.

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