This guide will help you understand how to give your Mastra AI agent real control over a Conversion tools account through Composio's Conversion tools MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Conversion tools with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together - Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Conversion tools tools - Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL - Fetch Conversion tools tool definitions and attach them as a toolset - Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results - Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Conversion tools agent ## What is Mastra AI? Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP. Key features include: - MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers - Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups - Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution - OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai ## What is the Conversion tools MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Conversion tools MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Conversion tools account. It provides structured and secure access to a wide range of file and document conversion utilities, so your agent can convert documents, extract data, generate snapshots, and automate file handling between multiple formats on your behalf. - Seamless document format conversion: Effortlessly have your agent convert Excel, Word, Markdown, OXPS, or JPG files to formats like CSV, HTML, PDF, text, or JSON. - Website snapshot creation: Ask your agent to capture entire web pages as PDF documents or PNG images, ready to download or share. - Automated file upload and processing: Let your agent upload local files, obtain conversion-ready file IDs, and initiate multi-step conversion workflows. - AI-powered data extraction: Use AI tools to transform images (JPG) into structured JSON, streamlining data entry and analysis tasks. - Easy retrieval of conversion results: Direct your agent to track conversion tasks and download the final output files once processing is complete. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_EXCEL_TO_HTML` | Convert Excel to HTML | Convert an Excel (.xlsx) file to HTML table format. Use when you need to transform spreadsheet data into an HTML representation. Provide either a file upload or a public URL to the Excel file. Returns a task_id that can be used to check the conversion status and download the result once complete. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CONVERT_WORD_TO_TEXT` | Convert Word to Text | Convert Word documents (.doc/.docx) to plain text (.txt). The action uploads the document, waits for conversion to complete (up to ~60 seconds), and returns the task status with a URL to download the converted text file. Use when you need to extract text content from Word documents for further processing. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_CREATE_TASK` | Create Conversion Task | Tool to create a new conversion task. This is the main endpoint for performing conversions across 100+ conversion types including XML, JSON, Excel, PDF, CSV, images, audio/video, and more. Use when you need to convert any supported file format or website. Counts against quota unless sandbox mode is enabled. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_DOWNLOAD_FILE` | Download Converted File | Download a converted file from the Conversion Tools API using its file ID. Use this action after a conversion task completes successfully. The file_id is obtained from the task status response when status is 'SUCCESS'. Converted files are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Workflow: 1. Run a conversion task (e.g., convert_website_to_pdf) 2. Check task status until status is 'SUCCESS' 3. Use the file_id from the task response to download the result | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_GET_AUTH_INFO` | Get Auth Info | Tool to get information about the authenticated user including email address. Use when you need to verify API credentials or retrieve the user's email. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_GET_CONFIG` | Get Conversion Config | Tool to get available conversion types and their configuration. Returns the list of all supported conversions with their options. Use this to discover what conversions are available and what parameters they accept. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_GET_FILE_INFO` | Get File Info | Tool to get metadata about a file including size, name, and preview (for text files). Use when you need to retrieve information about a previously uploaded file. This does NOT count against your quota. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_GET_TASK_STATUS` | Get Task Status | Tool to get the status of a conversion task. Poll this endpoint until status is SUCCESS or ERROR. On SUCCESS, the response includes file_id which can be used to download the result file. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_LIST_TASKS` | List Conversion Tasks | Get all tasks for the authenticated user (up to 50 most recent tasks). Use this action to retrieve conversion task history, check task statuses, or find completed tasks for downloading results. This does NOT count against your API quota. Filter by status to retrieve only tasks in a specific state (PENDING, RUNNING, SUCCESS, or ERROR). | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_UPDATE_TASK_RETENTION` | Update Task Retention | Tool to update the retention mode for a task. Use when you need to change how long task files are kept before automatic deletion. Standard mode (standard_24h) retains files for 24 hours. TTL mode (ttl_15m) is for paid users only and deletes files after 15 minutes. | | `CONVERSION_TOOLS_UPLOAD_FILE` | Upload File | Upload a file to the ConversionTools API for subsequent conversion operations. This action uploads a file and returns a file_id that can be used with other conversion actions such as convert_word_to_text, convert_excel_to_csv, convert_oxps_to_pdf, etc. Supported formats include: documents (DOC, DOCX, PDF, TXT, RTF), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, CSV), images (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP), and various other file types. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Conversion tools MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Conversion tools. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Conversion tools 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: - Node.js 18 or higher - A Composio account with an active API key - An OpenAI API key - Basic familiarity with TypeScript ### 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 need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models. - Store the key somewhere safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Go to Settings and copy your API key. - This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Conversion tools through MCP. ### 2. Install dependencies Install the required packages. What's happening: - @composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions - @mastra/core provides the Agent class - @mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client - @ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI - dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio - COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to - OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import libraries and validate environment What's happening: - dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available - openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper - Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers - MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server - Composio is used to create a Tool Router session ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string, }); ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router session for Conversion tools What's happening: - create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user - The toolkits array contains "conversion_tools" for Conversion tools access - session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to ```typescript async function main() { const session = await composio.create( composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["conversion_tools"], }, ); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; console.log("Conversion tools MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl); ``` ### 6. Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools What's happening: - MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers - The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication - getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Conversion tools toolkit ```typescript const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { nasdaq: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio..."); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length); ``` ### 7. Create the Mastra agent What's happening: - Agent is the core Mastra agent - name is just an identifier for logging and debugging - instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language - model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM ```typescript const agent = new Agent({ name: "conversion_tools-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Conversion tools tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); ``` ### 8. Set up interactive chat interface What's happening: - messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format - agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Conversion tools toolsets - maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run - onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging ```typescript let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n"); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmedInput, }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const response = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { conversion_tools: composioTools, }, maxSteps: 8, }); const { text } = response; if (text && text.trim().length > 0) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text, }); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nError:", error); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { console.log("\nSession ended."); await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Complete Code ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent"; import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent"; const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey as string }); async function main() { const session = await composio.create(composioUserID as string, { toolkits: ["conversion_tools"], }); const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url; const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ id: composioUserID as string, servers: { conversion_tools: { url: new URL(composioMCPUrl), requestInit: { headers: session.mcp.headers, }, }, }, timeout: 30_000, }); const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools(); const agent = new Agent({ name: "conversion_tools-mastra-agent", instructions: "You are an AI agent with Conversion tools tools via Composio.", model: "openai/gpt-5", }); let messages: AiMessageType[] = []; const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (input: string) => { const trimmed = input.trim(); if (["exit", "quit"].includes(trimmed.toLowerCase())) { rl.close(); return; } messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmed }); const { text } = await agent.generate(messages, { toolsets: { conversion_tools: composioTools }, maxSteps: 8, }); if (text) { console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`); messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text }); } rl.prompt(); }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.disconnect(); process.exit(0); }); } main(); ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Mastra AI agent that can interact with Conversion tools through Composio's Tool Router. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, Slack, or GitHub - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows ## How to build Conversion tools MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/ai-sdk) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conversion_tools/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Drive](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googledrive) - Google Drive is a cloud storage platform for uploading, sharing, and collaborating on files.

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