## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Cults to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Cults agent that can list your latest uploaded 3d models, share a new 3d file creation link, fetch approved sharing domains for your account through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Cults account through Composio's Cults MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Cults
- Configure an AI agent that can use Cults as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Cults operations

## What is OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight framework for building AI agents that can use tools and maintain conversation state. It provides a simple interface for creating agents with hosted MCP tool support.
Key features include:
- Hosted MCP Tools: Connect to external services through hosted MCP endpoints
- SQLite Sessions: Persist conversation history across interactions
- Simple API: Clean interface with Agent, Runner, and tool configuration
- Streaming Support: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications

## What is the Cults MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Cults MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cults account. It provides structured and secure access to your Cults digital marketplace, so your agent can perform actions like sharing new 3D creations, executing advanced queries, and managing approved sharing origins for your designs.
- Fetch approved sharing origins: Instantly retrieve the list of domains authorized to share your 3D models, making it easy to manage and validate sharing destinations.
- Automate GraphQL queries and mutations: Use your agent to run powerful GraphQL operations against the Cults API for custom data retrieval or updates—perfect for creators who need flexibility.
- One-click sharing of new creations (FR): Quickly generate pre-filled links to share your latest 3D files on Cults (in French locale), streamlining the publishing workflow for designers.
- Manage digital assets programmatically: Enable your agent to interact with your Cults account to organize, update, or extend your digital portfolio through the available tools.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CULTS_GET_APPROVED_ORIGINS` | Get Approved Origins | Inspects the Cults creation page to detect any sharing origin information. Note: Cults requires origins to be manually approved via support contact before use with the Share on Create feature. This action attempts to parse the creation page for origin-related data but may return empty results. For guaranteed origin information, contact Cults support directly at https://cults3d.com/en/api. |
| `CULTS_GRAPH_QL_POST` | Cults GraphQL POST | Execute GraphQL queries and mutations against the Cults3D API. Cults3D is a marketplace for 3D printable models. This tool provides access to: - Browse and search 3D model designs (creations) - View user profiles and their uploaded models - Access your own account data, sales, and printlists (via 'myself' query) - Manage your creations and discounts (via mutations) The API uses standard GraphQL syntax. Query the schema for available fields. Note: 3D model files themselves are not accessible via the API, only metadata. |
| `CULTS_SHARE_ON_CREATE_FR` | Share on Create (FR) | Generate a one-click share URL for publishing a 3D file to Cults (French locale). This tool constructs a shareable link that, when clicked by users, takes them to the Cults creation page with the 3D file URL pre-filled. This enables seamless sharing of 3D models from your platform to Cults. Prerequisites: - Your site/origin must be pre-approved by Cults for share integration - The file_url must point to a publicly accessible 3D file Note: This action generates the URL without making an API call, so it always succeeds as long as the parameters are valid. Users will need to be logged into Cults to complete the sharing process. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Cults MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Cults. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Cults 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 OpenAI API Key
- Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
- A live Cults project
- Some knowledge of Python or 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'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).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
```python
pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai-agents @openai/agents dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- You're importing all necessary libraries.
- The Composio and OpenAIAgentsProvider classes are imported to connect your OpenAI agent to Composio tools like Cults.
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from composio import Composio
from composio_openai_agents import OpenAIAgentsProvider
from agents import Agent, Runner, HostedMCPTool, SQLiteSession
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIAgentsProvider } from '@composio/openai-agents';
import { Agent, hostedMcpTool, run, OpenAIConversationsSession } from '@openai/agents';
import * as readline from 'readline';
```

### 5. Set up the Composio instance

No description provided.
```python
load_dotenv()

api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")

if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key")

# Initialize Composio
composio = Composio(api_key=api_key, provider=OpenAIAgentsProvider())
```

```typescript
dotenv.config();

const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key');
}
if (!userId) {
  throw new Error('USER_ID is not set');
}

// Initialize Composio
const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioApiKey,
  provider: new OpenAIAgentsProvider(),
});
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What is happening:
- You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only cults.
- The router checks the user's Cults connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Cults.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Cults tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Cults Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["cults"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Cults
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['cults'],
});
const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent

No description provided.
```python
# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Cults. "
        "Help users perform Cults operations through natural language."
    ),
    tools=[
        HostedMCPTool(
            tool_config={
                "type": "mcp",
                "server_label": "tool_router",
                "server_url": mcp_url,
                "headers": {"x-api-key": api_key},
                "require_approval": "never",
            }
        )
    ],
)
```

```typescript
// Configure agent with MCP tool
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Assistant',
  model: 'gpt-5',
  instructions:
    'You are a helpful assistant that can access Cults. Help users perform Cults operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

### 8. Start chat loop and handle conversation

No description provided.
```python
print("\nComposio Tool Router session created.")

chat_session = SQLiteSession("conversation_openai_toolrouter")

print("\nChat started. Type your requests below.")
print("Commands: 'exit', 'quit', or 'q' to end\n")

async def main():
    try:
        result = await Runner.run(
            agent,
            "What can you help me with?",

        if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "q"}:
            print("Goodbye!")
            break

        result = await Runner.run(
            agent,
            user_input,
            session=chat_session
        )
        print(f"Assistant: {result.final_output}\n")

  prompt: 'You: ',
});

console.log('\nComposio Tool Router session created.');
console.log('\nChat started. Type your requests below.');
console.log("Commands: 'exit', 'quit', or 'q' to end\n");

try {
  const first = await run(agent, 'What can you help me with?', { session: conversationSession });
  console.log(`Assistant: ${first.finalOutput}\n`);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('Error:', e instanceof Error ? e.message : e, '\n');
}

rl.prompt();

rl.on('line', async (userInput) => {
  const text = userInput.trim();

  if (['exit', 'quit', 'q'].includes(text.toLowerCase())) {
    console.log('Goodbye!');
    rl.close();
    process.exit(0);
  }

  if (!text) {
    rl.prompt();
    return;
  }

  try {
    const result = await run(agent, text, { session: conversationSession });
    console.log(`\nAssistant: ${result.finalOutput}\n`);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Error:', e instanceof Error ? e.message : e, '\n');
  }

  rl.prompt();
});

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Cults MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Cults.
Key features:
- Hosted MCP tool integration through Composio's Tool Router
- SQLite session persistence for conversation history
- Simple async chat loop for interactive testing
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Cults MCP?

With a standalone Cults MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Cults tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Cults and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, you can. OpenAI Agents 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 Cults tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Cults while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Cults 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 Cults data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
