You can also use mcp.create() when creating dedicated MCP servers. ```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 DEV Community tools.', max_turns=10 ) async def main(): async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client: await client.query('Find trending JavaScript posts on DEV Community and summarize the top themes') 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: 'Find trending JavaScript posts on DEV Community and summarize the top themes' }], maxSteps: 5, }); console.log(`Agent: ${text}`); ``` ## Why Use Composio? ### 1. AI Native DEV Community Integration - Supports both DEV Community MCP and direct API based integrations - Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable article, user, and tag actions - Rich coverage for reading posts, publishing content, and querying DEV Community data ### 2. Managed Auth - Securely store DEV Community API keys instead of hard-coding them in agent code - Use auth_configs.create() and connected_accounts.link() to connect each user's DEV account safely - Manage, scope, and revoke DEV Community access from one central place ### 3. Agent Optimized Design - Tools are tuned for AI agents, so article and profile actions are easier for models to call correctly - Clear execution logs show what your agent did on DEV Community, when it ran, and which user it acted for - Less glue code, fewer brittle API calls, and more time building useful publishing workflows ### 4. Enterprise Grade Security - Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access DEV Community - Scoped, least privilege access for DEV Community publishing and read actions - Full audit trail of agent actions to support review, debugging, and compliance ## Use DEV Community with any AI Agent Framework Choose a framework you want to connect DEV Community with: - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/devto/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Twitter](https://composio.dev/toolkits/twitter) - Twitter is a social media platform for sharing real-time updates, conversations, and news.
