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 Eventbrite MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Eventbrite MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Eventbrite account. It provides structured and secure access to your event management tools, so your agent can retrieve event categories, formats, and subcategories—making it simple to plan, organize, and customize events programmatically.

Discover event categories: Instantly access and list all available Eventbrite categories, helping you select the most relevant topics for your events.
Explore event formats: Let your agent fetch the variety of formats supported by Eventbrite, such as in-person, virtual, or hybrid, to tailor event structure on the fly.
Retrieve event subcategories: Quickly pull detailed subcategory options based on your selected category, ensuring precise event classification and audience targeting.
Localized event metadata retrieval: Enable your agent to localize categories, formats, and subcategories based on specific regions or languages, making global event planning seamless.

What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Composio SDK?

Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Composio SDK works

The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:

Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

Composio API Key and OpenAI API Key
Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
A live Eventbrite project
Some knowledge of Python or Typescript

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key

Go to the OpenAI dashboard 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.
Go to Settings and copy your API key.

Install dependencies

pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.

Set up environment variables

bash

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.

Import dependencies

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

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 Eventbrite.

Set up the Composio instance

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())

What's happening:

load_dotenv() loads your .env file so OPENAI_API_KEY and COMPOSIO_API_KEY are available as environment variables.
Creating a Composio instance using the API Key and OpenAIAgentsProvider class.

Create a Tool Router session

# Create a Eventbrite Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["eventbrite"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url

What is happening:

You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only eventbrite.
The router checks the user's Eventbrite connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Eventbrite.
This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Eventbrite tools only when needed during the conversation.

Configure the agent

# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Eventbrite. "
        "Help users perform Eventbrite 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",
            }
        )
    ],
)

What's happening:

We're creating an Agent instance with a name, model (gpt-5), and clear instructions about its purpose.
The agent's instructions tell it that it can access Eventbrite and help with queries, inserts, updates, authentication, and fetching database information.
The tools array includes a HostedMCPTool that connects to the MCP server URL we created earlier.
The headers dict includes the Composio API key for secure authentication with the MCP server.
require_approval: 'never' means the agent can execute Eventbrite operations without asking for permission each time, making interactions smoother.

Start chat loop and handle conversation

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?",
            session=chat_session
        )
        print(f"Assistant: {result.final_output}\n")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}\n")

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        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")

asyncio.run(main())

What's happening:

The program prints a session URL that you visit to authorize Eventbrite.
After authorization, the chat begins.
Each message you type is processed by the agent using Runner.run().
The responses are printed to the console, and conversations are saved locally using SQLite.
Typing exit, quit, or q cleanly ends the chat.

            "What can you help me with?",
            session=chat_session
        )
        print(f"Assistant: {result.final_output}\n")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}\n")

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        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")

asyncio.run(main())

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Eventbrite MCP?

With a standalone Eventbrite MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Eventbrite tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Eventbrite 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 Eventbrite tools.

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

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