By the end, you'll have a working Expofp agent that can add new category 'workshops' to event 1023, list all extras available for expo 2048, update category #7 name to 'vip sessions' through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Expofp account through Composio's Expofp MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Expofp with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Expofp - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Expofp tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Expofp operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Expofp MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Expofp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Expofp account. It provides structured and secure access to your expo and floor plan data, so your agent can manage categories, list expo details, and streamline event organization tasks for you. - Seamless expo management: Instantly list all expos linked to your Expofp account, making it easy to keep track of multiple events. - Effortless category creation: Direct your agent to add new categories to any expo, supporting better organization and event structure in seconds. - Category updates and edits: Quickly update existing category names or details for any event, so your event structure always matches your latest needs. - Streamlined category removal: Have the agent remove outdated or unnecessary categories from your expos, keeping your event data clean and relevant. - Comprehensive extras listing: Retrieve all extras for a specific expo, helping you review and manage additional event options or features at a glance. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `EXPOFP_ADD_CATEGORY` | Add Category | Tool to add a new category to an expo. Use when you have both the expo event ID and a valid API token. Example: "Add category 'Keynotes' to event 2655." | | `EXPOFP_DELETE_EXHIBITOR` | Delete Exhibitor | Tool to delete an exhibitor from an expo by their ID. Use when you have the exhibitor ID and a valid API token. | | `EXPOFP_DELETE_SESSION_SPEAKERS` | Delete Session Speakers | Tool to delete session speakers by their IDs. Use when you need to remove one or more session speakers from an expo. | | `EXPOFP_DELETE_SESSION_TRACKS` | Delete Session Tracks | Tool to delete session tracks by IDs from an expo. Use when you need to remove multiple session tracks. Provide the expo ID, API token, and list of session track IDs to delete. | | `EXPOFP_GET_BULK_READ_EXHIBITORS_TEMPLATE` | Get Bulk Read Exhibitors Template | Tool to get the template structure for bulk reading exhibitors from an expo. Use when you need to understand the required format for bulk importing exhibitor data. | | `EXPOFP_GET_OFFLINE_ARCHIVE` | Get Offline Archive | Lightweight retrieval of offline archive state that never starts a build. Returns the current known ExpoOfflineState for the specified version if available, or null if not. Use when you need to check the status of an existing archive without triggering a new build. | | `EXPOFP_GET_OR_CREATE_OFFLINE_ARCHIVE` | Get or Create Offline Archive | Retrieve the offline archive state for a specific expo version. If the archive does not exist and the requested version is 'latest', the server automatically starts the creation process and returns the build state. Use this action when you need to download an expo for offline use or check the status of an ongoing archive build. The optional waitseconds parameter enables server-side polling for synchronous workflows. | | `EXPOFP_GET_SESSION_TRACKS` | Get Session Tracks | Retrieve all session tracks for a specific expo event. Session tracks are categories or themes used to organize sessions within an expo, such as "Technology", "Marketing", "Product", etc. This action returns the complete list of tracks with their IDs, names, external IDs, and color codes. Use this action when you need to categorize or filter sessions by track. Example: "Get all session tracks for expo 32971" | | `EXPOFP_LIST_ALL_EXPO_EXTRAS` | List All Expo Extras | Retrieves all extras (additional services/items) available for a specific expo event, including general extras and booth-specific extras with exhibitor details. Use this action to get a comprehensive list of purchasable extras for an event. Example: "List all extras for event 2655." | | `EXPOFP_LIST_ALL_EXPOS` | List All Expos | Retrieve all expos (events/exhibitions) accessible with the authenticated ExpoFP account. This action fetches a complete list of expos with their details including event IDs, names, descriptions, dates, time zones, locations, and status. The expo IDs returned can be used with other ExpofP actions that require an event ID parameter. No input parameters are required - the action uses the authentication token to determine which expos the user has access to. Example usage: - "List all my expos" - "Show me all available events" - "Get all expo IDs" | | `EXPOFP_LIST_CATEGORIES` | List Categories | Retrieve all categories for a specific expo event. This action fetches a complete list of categories with their IDs and names for a given expo. The category IDs returned can be used with other ExpofP actions that require a category ID parameter (e.g., updating or removing categories). Use this action when you need to see all categories configured for an expo. Example: "List all categories for event 32971" or "Show me categories for expo 2655". | | `EXPOFP_LIST_EXHIBITORS` | Bulk Read Exhibitors | Tool to bulk read exhibitors from an expo with customizable response template. This action retrieves all exhibitors from a specified expo. You can optionally provide a response template to control which fields are returned, or pass null/omit the template to receive all available exhibitor data. Use when you need to fetch exhibitor information from an expo event. The expo ID can be obtained from the List All Expos action. | | `EXPOFP_REMOVE_CATEGORY` | Remove Category | Tool to remove a category from an expo. Use when you have the category ID and a valid API token. Example: "Remove category #123." | | `EXPOFP_SET_EXHIBITOR_LOGO` | Set Exhibitor Logo | Tool to set or remove an exhibitor logo using multipart/form-data. Use when you need to upload a logo image file or provide an image URL for an exhibitor, or remove an existing logo by passing null for the image file. | | `EXPOFP_UPDATE_CATEGORY` | Update Category | Tool to update an existing category. Use when you have the category ID and a valid API token. Example: "Update category #1 name to 'Category Blue'." | | `EXPOFP_UPDATE_EXHIBITOR` | Update Exhibitor | Tool to update an existing exhibitor. Use when you have the exhibitor ID and want to modify exhibitor details. Only fields provided in the request are updated; undefined fields remain unchanged. | | `EXPOFP_UPSERT_SESSIONS` | Upsert Sessions | Tool to create or update sessions in bulk for an expo event. Sessions are upserted based on externalId if provided - existing sessions with matching externalId are updated, otherwise new sessions are created. Use this action when you need to add new sessions to an event or update existing sessions. Example: "Add a keynote session to expo 32971" or "Update session details for external ID 'session-001'." | | `EXPOFP_UPSERT_SESSION_TRACKS` | Upsert Session Tracks | Tool to create or update session tracks in bulk for an expo. Use when you need to add new tracks or modify existing ones. Provide an id in the track object to update; omit it to create new. Example: "Create a new session track called 'Workshops' with color #FF5733." | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Expofp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Expofp. Instead of manually wiring Expofp APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. 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 You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Expofp account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 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). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Expofp via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Expofp connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Expofp tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Expofp session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["expofp"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Expofp tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Expofp assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="expofp_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Expofp operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Expofp tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Expofp related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Expofp session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["expofp"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Expofp assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="expofp_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Expofp operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Expofp related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Expofp through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Expofp, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Expofp MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/expofp/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

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