By the end, you'll have a working Forcemanager agent that can delete a contact by their id, get details for a specific sales order, retrieve company info using company id through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Forcemanager account through Composio's Forcemanager MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Forcemanager with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/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 Forcemanager - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Forcemanager tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Forcemanager MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Forcemanager account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving activity details, managing companies and contacts, and organizing sales orders on your behalf. - Activity management and retrieval: Instantly fetch specific sales activities or remove outdated ones, helping you keep your team's daily records up to date. - Company and contact administration: Easily get detailed company or contact information, or delete records when they're no longer needed—all with your agent's help. - Sales order and line control: Let your agent delete sales orders or individual order lines, streamlining your sales workflow and keeping data clean. - Master data maintenance: Empower your agent to manage master-data values, ensuring your CRM stays accurate and relevant as your business evolves. - Saved view organization: Ask your agent to delete saved views you no longer use, keeping your workspace focused and clutter-free. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_ACTIVITY` | Delete Activity | Delete an existing activity by ID. Tries multiple base hosts and path variants to maximize compatibility across environments and gateways. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_COMPANY` | Delete Company | Tool to delete a company by its ForceManager ID. Use when you need to remove an existing company from the system. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_CONTACT` | Delete Contact | Permanently deletes a contact from ForceManager by its unique ID. This action removes the specified contact and all associated data. The operation is irreversible. The action automatically tries multiple API endpoint combinations to ensure compatibility across different ForceManager deployments and configurations. Returns the HTTP status code and any response message from the API. A successful deletion typically returns a 200 status code. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_SALES_ORDER` | Delete Sales Order | Delete a sales order by ID using ForceManager REST API. Tries multiple base hosts and path variants to maximize compatibility across environments. Accepts successful HTTP status codes (< 300) even when the response is non-JSON, capturing response text. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_SALES_ORDER_LINE` | Delete Sales Order Line | Delete a sales order line by ID. Attempts deletion across multiple ForceManager API hosts and path variations to ensure compatibility. Returns detailed information about the deletion result, including any messages or status codes from the API. Use this when you need to remove a specific sales order line item from the system. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_VALUE` | Delete Master Data Value | Delete a master-data value (Z_ table) by ID using ForceManager REST API. Tries multiple base hosts and path variants to maximize compatibility across environments. Accepts successful HTTP status codes (< 300) even when the response is HTML instead of JSON, capturing the response text as a message. Also retries sending authentication headers as query parameters on HTTP 401 as some gateways expect them in query string. | | `FORCEMANAGER_DELETE_VIEW` | Delete View | Delete a saved view (custom filter) by its ID. Views in ForceManager are saved filter configurations that users create to quickly access filtered lists of entities (accounts, activities, opportunities, etc.). This action permanently removes a view that the authenticated user has permission to delete. **Use Cases:** - Remove outdated or unused custom filters - Clean up views after organizational changes - Programmatically manage view lifecycle **Requirements:** - Valid view ID that exists in the system - Appropriate permissions to delete the view - The view must be owned by or shared with the authenticated user **Note:** This action tries multiple ForceManager API endpoints to maximize compatibility across different deployment environments and API versions. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_ACTIVITY` | Get Activity | Retrieves a single activity by its ID from ForceManager CRM. Use this tool when you need to: - Fetch details of a specific activity by its ID - Check if an activity exists - Retrieve activity data including comments, dates, linked contacts/accounts, and location info The action attempts multiple ForceManager API endpoints to ensure compatibility across different API versions and deployment configurations. Returns found=False if the activity does not exist or cannot be retrieved. Authentication is handled automatically via headers from the connected account. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_COMPANY` | Get Company | Retrieve a single company by its ID from ForceManager. Returns company details when found, or an empty entity with found=False when the company doesn't exist or the API returns non-JSON content. The action automatically tries multiple ForceManager API endpoints for maximum compatibility. Use this to fetch company information including name, address, contact details, and custom fields. Check the 'found' field to determine if the company exists. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_INTERNAL_ID` | Get Internal ID | Tool to retrieve ForceManager internal IDs mapping for a given externalId and entity type. This action calls the documented endpoint /api/internalid with required authentication headers and optional pagination/version headers. It tries multiple base hosts to avoid HTML app shell responses and gracefully handles non-JSON responses and error codes by returning empty results instead of failing the execution. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_PRODUCT` | Get Product | Retrieve a single product by its ID from ForceManager/Sage Sales Management. This action tries multiple known ForceManager API endpoints in sequence until one succeeds. If a product is not found or the API returns non-JSON content, it returns found=False with an empty entity dict. This graceful handling allows agents to check for product existence without encountering errors. Use this when you need to fetch product details such as name, price, cost, category, or custom fields by product ID. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_SALES_ORDER_LINE` | Get Sales Order Line | Retrieves a single sales order line by ID from ForceManager. A sales order line represents a product item within a sales order, including quantity, pricing, and discount information. Use this when you need to fetch details about a specific line item in a sales order, such as product information, quantities, prices, or applied discounts. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_USER` | Get User | Retrieves a single ForceManager user by their ID, returning comprehensive user information including name, email, phone, active status, permission level, manager, branches, and more. Returns the complete user object if found, or an empty entity with found=False if the user doesn't exist, was deleted, or the API returns an error. Automatically tries multiple ForceManager API endpoints and versions to ensure compatibility. Use this when you need to: fetch user profile details, verify user existence, check user permissions/status, or retrieve user contact information. | | `FORCEMANAGER_GET_VIEW` | Get View | Tool to get a single view by ID. Returns a list with zero or one view object. | | `FORCEMANAGER_LIST_VIEWS` | List Views | Tool to list saved view filters. Use when you need to retrieve saved views for a specific entity (e.g., list views for entity 'account'). | | `FORCEMANAGER_UPDATE_ACTIVITY` | Update Activity | Tool to update an existing activity by ID. Use when you need to change fields such as comment, date/time, linked entities, or geocode. | | `FORCEMANAGER_UPDATE_COMPANY` | Update Company | Update Company | | `FORCEMANAGER_UPDATE_PRODUCT` | Update Product | Updates an existing product by ID in ForceManager. Use this tool to modify product details such as name, price, cost, description, availability status, category, family, discount limits, and custom fields. The product must already exist - this action does not create new products. At least one field besides 'id' must be provided to update. | | `FORCEMANAGER_UPDATE_SALES_ORDER` | Update Sales Order | Update Sales Order | | `FORCEMANAGER_UPDATE_SALES_ORDER_LINE` | Update Sales Order Line | Tool to update sales order line by ID. Use when modifying details of an existing sales order line. Retries with query auth on 401 for proxy-pro host. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Forcemanager MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Forcemanager. Instead of manually wiring Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["forcemanager"] ) 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="forcemanager_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["forcemanager"] ) 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 Forcemanager assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="forcemanager_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager 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 Forcemanager, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Forcemanager MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/forcemanager/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Hubspot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/hubspot) - HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing, sales, and customer service platform.

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