## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Gemini to Mastra AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Gemini agent that can summarize this research article in 100 words, generate a creative image of a futuristic city, create a 30-second video based on this script through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Mastra AI agent real control over a Gemini account through Composio's Gemini 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:
- Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together
- Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Gemini tools
- Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL
- Fetch Gemini tool definitions and attach them as a toolset
- Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results
- Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Gemini agent

## What is Mastra AI?

Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP.
Key features include:
- MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups
- Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution
- OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai

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

The Gemini MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gemini account. It provides structured and secure access to Gemini's multimodal AI features, so your agent can generate text, images, and videos, analyze content, and manage model resources on your behalf.
- Text and content generation: Instruct your agent to create high-quality, customized text using Gemini's advanced generative models—great for brainstorming, drafting, or summarizing information.
- Creative image and video generation: Ask the agent to generate original images or high-quality videos from text prompts using Gemini 2.5 Flash and Veo models, with fine control over style and format.
- Embedding and semantic analysis: Let your agent transform any text into rich semantic embeddings for similarity search, clustering, or classification tasks.
- Model discovery and optimization: Have the agent list available Gemini and Veo models, check their capabilities, and select the best fit for your project or workflow.
- Efficient resource management: Enable the agent to track video generation operations, download final assets, and optimize prompt inputs by counting tokens—all without manual intervention.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GEMINI_COUNT_TOKENS` | Count Tokens (Gemini) | Counts the number of tokens in text using Gemini tokenization. Useful for estimating costs, checking input limits, and optimizing prompts before making API calls. |
| `GEMINI_EMBED_CONTENT` | Embed Content (Gemini) | Generates text embeddings using Gemini embedding models. Converts text into numerical vectors for semantic search, similarity comparison, clustering, and classification tasks. |
| `GEMINI_GENERATE_CONTENT` | Generate Content (Gemini) | Generates text content or speech audio from prompts using Gemini models. Supports text generation models (Gemini Flash, Pro) and text-to-speech models with configurable parameters. Generated text is nested at results[i].response.data.text. Output may be wrapped in markdown fences (e.g., ```html...```) or preceded by explanatory prose; strip these before file writing or rendering. |
| `GEMINI_GENERATE_IMAGE` | Generate Image (Nano Banana) | Generates images from text prompts using Gemini models (Nano Banana). Supports models: 'gemini-2.5-flash-image' (GA stable, fast), 'gemini-3-pro-image-preview' (Nano Banana Pro - advanced with 4K resolution, thinking mode, up to 14 reference images), and 'gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation' (2.0 Flash experimental). Returns one image per call; images are uploaded to S3. Parse response at data.image.s3url or the text-type entry in data.content — prefer the URL to avoid base64 blobs. Always validate s3url before treating call as successful; a 200 response may contain only text with no image. Store s3url immediately as URLs can expire. Output formats are raster only (JPG/PNG/WebP); request PNG for transparency. Concurrent usage may trigger HTTP 429/RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED — keep concurrency ≤3 and use exponential backoff (1s→2s→4s, ~5 retries). NOTE NEVER EVER TRUE SYNC_TO_WORKBENCH IN RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL |
| `GEMINI_GENERATE_VIDEOS` | Generate Videos (Veo) | Generates videos from text prompts using Google's Veo models. Returns an operation_name for tracking; pass it verbatim (no edits) to GEMINI_WAIT_FOR_VIDEO or GEMINI_GET_VIDEOS_OPERATION. Jobs take 30–180+ seconds; wait 10s before first poll, then poll every 10–30s (allow up to 12 min). Successful results include data.video_file.s3url — missing s3url means failure. If done=true but no video_file, check raiMediaFilteredReasons (safety block); revise prompt and regenerate. Text-only; cannot accept image inputs. Max ~3–5 concurrent jobs; 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED requires exponential backoff. For retries, always start a fresh call — never reuse a failed operation_name. |
| `GEMINI_LIST_MODELS` | List Models (Gemini API) | Lists available Gemini and Veo models with their capabilities and limits. Useful for discovering supported models and their features before making generation requests. Before calling video generation tools, verify model availability here — preview Veo models (e.g., veo-3.0-generate-preview) may be unavailable or return missing video URIs; prefer stable models like veo-2.0-generate-001. |
| `GEMINI_WAIT_FOR_VIDEO` | Wait and Download Video (Veo) | Polls a Veo video generation operation until completion, then downloads and returns the video as a FileDownloadable. Generation takes 30–120+ seconds (up to ~10–12 min); long waits are normal, not failures. On completion, the URL is nested at data.video_file.s3url — validate it is non-empty before downstream use. A done=true response without a valid s3url indicates safety filter rejection (check raiMediaFilteredReasons) or quota exhaustion — adjust the prompt and regenerate. On timeout, use GEMINI_GET_VIDEOS_OPERATION with incremental backoff before starting a new job. Keep parallel jobs to 3–5 to avoid 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors. |

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

The Gemini MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Gemini. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Gemini 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:
- Node.js 18 or higher
- A Composio account with an active API key
- An OpenAI API key
- Basic familiarity with 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 need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models.
- Store the key somewhere 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.
- This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Gemini through MCP.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the required packages.
What's happening:
- @composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions
- @mastra/core provides the Agent class
- @mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client
- @ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI
- dotenv loads environment variables from .env
```bash
npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to
- OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import libraries and validate environment

What's happening:
- dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available
- openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper
- Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers
- MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server
- Composio is used to create a Tool Router session
```typescript
import "dotenv/config";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import * as readline from "readline";

import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent";

const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID;

if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set");

const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioAPIKey as string,
});
```

### 5. Create a Tool Router session for Gemini

What's happening:
- create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user
- The toolkits array contains "gemini" for Gemini access
- session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to
```typescript
async function main() {
  const session = await composio.create(
    composioUserID as string,
    {
      toolkits: ["gemini"],
    },
  );

  const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url;
  console.log("Gemini MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl);
```

### 6. Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools

What's happening:
- MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers
- The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication
- getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Gemini toolkit
```typescript
const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
    id: composioUserID as string,
    servers: {
      nasdaq: {
        url: new URL(composioMCPUrl),
        requestInit: {
          headers: session.mcp.headers,
        },
      },
    },
    timeout: 30_000,
  });

console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio...");
const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools();
console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length);
```

### 7. Create the Mastra agent

What's happening:
- Agent is the core Mastra agent
- name is just an identifier for logging and debugging
- instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language
- model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM
```typescript
const agent = new Agent({
    name: "gemini-mastra-agent",
    instructions: "You are an AI agent with Gemini tools via Composio.",
    model: "openai/gpt-5",
  });
```

### 8. Set up interactive chat interface

What's happening:
- messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format
- agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Gemini toolsets
- maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run
- onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging
```typescript
let messages: AiMessageType[] = [];

console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n");

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  prompt: "> ",
});

rl.prompt();

rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => {
  const trimmedInput = userInput.trim();

  if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) {
    console.log("\nGoodbye!");
    rl.close();
    process.exit(0);
  }

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

  messages.push({
    id: crypto.randomUUID(),
    role: "user",
    content: trimmedInput,
  });

  console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n");

  try {
    const response = await agent.generate(messages, {
      toolsets: {
        gemini: composioTools,
      },
      maxSteps: 8,
    });

    const { text } = response;

    if (text && text.trim().length > 0) {
      console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`);
        messages.push({
          id: crypto.randomUUID(),
          role: "assistant",
          content: text,
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("\nError:", error);
    }

    rl.prompt();
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    console.log("\nSession ended.");
    await mcpClient.disconnect();
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Fatal error:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

      maxSteps: 8,
    });

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Mastra AI?

Yes, you can. Mastra AI 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 Gemini tools.

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

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