## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Google Sheets to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Google Sheets agent that can add a new sheet named 'q3 sales', update all rows where status is 'pending', create a pie chart of expenses by category through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Google Sheets account through Composio's Google Sheets MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## 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 Google Sheets MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Google Sheets MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Sheets account. It provides structured and secure access to your spreadsheets, so your agent can perform actions like creating new sheets, updating data, generating charts, and automating spreadsheet workflows on your behalf.
- Spreadsheet creation and management: Instantly create new Google Sheets and add new worksheets (tabs) to existing spreadsheets whenever you need extra space or organization.
- Bulk data reading and updating: Retrieve specific data ranges, aggregate column data, or update multiple rows and cells at once—perfect for reporting or syncing external data.
- Automated chart generation: Direct your agent to build charts from selected data, making visualization and analysis faster and easier right inside your sheets.
- Smart filtering and data cleanup: Have the agent clear filters, remove cell contents, or append rows and columns to keep your sheets tidy and up to date.
- Dynamic data manipulation: Use advanced features like batch updates with data filters and aggregate operations to transform, filter, or summarize spreadsheet data efficiently.

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

The Google Sheets MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Google Sheets. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Google Sheets 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:
- Composio API Key and OpenAI API Key
- Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
- A live Google Sheets project
- Some knowledge of Python or 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'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).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
```python
pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai-agents @openai/agents dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com
```

### 4. Import dependencies

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 Google Sheets.
```python
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
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIAgentsProvider } from '@composio/openai-agents';
import { Agent, hostedMcpTool, run, OpenAIConversationsSession } from '@openai/agents';
import * as readline from 'readline';
```

### 5. Set up the Composio instance

No description provided.
```python
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())
```

```typescript
dotenv.config();

const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key');
}
if (!userId) {
  throw new Error('USER_ID is not set');
}

// Initialize Composio
const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioApiKey,
  provider: new OpenAIAgentsProvider(),
});
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What is happening:
- You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only googlesheets.
- The router checks the user's Google Sheets connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Google Sheets.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Google Sheets tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Google Sheets Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["googlesheets"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Google Sheets
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['googlesheets'],
});
const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent

No description provided.
```python
# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Google Sheets. "
        "Help users perform Google Sheets 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",
            }
        )
    ],
)
```

```typescript
// Configure agent with MCP tool
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Assistant',
  model: 'gpt-5',
  instructions:
    'You are a helpful assistant that can access Google Sheets. Help users perform Google Sheets operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

### 8. Start chat loop and handle conversation

```python
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
        )

    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")

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Google Sheets MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Google Sheets.
Key features:
- Hosted MCP tool integration through Composio's Tool Router
- SQLite session persistence for conversation history
- Simple async chat loop for interactive testing
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google Sheets MCP?

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

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

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