This guide will help you understand how to give your CrewAI agent real control over a Google Tasks account through Composio's Google Tasks MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Google Tasks with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/llama-index) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get a Composio API key and configure your Google Tasks connection - Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent - Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Google Tasks - Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Google Tasks operations ## What is CrewAI? CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews. Key features include: - Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories - Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs - Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows - MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol ## What is the Google Tasks MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Google Tasks 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 Tasks account. It provides structured and secure access to your to-do lists and tasks, so your agent can create task lists, add or update tasks, reorganize and clean up your lists, and fetch or manage your action items automatically. - Intelligent task list management: Ask your agent to create new to-do lists, fetch existing ones, or remove lists you no longer need—all without manual clicks. - Automated task creation and updates: Let your agent add new tasks, set due dates, or update existing to-dos to keep your lists current and organized. - Efficient task organization and movement: Move tasks between lists, reorder them, or set parent/child relationships so your priorities always stay clear. - Fast cleanup and deletion: Direct your agent to clear completed tasks or delete specific items and lists, helping you declutter swiftly and securely. - Detailed task retrieval and review: Have your agent pull details on any task or list so you can review upcoming deadlines, notes, and status at a glance. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS` | Clear tasks | Permanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent. | | `GOOGLETASKS_CREATE_TASK_LIST` | Create a task list | Creates a new task list with the specified title. | | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete task | Deletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks. | | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK_LIST` | Delete task list | Permanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible. | | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Use to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known. | | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK_LIST` | Get task list | Retrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user. | | `GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK` | Insert Task | Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified. | | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS` | List task lists | Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated. | | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASKS` | List Tasks | Retrieves tasks from a google tasks list; all date/time strings must be rfc3339 utc, and `showcompleted` must be true if `completedmin` or `completedmax` are specified. | | `GOOGLETASKS_MOVE_TASK` | Move Task | Moves the specified task to another position in the destination task list. | | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK` | Patch Task | Partially updates an existing task (identified by `task id`) within a specific google task list (identified by `tasklist id`), modifying only the provided attributes from `taskinput` (e.g., `title`, `notes`, `due` date, `status`) and requiring both the task and list to exist. | | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK_LIST` | Patch task list | Updates the title of an existing google tasks task list. | | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Updates the specified task. | | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK_LIST` | Update Task List | Updates the authenticated user's specified task list. | ## Supported Triggers | Trigger slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLETASKS_NEW_TASK_CREATED_TRIGGER` | New Task Created | Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks. | | `GOOGLETASKS_NEW_TASK_LIST_CREATED_TRIGGER` | New Task List Created | Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected. | | `GOOGLETASKS_TASK_DETAILS_CHANGED_TRIGGER` | Task Details Changed | Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified. | | `GOOGLETASKS_TASK_LIST_CHANGED_TRIGGER` | Task List Changed | Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected. | | `GOOGLETASKS_TASK_UPDATED_TRIGGER` | Task Updated | Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified. | ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Google Tasks MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Google Tasks. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Google Tasks 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: - Python 3.9 or higher - A Composio account and API key - A Google Tasks connection authorized in Composio - An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM - Basic familiarity with Python ### 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 **What's happening:** - composio connects your agent to Google Tasks via MCP - crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives - crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers - python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash pip install composio crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio - USER_ID scopes the session to your account - OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import dependencies **What's happening:** - CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow - MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint - Composio will give you a short lived Google Tasks MCP URL ```python import os from composio import Composio from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter import dotenv dotenv.load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set") ``` ### 5. Create a Composio Tool Router session for Google Tasks **What's happening:** - You create a Google Tasks only session through Composio - Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Google Tasks tools ```python composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["googletasks"]) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 6. Initialize the MCP Server **What's Happening:** - Server Configuration: The code sets up connection parameters including the MCP server URL, streamable HTTP transport, and Composio API key authentication. - MCP Adapter Bridge: MCPServerAdapter acts as a context manager that converts Composio MCP tools into a CrewAI-compatible format. - Agent Setup: Creates a CrewAI Agent with a defined role (Search Assistant), goal (help with internet searches), and access to the MCP tools. - Configuration Options: The agent includes settings like verbose=False for clean output and max_iter=10 to prevent infinite loops. - Dynamic Tool Usage: Once created, the agent automatically accesses all Composio Search tools and decides when to use them based on user queries. ```python server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users search the internet effectively", backstory="You are a helpful assistant with access to search tools.", tools=tools, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) ``` ### 7. Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew **What's Happening:** - Interactive CLI Setup: The code creates an infinite loop that continuously prompts for user input and maintains the entire conversation history in a string variable. - Input Validation: Empty inputs are ignored to prevent processing blank messages and keep the conversation clean. - Context Building: Each user message is appended to the conversation context, which preserves the full dialogue history for better agent responses. - Dynamic Task Creation: For every user input, a new Task is created that includes both the full conversation history and the current request as context. - Crew Execution: A Crew is instantiated with the agent and task, then kicked off to process the request and generate a response. - Response Management: The agent's response is converted to a string, added to the conversation context, and displayed to the user, maintaining conversational continuity. ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv import os load_dotenv() GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not GOOGLE_API_KEY: raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.") # Initialize Composio and create a session composio = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio.create( user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["googletasks"], ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure LLM llm = LLM( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), ) server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users with internet searches", backstory="You are an expert assistant with access to Composio Search tools.", tools=tools, llm=llm, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Conclusion You now have a CrewAI agent connected to Google Tasks through Composio's Tool Router. The agent can perform Google Tasks operations through natural language commands.

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