## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Groqcloud to AutoGen using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Groqcloud agent that can transcribe this spanish audio file to english, list all available ai models on groqcloud, generate the next chat reply from conversation history through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Groqcloud account through Composio's Groqcloud 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:
- 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 Groqcloud
- Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams
- Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Groqcloud tools
- Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Groqcloud MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Groqcloud account. It provides structured and secure access to your deployed AI models and inference services, so your agent can perform actions like running chat completions, translating audio, exploring models, and discovering TTS voices on your behalf.
- Run chat-based completions: Let your agent generate context-aware replies or continue conversations using Groqcloud's high-performance AI models.
- Translate audio to English: Quickly transcribe and translate non-English audio files into accurate English text for downstream processing or review.
- Discover and explore available models: Ask your agent to list all supported AI models, then fetch detailed metadata for any model to inform your workflows.
- Find available TTS voices: Retrieve a curated list of supported text-to-speech voices so your agent can select the best fit for voice synthesis tasks.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GROQCLOUD_CREATE_AUDIO_TRANSCRIPTION` | Create Audio Transcription | Tool to transcribe audio into text in the same language as the audio. Use when you need to convert speech to text while preserving the original language. Supports multiple formats including mp3, mp4, wav, and webm. |
| `GROQCLOUD_CREATE_RESPONSE` | Create Response | Tool to create a model response for the given input. Beta endpoint with simplified interface compared to chat completions. Use when you need a streamlined API for generating model responses. |
| `GROQCLOUD_GROQ_CREATE_AUDIO_TRANSLATION` | Create Audio Translation | Tool to translate an audio file into English text. Use when you have a non-English recording and need an accurate English transcript. Use after confirming the file path. |
| `GROQCLOUD_GROQ_CREATE_CHAT_COMPLETION` | Create Chat Completion | Tool to generate a chat-based completion for a conversation. Use when you have a list of prior messages and need the model's next reply. Response completion text is at choices[0].message.content in the returned envelope. |
| `GROQCLOUD_GROQ_RETRIEVE_MODEL` | Retrieve Model | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific model. Use after listing models when you need metadata for a chosen model. Returned metadata may change as models update; do not cache. |
| `GROQCLOUD_LIST_MODELS` | List Models | Tool to list all available models and their metadata. Always call this to retrieve current model IDs rather than using hard-coded or cached identifiers, as deprecated names cause failures in GROQCLOUD_GROQ_RETRIEVE_MODEL and GROQCLOUD_GROQ_CREATE_CHAT_COMPLETION. Returns availability and metadata only — excludes usage stats, latency metrics, and pricing. Response may include many models; filter client-side by provider, family, modality, or context length. Frequent polling combined with high-volume requests risks HTTP 429 rate_limit_exceeded; use backoff and minimize call frequency. |
| `GROQCLOUD_LIST_VOICES` | List TTS Voices | Tool to retrieve available TTS voices for Groq PlayAI models. Use when you need to discover voice options before calling text-to-speech. Note: static list maintained manually; no live endpoint exists. |

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

The Groqcloud MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Groqcloud. Instead of manually wiring Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud session
    composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"))
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["groqcloud"]
    )
    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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud assistant agent with MCP tools
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="groqcloud_assistant",
        description="An AI assistant that helps with Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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

        toolkits=["groqcloud"]
    )
    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 Groqcloud assistant agent with MCP tools
        agent = AssistantAgent(
            name="groqcloud_assistant",
            description="An AI assistant that helps with Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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