## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Groqcloud to the OpenAI Agents SDK 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 OpenAI Agents SDK 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 necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Groqcloud
- Configure an AI agent that can use Groqcloud as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Groqcloud operations

## 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 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 agent to Groqcloud. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud.
```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 groqcloud.
- The router checks the user's Groqcloud connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Groqcloud.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Groqcloud tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Groqcloud Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["groqcloud"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Groqcloud
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['groqcloud'],
});
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 Groqcloud. "
        "Help users perform Groqcloud 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 Groqcloud. Help users perform Groqcloud 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

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Groqcloud MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Groqcloud.
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 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 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 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.
