Connect Highergov MCP Tool with your Agent

Python
TypeScript

Install Composio

python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK

Create Tool Router Session

python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session

Connect to AI Agent

python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Highergov tools.',

)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Get recent federal contracts awarded')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):

asyncio.run(main())
Use the MCP server with your AI agent

Connect Highergov API Tool with your Agent

Python
TypeScript

Install Composio

python
pip install composio_openai
Install the Composio SDK

Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session

Execute Highergov Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent
