## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Honeybadger to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Honeybadger agent that can report a new deployment to honeybadger, upload javascript source maps after release, send a custom error event for diagnostics through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Honeybadger account through Composio's Honeybadger 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 Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Honeybadger
- Configure an AI agent that can use Honeybadger as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Honeybadger operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Honeybadger MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Honeybadger MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Honeybadger account. It provides structured and secure access to your error monitoring and deployment data, so your agent can perform actions like reporting exceptions, tracking deployments, sending custom events, and managing source maps on your behalf.
- Error and exception reporting: Instantly notify Honeybadger of new exceptions or critical errors by sending detailed diagnostic data, including stack traces and context information, for fast troubleshooting.
- Automated deployment tracking: Let your agent report new deployments to Honeybadger after every release, so you always have up-to-date context for error tracking and performance monitoring.
- Scheduled task monitoring: Use the agent to report check-ins (pings) for scheduled jobs, ensuring your background tasks are running reliably and on time.
- Custom telemetry and event logging: Send structured NDJSON events to Honeybadger Insights, allowing you to capture and analyze application-specific metrics and events.
- Source map and file uploads: Upload JavaScript source maps and supporting files to Honeybadger for improved error de-minification and debugging of production errors.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `HONEYBADGER_REPORT_CHECK_IN` | Report Check-In | Reports a check-in (ping) to Honeybadger for uptime monitoring. Check-ins are used to monitor scheduled tasks, cron jobs, and background processes. By pinging this endpoint regularly, you signal that your task is running on schedule. If Honeybadger doesn't receive a ping within the expected timeframe, it will alert you that the task may have failed or stopped running. Use this action at the end of successful task executions to notify Honeybadger the task completed as expected. |
| `HONEYBADGER_REPORT_CHECK_IN_WITH_PAYLOAD` | Report Check-In With Payload | Report a check-in with additional payload data to Honeybadger. Use when monitoring scheduled tasks or cron jobs and need to send metrics, status, or metadata (up to 20KB). |
| `HONEYBADGER_REPORT_DEPLOYMENT` | Report Deployment | Report a new deployment to Honeybadger for deployment tracking and error correlation. Use this tool after deploying code to notify Honeybadger, which allows you to: - Track deployment history on your project's Deployments page - Correlate errors with specific deployments - Automatically resolve errors when deploying to an environment All deployment fields are optional, but providing environment and revision is recommended for better tracking. |
| `HONEYBADGER_REPORT_EVENT` | Report Event | Send custom events to Honeybadger Insights for tracking, monitoring, and analytics. Use this action to record any structured event data such as: - User activity and behavioral events (logins, page views, feature usage) - Application errors and exceptions with context - Performance metrics and timing data - Custom business events and audit trails - System health and operational metrics Events are sent as newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) and can include any custom fields. The API returns tracking IDs for each successfully recorded event. |
| `HONEYBADGER_REPORT_EXCEPTION` | Report Exception | Tool to report an exception notice to Honeybadger. Use when sending error details (stack trace, context) for diagnostics. |
| `HONEYBADGER_UPLOAD_FILE_TO_S3` | Upload File to S3 | Tool to upload a local file to a managed S3 bucket. Use when preparing files for source-map uploads. |
| `HONEYBADGER_UPLOAD_SOURCE_MAP` | Upload Source Map | Upload JavaScript source maps to Honeybadger for error stack trace de-minification. Use this tool after deploying minified JavaScript assets to enable Honeybadger to display un-minified, readable stack traces when errors occur. Source maps allow Honeybadger to map minified code back to your original source code with proper file names, function names, and line numbers. The tool uploads: (1) the minified JS file, (2) its corresponding .map file, and optionally (3) additional source files referenced by the map, all associated with the production URL. |

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

The Honeybadger MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Honeybadger. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Honeybadger 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 Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Honeybadger account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- 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

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

With a standalone Honeybadger MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Honeybadger tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Honeybadger and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent 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 Honeybadger tools.

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

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