Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Hub Planner to LangChain using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Hub Planner agent that can show all upcoming project bookings for my team, log 8 hours timesheet for john doe, list all unassigned resources this month through natural language commands.

This guide will help you understand how to give your LangChain agent real control over a Hub Planner account through Composio's Hub Planner 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
Connect your Hub Planner project to Composio
Create a Tool Router MCP session for Hub Planner
Initialize an MCP client and retrieve Hub Planner tools
Build a LangChain agent that can interact with Hub Planner
Set up an interactive chat interface for testing

What is LangChain?

LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It provides tools and abstractions for building agents that can reason, use tools, and maintain conversation context.

Key features include:

Agent Framework: Build agents that can use tools and make decisions
MCP Integration: Connect to external services through Model Context Protocol adapters
Memory Management: Maintain conversation history across interactions
Multi-Provider Support: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers

What is the Hub Planner MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Hub Planner MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Hub Planner account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Hub Planner operations on your behalf.

What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Tool Router?

Composio's Tool Router helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Tool Router

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Tool Router works

The Tool Router follows a three-phase workflow:

Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have:

Python 3.10 or higher installed on your system
A Composio account with an API key
An OpenAI API key
Basic familiarity with Python and async programming

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key

Go to the OpenAI dashboard 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.
Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

Install dependencies

pip install composio-langchain langchain-mcp-adapters langchain python-dotenv

Install the required packages for LangChain with MCP support.

What's happening:

composio-langchain provides Composio integration for LangChain
langchain-mcp-adapters enables MCP client connections
langchain is the core agent framework
python-dotenv loads environment variables

Set up environment variables

bash

COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_composio_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's happening:

COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio's API
COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
OPENAI_API_KEY enables access to OpenAI's language models

Import dependencies

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
import asyncio
import os

load_dotenv()

What's happening:

We're importing LangChain's MCP adapter and Composio SDK
The dotenv import loads environment variables from your .env file
This setup prepares the foundation for connecting LangChain with Hub Planner functionality through MCP

Initialize Composio client

async def main():
    composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"))

    if not os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"):
        raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")
    if not os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID"):
        raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set")

What's happening:

We're loading the COMPOSIO_API_KEY from environment variables and validating it exists
Creating a Composio instance that will manage our connection to Hub Planner tools
Validating that COMPOSIO_USER_ID is also set before proceeding

Create a Tool Router session

# Create Tool Router session for Hub Planner
session = composio.create(
    user_id=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID"),
    toolkits=['hub_planner']
)

url = session.mcp.url

What's happening:

We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Hub Planner tools
The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use
This approach allows the agent to dynamically load and use Hub Planner tools as needed

Configure the agent with the MCP URL

client = MultiServerMCPClient({
    "hub_planner-agent": {
        "transport": "streamable_http",
        "url": session.mcp.url,
        "headers": {
            "x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
        }
    }
})

tools = await client.get_tools()

agent = create_agent("gpt-5", tools)

What's happening:

We're creating a MultiServerMCPClient that connects to our Hub Planner MCP server via HTTP
The client is configured with a name and the URL from our Tool Router session
get_tools() retrieves all available Hub Planner tools that the agent can use
We're creating a LangChain agent using the GPT-5 model

Set up interactive chat interface

conversation_history = []

print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n")
print("Ask any Hub Planner related question or task to the agent.\n")

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    conversation_history.append({"role": "user", "content": user_input})
    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    response = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": conversation_history})
    conversation_history = response['messages']
    final_response = response['messages'][-1].content
    print(f"Agent: {final_response}\n")

What's happening:

We initialize an empty conversation_history list to maintain context across interactions
A while loop continuously accepts user input from the command line
When a user types a message, it's added to the conversation history and sent to the agent
The agent processes the request using the ainvoke() method with the full conversation history
Users can type 'exit', 'quit', or 'bye' to end the chat session gracefully

Run the application

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

What's happening:

We call the main() function using asyncio.run() to start the application

        response = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": conversation_history})
        conversation_history = response['messages']
        final_response = response['messages'][-1].content
        print(f"Agent: {final_response}\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Hub Planner MCP?

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

Can I use Tool Router MCP with LangChain?

Yes, you can. LangChain 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 Hub Planner tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Hub Planner while using Tool Router?

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

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10 pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar, shows you the commitment you need to have when users rely on your software.

Abhi AryaCo-founder, Opennote

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it has immensely helped in keeping new users on the platform.

Nirman DaveCEO, Zams

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered. It supported niche tools and tricky edge cases that other platforms simply ignored. Giving us confidence to scale without compromising.
