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 Icypeas MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Icypeas MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Icypeas account. It provides structured and secure access to professional email discovery and verification, so your agent can perform actions like finding emails, verifying addresses, searching company data, and scanning domains on your behalf. - Accurate email discovery and verification: Instantly find and verify professional email addresses using first name, last name, and company domain to supercharge your outreach or lead generation. - Bulk prospecting and search management: Launch bulk email or profile URL searches for thousands of contacts at once, then track progress and fetch results without manual oversight. - Comprehensive company and people lookup: Search for companies or filter people by name, title, company, and more to enrich your CRM or build targeted prospect lists efficiently. - Domain scanning for role-based emails: Scan entire company domains to discover all available role-based email addresses, simplifying large-scale contact discovery. - Subscription and usage insights: Check your Icypeas subscription details and remaining credits, helping you stay on top of your usage and plan outreach campaigns smarter. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ICYPEAS_BULK_EMAIL_SEARCH` | Bulk Email Search | Initiate a bulk email search job to find professional email addresses for multiple people at once. Use this tool when you need to find emails for more than one person. Provide names (first and/or last) along with company domains or names. The API queues the job and returns a file identifier that can be used with 'Fetch Bulk Search Info' and 'Retrieve Search Results' to check progress and get results. Rate limit: 1 request per second. Maximum 5000 rows per bulk request. | | `ICYPEAS_BULK_FIND_PROFILE_URLS` | Find Profile URLs Bulk | Tool to perform bulk search for profile URLs based on firstname, lastname, and company/domain or job title. Use when you need to find LinkedIn or other social profile URLs for multiple prospects at once (up to 50 per request). This endpoint returns immediate results with profile URLs. Each result includes the found URL (or empty string if not found), a search ID, and a status indicator. | | `ICYPEAS_BULK_REVERSE_EMAIL_LOOKUP` | Bulk Reverse Email Lookup | Tool to find LinkedIn profile URLs for multiple professional email addresses in a single request. Use when you need to reverse lookup 2-50 email addresses to find their associated LinkedIn profiles. Each lookup costs 10 credits per found profile. Returns results immediately (not async like other bulk operations). | | `ICYPEAS_BULK_SCRAPE` | Scrape Bulk | Tool to scrape multiple LinkedIn profiles or companies in bulk (up to 50 per request). Use when you need to scrape multiple LinkedIn URLs at once. Returns a job ID that can be used with check_progress to fetch results. | | `ICYPEAS_CHECK_PROGRESS` | Check Search Progress | Check the processing progress of a search by its ID. Use this tool after initiating a single or bulk search to monitor its status. For mode='single': Checks progress of individual search items via /bulk-single-searchs/read endpoint. For mode='bulk': Checks progress of bulk search files via /search-files/read endpoint. Poll this endpoint periodically until 'finished' is True or item status is 'DEBITED'. Note: ICYPEAS recommends using webhooks instead of polling for production use. | | `ICYPEAS_COUNT_COMPANIES` | Count Companies | Tool to count companies in Icypeas database matching specified filters without returning data or being charged. Use when you need to know how many companies match specific criteria like industry, location, or headcount. | | `ICYPEAS_COUNT_PEOPLE` | Count People | Tool to count people matching specified filters without retrieving data or consuming credits. Use when you need to assess the size of a people search result set before running the actual query. | | `ICYPEAS_DOMAIN_SCAN` | Domain Scan | Tool to scan a domain for role-based email addresses.

Use when you need to check email deliverability. Returns a verification item ID that can be used with ICYPEAS_RETRIEVE_SEARCH_RESULTS to get the verification result. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Icypeas MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Icypeas. Instead of manually wiring Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["icypeas"] ) 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="icypeas_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 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 Icypeas session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["icypeas"] ) 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 Icypeas assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="icypeas_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Icypeas MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/icypeas/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Aeroleads](https://composio.dev/toolkits/aeroleads) - Aeroleads is a B2B lead generation platform for finding business emails and phone numbers.

With a standalone Icypeas MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Icypeas tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Icypeas 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 Icypeas tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Icypeas while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Icypeas 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 Icypeas data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
