Connect Instacart 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': {

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Create a shopping list page for taco night')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):

Use the MCP server with your AI agent

Connect Instacart API Tool with your Agent

Python
TypeScript

Install Composio

python
pip install composio_openai

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 Instacart Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent
