| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_CITIES` | Get Cities | Tool to list supported cities in a specified state and country. Use when you need to retrieve cities for a given state/country. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_CITY_AIR_QUALITY` | Get City Air Quality | Tool to retrieve air quality data for a specific city. Use when you need current pollution and weather data by specifying city, state, and country. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_COUNTRIES` | Get supported countries | Tool to list all supported countries. Use when you need to know which countries are supported by the AirVisual API. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_HISTORICAL_AQI_DATA` | Get Historical AQI Data | Tool to retrieve historical air quality data for a city. Use after confirming city, state, and country when you need AQI readings over time. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_NEAREST_CITY_AIR_QUALITY` | Get Nearest City Air Quality | Tool to retrieve air quality data for the nearest city based on latitude/longitude or IP. Use when you have precise location data or want to geolocate an IP for air quality. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_NEAREST_STATION_AIR_QUALITY` | Get Nearest Station Air Quality | Tool to get nearest station air quality. Use when you have GPS coordinates and need closest station’s AQI. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_STATES` | Get States | Tool to list supported states in a specified country. Use when you need to retrieve states/provinces for a given country. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_STATION_BY_ID` | Get Station by ID | Fetches current air quality and weather data for a specific location by station/city/state/country names. Falls back to city-level data if the Stations API requires premium access. Returns current AQI (US and China scales), weather conditions, and geographic location. Use Get Countries, Get States, and Get Cities actions to find valid location names. |
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_WORLD_RANKING` | Get World AQI Rankings | Retrieves air quality ranking data. With premium API access, returns a global ranking of cities by AQI. With standard (free) API access, automatically falls back to returning the nearest city's air quality as a single-item ranking list. Use lat/lon coordinates or an IP address to specify location for the fallback behavior. Returns city name, location, and current AQI values (US EPA and Chinese MEP standards). |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
```python
pip install composio composio_openai openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Create a Composio session

Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Iqair airvisual
```python
import json
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
client = OpenAI()

session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["iqair_airvisual"])
tools = session.tools()
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["iqair_airvisual"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Run Iqair airvisual tools with your agent

Send a request, execute the Iqair airvisual tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
```python
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools=tools,
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Show me today’s air quality forecast for Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],
)

while True:
    tool_calls = [o for o in response.output if o.type == "function_call"]
    if not tool_calls:
        break
    results = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)
    response = client.responses.create(
        model="gpt-5.6-sol",
        tools=tools,
        previous_response_id=response.id,
        input=[
            {"type": "function_call_output", "call_id": call.call_id, "output": json.dumps(results[i])}
            for i, call in enumerate(tool_calls)
        ],
    )

print(response.output_text)
```

```typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Show me today’s air quality forecast for Los Angeles, CA, USA" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create a session with MCP enabled

Create a session scoped to Iqair airvisual and read its MCP URL and headers
```python
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["iqair_airvisual"], mcp=True)
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["iqair_airvisual"],
  mcp: true,
});
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect your agent to the MCP server

Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Iqair airvisual request
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions, AssistantMessage, TextBlock

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": session.mcp.url,
            "headers": session.mcp.headers,
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Iqair airvisual tools.",
    tools=[],
    allowed_tools=["mcp__composio__*"],
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("Show me today’s air quality forecast for Los Angeles, CA, USA")
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if isinstance(message, AssistantMessage):
                for block in message.content:
                    if isinstance(block, TextBlock):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Show me today’s air quality forecast for Los Angeles, CA, USA",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
```
