## 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 Iqair airvisual
- Configure an AI agent that can use Iqair airvisual as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Iqair airvisual 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 Iqair airvisual MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Iqair airvisual MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Iqair airvisual account. It provides structured and secure access to rich global air quality data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving real-time AQI, forecasting pollution, checking historical trends, and ranking cities worldwide by air quality on your behalf.
- Real-time city and station air quality: Instantly fetch current air quality and weather data for any supported city or monitoring station, based on precise location or station ID.
- Air quality forecasting: Ask your agent to provide air quality forecasts for specific cities, helping you plan activities based on pollution trends.
- Historical AQI analysis: Retrieve historical air quality index readings for cities to analyze patterns, spot trends, or track improvements over time.
- World AQI rankings: Get live rankings of cities worldwide based on current AQI data, or easily find the most and least polluted cities globally.
- Location-based discovery: Let your agent list supported countries, states, and cities, or pinpoint the nearest air quality stations and cities using GPS coordinates or IP address.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `IQAIR_AIRVISUAL_GET_AIR_QUALITY_FORECAST_DATA` | Get Air Quality Forecast Data | Tool to retrieve air quality forecast data for a specified city, state, and country. Use after confirming location details. |
| `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). |

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

The Iqair airvisual MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Iqair airvisual. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Iqair airvisual 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 Iqair airvisual 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

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk @composio/core dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with Iqair airvisual through Composio's Tool Router.
Key features:
- Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework
- Streaming responses for real-time interaction
- Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Iqair airvisual MCP?

With a standalone Iqair airvisual MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Iqair airvisual tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Iqair airvisual 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 Iqair airvisual tools.

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

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