By the end, you'll have a working Jobnimbus agent that can list all open tasks for this week, create a new material order for a contact, fetch details for contact by name through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Jobnimbus account through Composio's Jobnimbus MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Jobnimbus with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Jobnimbus - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Jobnimbus tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Jobnimbus operations ## What is AutoGen? 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 Jobnimbus MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Jobnimbus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Jobnimbus account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM and project management data, so your agent can perform actions like managing contacts, scheduling tasks, creating locations, and retrieving account information on your behalf. - Contact management and lookup: Instantly create new contacts or fetch full details and lists of existing contacts for streamlined project tracking and reporting. - Task scheduling and tracking: Direct your agent to create and assign tasks, helping teams stay organized and on top of project to-dos. - Location and job site creation: Quickly add new locations to your Jobnimbus account, ensuring every job and address is properly logged for future reference. - Material order and workflow automation: Let your agent place material orders for jobs and update workflow statuses to keep projects moving smoothly from lead to completion. - Account and attachment management: Retrieve account settings or pull file attachments by ID, supporting seamless document handling and system configuration. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `JOBNIMBUS_ACCOUNT_CREATE_LOCATION` | Create Location | Tool to create a new location in JobNimbus. Use after gathering address and contact details. | | `JOBNIMBUS_ACCOUNT_GET_SETTINGS` | Get Account Settings | Tool to retrieve account-wide settings (workflows, types, sources). Use after authenticating to load or refresh workflow and source mappings. | | `JOBNIMBUS_ACTIVITY_GET` | Get Activity by ID | Retrieves a specific JobNimbus activity by its unique jnid. Activities in JobNimbus represent logged events such as task modifications, contact updates, job creation, and other system actions. Each activity contains details about what changed, who made the change, and when it occurred. Use this action when you need detailed information about a specific activity, such as viewing the full history of changes or understanding who performed an action. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CONTACT_GET` | Get Contact by ID | Tool to retrieve a contact by ID. Use after obtaining the contact’s jnid to fetch full details. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CONTACT_LIST` | List Contacts | Tool to list all contacts. Use when you need to fetch multiple contacts, e.g., for reporting or synchronization. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CONTACT_UPDATE` | Update Contact | Tool to update an existing contact. Use when you have a contact's JNID and need to modify its fields. Call after fetching or creating a contact. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CREATE_FILE_TYPE` | Create File Attachment Type | Creates a new file attachment type in JobNimbus. File types are custom categories used to organize and classify document attachments (e.g., contracts, warranties, photos, permits). You must create a file type before you can upload files with that category. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CREATE_MATERIAL_ORDER` | Create Material Order | Creates a new material order in JobNimbus. A material order tracks materials needed for a job and can be submitted to suppliers. Material orders must be linked to a contact or job record and include at least one line item referencing an existing product from your Products & Services catalog. Prerequisites: - At least one contact or job record must exist (use JOBNIMBUS_CONTACT_LIST to find contacts) - Products must exist in your catalog (use JOBNIMBUS_LIST_PRODUCTS to find product IDs) Note: Custom line items are not supported - all items must reference existing products by their jnid. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CREATE_TASK` | Create Task | Tool to create a new task. Use when scheduling or tracking tasks linked to contacts or jobs. | | `JOBNIMBUS_CREATE_WORKFLOW_STATUS` | Create Workflow Status | Tool to create a new status in an existing workflow.

Use after authenticating when you need to present or validate measurement units. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Jobnimbus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Jobnimbus. Instead of manually wiring Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["jobnimbus"] ) 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="jobnimbus_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["jobnimbus"] ) 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 Jobnimbus assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="jobnimbus_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus 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 Jobnimbus, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Jobnimbus MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/jobnimbus/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Hubspot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/hubspot) - HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing, sales, and customer service platform.

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