## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Leadoku to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Leadoku agent that can show me today's newest sales leads, list connections added this week, get all new leads since monday through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Leadoku account through Composio's Leadoku MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Leadoku
- Configure an AI agent that can use Leadoku as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Leadoku operations

## What is OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight framework for building AI agents that can use tools and maintain conversation state. It provides a simple interface for creating agents with hosted MCP tool support.
Key features include:
- Hosted MCP Tools: Connect to external services through hosted MCP endpoints
- SQLite Sessions: Persist conversation history across interactions
- Simple API: Clean interface with Agent, Runner, and tool configuration
- Streaming Support: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications

## What is the Leadoku MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Leadoku MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Leadoku account. It provides structured and secure access to your lead management data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving new connections, surfacing fresh leads, and supporting timely follow-ups—all automatically.
- Fetch new connections instantly: Let your agent retrieve the most recent connections added to your Leadoku pipeline, so you never miss a potential lead.
- Monitor lead creation dates: Automatically filter and report on leads based on their connection or creation date to prioritize outreach and follow-up.
- Generate real-time lead lists: Ask your agent to compile lists of new prospects for your team, making it easy to assign or review fresh opportunities.
- Enable proactive sales workflows: Trigger alerts or next steps when new connections are detected, helping your sales team stay on top of their pipeline without manual checks.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `LEADOKU_GET_NEW_CONNECTIONS` | Get New Connections | Retrieves a list of new connections from Growth-X (formerly Leadoku). The 'tsField' for this action is 'connection_date' (mapped from 'creation_date' in the API response). |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

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

The Leadoku MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Leadoku. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Leadoku 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 OpenAI API Key
- Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
- A live Leadoku project
- Some knowledge of Python or Typescript

### 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).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
```python
pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai-agents @openai/agents dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- You're importing all necessary libraries.
- The Composio and OpenAIAgentsProvider classes are imported to connect your OpenAI agent to Composio tools like Leadoku.
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from composio import Composio
from composio_openai_agents import OpenAIAgentsProvider
from agents import Agent, Runner, HostedMCPTool, SQLiteSession
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIAgentsProvider } from '@composio/openai-agents';
import { Agent, hostedMcpTool, run, OpenAIConversationsSession } from '@openai/agents';
import * as readline from 'readline';
```

### 5. Set up the Composio instance

No description provided.
```python
load_dotenv()

api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")

if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key")

# Initialize Composio
composio = Composio(api_key=api_key, provider=OpenAIAgentsProvider())
```

```typescript
dotenv.config();

const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key');
}
if (!userId) {
  throw new Error('USER_ID is not set');
}

// Initialize Composio
const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioApiKey,
  provider: new OpenAIAgentsProvider(),
});
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What is happening:
- You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only leadoku.
- The router checks the user's Leadoku connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Leadoku.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Leadoku tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Leadoku Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["leadoku"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Leadoku
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['leadoku'],
});
const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent

No description provided.
```python
# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Leadoku. "
        "Help users perform Leadoku operations through natural language."
    ),
    tools=[
        HostedMCPTool(
            tool_config={
                "type": "mcp",
                "server_label": "tool_router",
                "server_url": mcp_url,
                "headers": {"x-api-key": api_key},
                "require_approval": "never",
            }
        )
    ],
)
```

```typescript
// Configure agent with MCP tool
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Assistant',
  model: 'gpt-5',
  instructions:
    'You are a helpful assistant that can access Leadoku. Help users perform Leadoku operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

### 8. Start chat loop and handle conversation

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Leadoku MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Leadoku.
Key features:
- Hosted MCP tool integration through Composio's Tool Router
- SQLite session persistence for conversation history
- Simple async chat loop for interactive testing
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 Leadoku MCP?

With a standalone Leadoku MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Leadoku tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Leadoku and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, you can. OpenAI Agents 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 Leadoku tools.

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

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