## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Maintainx to Google ADK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Maintainx agent that can create a new urgent work order for hvac, list all open work orders at warehouse, add comment to work order 12345 through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Google ADK agent real control over a Maintainx account through Composio's Maintainx 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 a Maintainx account set up and connected to Composio
- Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
- Create a Composio Tool Router session for Maintainx
- Build an agent that connects to Maintainx through MCP
- Interact with Maintainx using natural language

## What is Google ADK?

Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
- Gemini Integration: Native support for Google's Gemini models
- MCP Toolset: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol tools
- Streamable HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
- CLI and Web UI: Run agents via command line or web interface

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

The Maintainx MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Maintainx account. It provides structured and secure access to your maintenance operations, so your agent can create work orders, update existing tasks, manage assets, and keep your teams aligned—automatically and on your behalf.
- Work order creation and management: Instantly have your agent create new work orders, add detailed descriptions, set priorities, and assign them to the right teams or users.
- Automated work order updates and comments: Let your agent update existing work orders or add comments for documentation and real-time communication between team members.
- Asset and location tracking: Effortlessly list and retrieve all assets and locations across your organization, helping you keep maintenance data organized and accessible.
- Category and team organization: Enable your agent to fetch and manage categories or teams, ensuring work orders and assets are classified and assigned correctly.
- Smart work request portals: Have your agent generate custom work request portals so stakeholders can submit maintenance requests easily and securely.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_ORDER` | Create Work Order | This tool creates a new work order in maintainx. it uses the post /api/v1/workorders endpoint. the tool requires a 'title' for the work order and offers several optional parameters including description, priority, duedate, startdate, userids, teamids, proceduretemplateid, locationid, assetid, and categories. |
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_ORDER_COMMENT` | Create Work Order Comment | This tool creates a new comment on an existing work order in maintainx. it allows users to add comments for documentation, updates, or communication purposes within a specific work order. it requires a workorderid and the text content of the comment to create a new comment on the work order, providing capabilities to update maintenance work order records. |
| `MAINTAINX_CREATE_WORK_REQUEST_PORTAL` | Create Work Request Portal | Creates a new work request portal in maintainx. a work request portal allows users to submit work requests through a dedicated url. the portal can be customized with a title, welcome text, and description placeholder. it can be associated with a specific location and asset, and can be configured to require email contact information. |
| `MAINTAINX_FIND_ENTITY` | Find Entity | A tool to search and find specific entities within maintainx by specified fields. this tool allows users to search for different types of entities including work orders, users, and locations. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_ASSETS` | List Assets | This tool allows users to retrieve a list of all assets in their organization. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_CATEGORIES` | List Categories | This tool retrieves a list of all categories in your maintainx organization. categories are used to organize and classify work orders, assets, and other items in the system. it supports listing the categories with pagination and provides details such as category id, name, description, and timestamps for creation and update. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_LOCATIONS` | List Locations | This tool retrieves a list of all available locations in the organization's maintainx account. the locations can be physical places where assets are located, work is performed, or maintenance is needed. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_TEAMS` | List Teams | This tool retrieves a list of all teams in your maintainx organization. |
| `MAINTAINX_LIST_WORK_ORDERS` | List Work Orders | Action to list work orders from maintainx. |
| `MAINTAINX_UPDATE_WORK_ORDER` | Update Work Order | This tool allows users to update an existing work order in maintainx by modifying specific attributes without affecting other unchanged fields. it requires the workorder id and at least one of the optional parameters (title, description, or priority) to perform the update. |
| `MAINTAINX_UPDATE_WORK_ORDER_STATUS` | Update Work Order Status | This tool allows users to update the status of a specific work order in maintainx. it is focused specifically on status updates, making it more streamlined than the comprehensive 'update work order' action which allows updating multiple fields. |

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

The Maintainx MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Maintainx. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Maintainx 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:
- A Google API key for Gemini models
- A Composio account and API key
- Python 3.9 or later installed
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key
- Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) and create an API key.
- Copy the key and keep it safe. You will put this in GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Composio API Key and User ID
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Composio API key. Use this for COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
- Decide on a stable user identifier to scope sessions, often your email or a user ID. Use this for COMPOSIO_USER_ID.

### 2. Install dependencies

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.
What's happening:
- google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
- composio connects your agent to Maintainx via MCP
- python-dotenv loads environment variables
```bash
pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up ADK project

Set up a new Google ADK project.
What's happening:
- This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file
```bash
adk create my_agent
```

### 4. Set environment variables

Save all your credentials in the .env file.
What's happening:
- GOOGLE_API_KEY authenticates with Google's Gemini models
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
```bash
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email
```

### 5. Import modules and validate environment

What's happening:
- os reads environment variables
- Composio is the main Composio SDK client
- GoogleProvider declares that you are using Google ADK as the agent runtime
- Agent is the Google ADK LLM agent class
- McpToolset lets the ADK agent call MCP tools over HTTP
```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")
```

### 6. Create Composio client and Tool Router session

What's happening:
- Authenticates to Composio with your API key
- Declares Google ADK as the provider
- Spins up a short-lived MCP endpoint for your user and selected toolkit
- Stores the MCP HTTP URL for the ADK MCP integration
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["maintainx"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url,
print(f"Composio MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
```

### 7. Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

What's happening:
- Connects the ADK agent to the Composio MCP endpoint through McpToolset
- Uses Gemini as the model powering the agent
- Lists exact tool names in instruction to reduce misnamed tool calls
```python
composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Maintainx operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

### 8. Run the agent

Execute the agent from the project root. The web command opens a web portal where you can chat with the agent.
What's happening:
- adk run runs the agent in CLI mode
- adk web . opens a web UI for interactive testing
```bash
# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web
```

## Complete Code

```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from composio_google import GoogleProvider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY, provider=GoogleProvider())

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["maintainx"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url


composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Maintainx operations."
    ),  
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Maintainx with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Maintainx using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
- The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Maintainx tools
- Environment variables keep your credentials secure and separate from code
- Clear agent instructions reduce tool calling errors
- The ADK web UI provides an interactive interface for testing and development
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Maintainx MCP?

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Google ADK?

Yes, you can. Google ADK 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 Maintainx tools.

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

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