## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MANUS_CREATE_FILE` | Create File | Tool to create a file record and obtain a presigned URL for uploading file content to S3. Use when you need to upload a file to Manus. After calling this action, use the returned upload_url with a PUT request to upload the actual file content. The upload URL expires at the timestamp specified in upload_expires_at. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create New Project | Tool to create a new project with default instructions. Projects organize tasks and apply consistent instructions across multiple task creations via the project_id parameter. Use when you need to set up a new project workspace for organizing related tasks. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_TASK` | Create New Task | Creates a new AI task with custom parameters, attachments, and optional connectors. Supports multi-turn conversations by specifying taskId for continuation. Use when you want to create a new task for the Manus agent to execute. |
| `MANUS_CREATE_WEBHOOK` | Create Webhook | Tool to register a webhook to receive real-time task notifications. Use when you need to set up real-time notifications for task events such as task_created, task_progress, and task_stopped. The webhook URL must be accessible over HTTPS and will receive POST requests with task event data in JSON format. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_FILE` | Delete a file | Deletes a file by ID. This removes both the file record and the file from S3 storage. Use when you need to remove a previously uploaded file from the Manus platform. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete task | Permanently delete a task by its ID. This action cannot be undone. Use this action when you want to permanently remove a task from the system. |
| `MANUS_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Removes a webhook subscription. This is a destructive operation that permanently removes the webhook. Use when you need to delete an existing webhook that is no longer needed. |
| `MANUS_GET_FILE` | Get file details | Retrieves details of a specific file by ID, including its status and metadata. Use this to get information about a previously uploaded file such as its name, current status (pending, uploaded, or deleted), and creation timestamp. |
| `MANUS_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Retrieves details of a specific task by ID, including status, output messages, credit usage, and metadata. Use this action to check the current status of a task and retrieve its results after it has been submitted. Example: Get the details of task with ID "Y7BNH7rfCVjxMQjU98R2wq". |
| `MANUS_GET_WEBHOOK_PUBLIC_KEY` | Get Webhook Public Key | Retrieves the RSA public key used for verifying webhook signatures. Use this key to validate that webhook requests genuinely came from Manus. This is essential for security - always verify webhook signatures before processing the payload. |
| `MANUS_LIST_FILES` | List uploaded files | Retrieves a list of the 10 most recently uploaded files. Use this action to get information about files that have been uploaded to the Manus platform, including their IDs, filenames, creation timestamps, and status. |
| `MANUS_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | Retrieve a list of all projects in your account with optional pagination. Use this action when you need to get all projects to find a specific project ID or to see all available projects. |
| `MANUS_LIST_TASKS` | List tasks | Retrieves a list of tasks with optional filtering and pagination. Allows searching, filtering by status, and sorting by creation or update time. Use this action to fetch multiple tasks at once, optionally filtered by status, project, search query, or time range. Supports pagination via 'after' cursor and sorting via 'order' and 'order_by' parameters. |
| `MANUS_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Updates a task's metadata such as title, sharing settings, and visibility in the task list. Use when you need to modify an existing task's properties like its title, enable or disable public sharing, or change its visibility in the task list. |

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

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

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

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

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

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Manus Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Manus actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Create a Manus task to research Q3 competitor launches and summarize the findings'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Create a Manus task to research Q3 competitor launches and summarize the findings'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

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

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

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

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Manus
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Manus tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Create a Manus task to research Q3 competitor launches and summarize the findings')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Create a Manus task to research Q3 competitor launches and summarize the findings'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
