## What is Pydantic AI?

Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications.
Key features include:
- Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation
- MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses
- Async First: Designed for async/await patterns

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

The Mem MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mem account. It provides structured and secure access to your notes and collections, so your agent can perform actions like creating notes, organizing collections, retrieving note content, and deleting outdated information on your behalf.
- Automated note creation: Ask your agent to quickly capture ideas, meeting summaries, or research notes and save them directly into your Mem workspace.
- Organize with collections: Direct your agent to group related notes by creating new collections for projects, topics, or teams, keeping your knowledge base tidy and efficient.
- Retrieve and review notes: Let your agent fetch the content and metadata of any note by its identifier, making it easy to reference or summarize past information.
- Cleanup and delete notes or collections: Instruct your agent to remove outdated notes or entire collections for a clutter-free knowledge base.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MEM_CREATE_COLLECTION` | Create Collection | Creates a new collection in Mem for organizing and grouping related notes. Collections are containers that help categorize notes by topic, project, or any organizational scheme. Each collection has a title and optional description. Use this action when you need to: - Create a new organizational container for notes - Set up a project workspace with a descriptive title - Organize notes by category or theme Returns the created collection's details including its unique ID. |
| `MEM_CREATE_NOTE_V2` | Create Note V2 | Tool to create a new note with markdown content and optional collection associations. The first line of content is automatically interpreted as the title. Use when you need to create a note and optionally add it to one or more collections by ID or title. |
| `MEM_DELETE_COLLECTION` | Delete Collection | Tool to permanently delete a Mem collection. Deletion is irreversible — only invoke after explicit user confirmation and verification of the correct collection_id. |
| `MEM_DELETE_NOTE` | Delete Note | Tool to permanently delete a specific note. Deletion is irreversible — obtain explicit user confirmation before calling. Use when you need to remove a note by its unique identifier after confirming the note_id. |
| `MEM_GET_COLLECTION` | Get Collection | Retrieve the details of a Mem collection by its UUID. Returns the collection's title, description, and timestamps. Use this when you need to fetch metadata for a specific collection. |
| `MEM_LIST_COLLECTIONS` | List Collections | List collections with pagination support. Returns collections sorted by updated_at or created_at. Use this action to retrieve all collections or browse through collections page by page. |
| `MEM_LIST_NOTES` | List Notes | Tool to list notes with pagination and filtering options. Supports filtering by collection, task presence, image presence, and file presence. Use when you need to retrieve multiple notes or search for notes matching specific criteria. |
| `MEM_READ_NOTE` | Read Note | Retrieve the content and metadata of a Mem note by its UUID. Returns the note's title, markdown content, timestamps, and collection membership. Use this when you need to read or display an existing note's content. |
| `MEM_SAVE_CONTENT` | Save Content | Tool to process and remember any raw content using AI. Accepts web pages, emails, transcripts, articles, or simple text. Use when you want to save and process content with optional instructions on how to process it and context about how it relates to existing knowledge. |
| `MEM_SEARCH_COLLECTIONS` | Search Collections | Tool to search collections using an optional query string. Use when you need to find or list collections by title or description. |
| `MEM_SEARCH_NOTES` | Search Notes | Tool to search notes in Mem using a query string with optional filtering. Supports filtering by collection IDs, task presence, image presence, and file presence. |

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

The Mem MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Mem. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Mem 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:
- Python 3.9 or higher
- A Composio account with an active API key
- Basic familiarity with Python and async programming

### 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 the required libraries.
What's happening:
- composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Mem
- pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support
- python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file
```bash
pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API
- USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access
- OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- We load environment variables and import required modules
- Composio manages connections to Mem
- MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Mem MCP server endpoint
- Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP

load_dotenv()
```

### 5. Create a Tool Router Session

What's happening:
- We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Mem tools
- The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use
```python
async def main():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")
    if not api_key or not user_id:
        raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment")

    # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Mem
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["mem"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")
```

### 6. Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent

What's happening:
- The MCP client connects to the Mem endpoint
- The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Mem operations
- The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior
```python
# Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
mem_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-5",
    toolsets=[mem_mcp],
    instructions=(
        "You are a Mem assistant. Use Mem tools to help users "
        "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed."
    ),
)
```

### 7. Build the chat interface

What's happening:
- The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response
- Mem API calls happen automatically under the hood
- The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns
```python
# Simple REPL with message history
history = []
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
print("Try asking the agent to help you with Mem.\n")

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", flush=True)

    async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result:
        collected_text = ""
        async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output():
            text_piece = None
            if isinstance(chunk, str):
                text_piece = chunk
            elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str):
                text_piece = chunk.delta
            elif hasattr(chunk, "text"):
                text_piece = chunk.text
            if text_piece:
                collected_text += text_piece
        result = stream_result

    print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n")
    history = result.all_messages()
```

### 8. Run the application

What's happening:
- The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Complete Code

```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP

load_dotenv()

async def main():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")
    if not api_key or not user_id:
        raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment")

    # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Mem
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["mem"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")

    # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
    mem_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
    agent = Agent(
        "openai:gpt-5",
        toolsets=[mem_mcp],
        instructions=(
            "You are a Mem assistant. Use Mem tools to help users "
            "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed."
        ),
    )

    # Simple REPL with message history
    history = []
    print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
    print("Try asking the agent to help you with Mem.\n")

    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", flush=True)

        async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result:
            collected_text = ""
            async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output():
                text_piece = None
                if isinstance(chunk, str):
                    text_piece = chunk
                elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str):
                    text_piece = chunk.delta
                elif hasattr(chunk, "text"):
                    text_piece = chunk.text
                if text_piece:
                    collected_text += text_piece
            result = stream_result

        print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n")
        history = result.all_messages()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Conclusion

You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Mem through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Mem actions through natural language.
You can extend this further by:
- Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce
- Building a web-based chat interface around this agent
- Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Mem for workflow automation)
This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Pydantic AI?

Yes, you can. Pydantic AI 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 Mem tools.

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

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