Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Mem0 to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Mem0 agent that can store meeting notes from today's call, export all project memories as csv, add new user to our team space, search recent notes mentioning quarterly goals through natural language commands.

This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Mem0 account through Composio's Mem0 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 Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
  • Install the necessary dependencies
  • Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Mem0
  • Configure an AI agent that can use Mem0 as a tool
  • Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Mem0 operations

What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.

Key features include:

  • Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
  • Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
  • Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
  • Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

What is the Mem0 MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Mem0 MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mem0 account. It provides structured and secure access to your notes, projects, and organizational knowledge, so your agent can perform actions like searching memories, managing users, adding content, and orchestrating agent runs on your behalf.

  • AI-powered memory search and recall: Let your agent search and retrieve existing memory entries using advanced filters and pagination to surface just the right note or piece of information.
  • Automated content and note creation: Have your agent store new memory records from conversations, meetings, or tasks—ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Collaboration and organization management: Direct your agent to add members to projects or organizations, assign roles, and keep team structures up to date.
  • Agent and application orchestration: Enable your agent to create new AI agents, initiate agent runs, and manage applications for custom workflows and automation.
  • Structured knowledge export and reporting: Ask your agent to initiate export jobs with specific schemas and filters, so you can back up or analyze your stored knowledge on demand.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Add member to projectAdds an existing user to a project (identified by `project id` within organization `org id`), assigning a valid system role.
Add new memory recordsStores new memory records from a list of messages, optionally inferring structured content; requires association via `agent id`, `user id`, `app id`, or `run id`.
Add organization memberAdds a new member, who must be a registered user, to an organization, assigning them a specific role.
Create a new agentCreates a new agent with a unique `agent id` and an optional `name`; additional metadata may be assigned by the system.
Create a new agent runCreates a new agent run in the mem0.
Create a new applicationCreates a new application, allowing metadata to be passed in the request body (not an explicit field in this action's request model); ensure `app id` is unique to avoid potential errors or unintended updates.
Create a new organization entryCreates a new organization entry using the provided name and returns its details.
Create a new userCreates a new user with the specified unique `user id` and supports associating `metadata` (not part of the request schema fields).
Create an export job with schemaInitiates an asynchronous job to export memories, structured by a schema provided in the request body and allowing optional filters.
Create memory entryLists/searches existing memory entries with filtering and pagination; critically, this action retrieves memories and does *not* create new ones, despite its name.
Create projectCreates a new project with a given name within an organization that must already exist.
Delete an organizationPermanently deletes an existing organization identified by its unique id.
Delete memory by idPermanently deletes a specific memory by its unique id; ensure the `memory id` exists as this operation is irreversible.
Delete entity by type and idCall to permanently and irreversibly hard-delete an existing entity (user, agent, app, or run) and all its associated data, using its type and id.
Delete memoriesDeletes memories matching specified filter criteria; omitting all filters may result in deleting all memories.
Delete memory batch with uuidsDeletes a batch of up to 1000 existing memories, identified by their uuids, in a single api call.
Delete projectPermanently deletes a specific project and all its associated data from an organization; this action cannot be undone and requires the project to exist within the specified organization.
Delete project memberRemoves an existing member, specified by username, from a project, immediately revoking their project-specific access; the user is not removed from the organization.
Export data based on filtersRetrieves memory export data, optionally filtered by various identifiers (e.
List organizationsRetrieves a summary list of organizations for administrative oversight; returns summary data (names, ids), not exhaustive details, despite 'detailed' in the name.
Fetch details of a specific organizationFetches comprehensive details for an organization using its `org id`; the `org id` must be valid and for an existing organization.
Get list of entity filtersRetrieves predefined filter definitions for entities (e.
Get entity by idFetches detailed information for an existing entity (user, agent, app, or run) identified by its type and unique id.
Get organization membersFetches a list of members for a specified, existing organization.
Get project detailsFetches comprehensive details for a specified project within an organization.
Get project membersRetrieves all members for a specified project within an organization.
Get projectsRetrieves all projects for a given organization `org id` to which the caller has access.
Get user memory statsRetrieves a summary of the authenticated user's memory activity, including total memories created, search events, and add events.
List entitiesRetrieves a list of entities, optionally filtered by organization or project (prefer `org id`/`project id` over deprecated `org name`/`project name`), noting results may be summaries and subject to limits.
Perform semantic search on memoriesSearches memories semantically using a natural language query (required if `only metadata based search` is false) and/or metadata filters.
Remove a member from the organizationRemoves a member, specified by their username, from an existing organization of which they are currently a member.
Retrieve all events for the currently logged in userRetrieves a paginated list of events for the authenticated user, filterable and paginable via url query parameters.
Retrieve entity-specific memoriesRetrieves all memories (e.
Retrieve list of memory eventsRetrieves a chronological list of all memory events (e.
Retrieve memory by idRetrieves a complete memory entry by its unique identifier; `memory id` must be valid and for an existing memory.
Retrieve memory history by idRetrieves the complete version history for an existing memory, using its unique `memory id`, to inspect its evolution or audit changes.
Retrieve memory listRetrieves a list of memories, supporting pagination and diverse filtering (e.
Search memories with filtersSemantically searches memories using a natural language query and mandatory structured filters, offering options to rerank results and select specific fields; any provided `org id` or `project id` must reference a valid existing entity.
Update memory batch with uuidUpdates text for up to 1000 memories in a single batch, using their uuids.
Update memory text contentUpdates the text content of an existing memory, identified by its `memory id`.
Update organization member roleUpdates the role of an existing member to a new valid role within an existing organization.
Update projectUpdates a project by `project id` within an `org id`, modifying only provided fields (name, description, custom instructions, custom categories); list fields are fully replaced (cleared by `[]`), other omitted/null fields remain unchanged.
Update project member roleUpdates the role of a specific member within a designated project, ensuring the new role is valid and recognized by the system.

What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Tool Router?

Composio's Tool Router helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Tool Router

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Tool Router works

The Tool Router follows a three-phase workflow:

  1. Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
  2. Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
  3. Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
  • Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
  • Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
  • A Mem0 account
  • Some knowledge of Python

Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
  • Go to the Anthropic Console and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
  • Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
  • Log in to the Composio dashboard.
  • Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
  • Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

Install dependencies

pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv

Install the Composio SDK and the Claude Agents SDK.

What's happening:

  • composio-anthropic provides Composio integration for Anthropic
  • claude-agent-sdk is the core agent framework
  • python-dotenv loads environment variables

Set up environment variables

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

Create a .env file in your project root.

What's happening:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
  • USER_ID identifies the user for session management
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude

Import dependencies

import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
What's happening:
  • We're importing all necessary libraries including the Claude Agent SDK and Composio
  • The load_dotenv() function loads environment variables from your .env file
  • This setup prepares the foundation for connecting Claude with Mem0 functionality

Create a Composio instance and Tool Router session

async def chat_with_remote_mcp():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    if not api_key:
        raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")

    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)

    # Create Tool Router session for Mem0
    mcp_server = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["mem0"]
    )

    url = mcp_server.mcp.url

    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Session URL not found")
What's happening:
  • The function checks for the required COMPOSIO_API_KEY environment variable
  • We're creating a Composio instance using our API key
  • The create method creates a Tool Router session for Mem0
  • The returned url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use

Configure Claude Agent with MCP

# Configure remote MCP server for Claude
options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode="bypassPermissions",
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": url,
            "headers": {
                "x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Mem0 tools via Composio.",
    max_turns=10
)
What's happening:
  • We're configuring the Claude Agent options with the MCP server URL
  • permission_mode="bypassPermissions" allows the agent to execute operations without asking for permission each time
  • The system prompt instructs the agent that it has access to Mem0
  • max_turns=10 limits the conversation length to prevent excessive API usage

Create client and start chat loop

# Create client with context manager
async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
    print("\nChat started. Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

    # Main chat loop
    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit"}:
            print("Goodbye!")
            break

        # Send query
        await client.query(user_input)

        # Receive and print response
        print("Claude: ", end="", flush=True)
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, "content"):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, "text"):
                        print(block.text, end="", flush=True)
        print()
What's happening:
  • The Claude SDK client is created using the async context manager pattern
  • The agent processes each query and streams the response back in real-time
  • The chat loop continues until the user types 'exit' or 'quit'

Run the application

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(chat_with_remote_mcp())
What's happening:
  • This entry point runs the async chat_with_remote_mcp() function using asyncio.run()
  • The application will start, create the MCP connection, and begin the interactive chat session

How to build Mem0 MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Mem0 MCP?

With a standalone Mem0 MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Mem0 tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Mem0 and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent 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 Mem0 tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Mem0 while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Mem0 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 Mem0 data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
