## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Moneybird to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Moneybird agent that can create a sales invoice for a new client, filter contacts added this month, add a note to a specific contact through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Moneybird account through Composio's Moneybird 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 Moneybird
- Configure an AI agent that can use Moneybird as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Moneybird 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 Moneybird MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Moneybird MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Moneybird account. It provides structured and secure access to your invoicing and accounting data, so your agent can perform actions like creating contacts, sending invoices, managing notes, and keeping your financial records up to date on your behalf.
- Automated contact creation and management: Instantly add new clients or companies, update existing records, archive unused contacts, or remove outdated information—without manual entry.
- Easy invoice generation: Direct your agent to create detailed sales invoices for any contact, including custom line items, for fast and accurate billing.
- Contact note and to-do tracking: Record comments, assign to-dos, and manage notes on contacts, ensuring follow-ups and client history are always at your fingertips.
- Contact filtering and segmentation: Effortlessly filter and retrieve contacts based on criteria like creation date or name, making it easy to target communications or review segments of your client base.
- Comprehensive contact person management: Add or remove individual contact persons linked to organizations, keeping your records detailed and up to date for every client relationship.

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

The Moneybird MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Moneybird. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Moneybird 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 Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Moneybird account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) 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](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

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk @composio/core dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

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
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with Moneybird through Composio's Tool Router.
Key features:
- Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework
- Streaming responses for real-time interaction
- Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows
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 Moneybird MCP?

With a standalone Moneybird MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Moneybird tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Moneybird 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 Moneybird tools.

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

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