## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting NetHunt CRM to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working NetHunt CRM agent that can list all open deals assigned to me, add a new contact with email and phone, update the stage of deal 'acme inc.' to 'negotiation' through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a NetHunt CRM account through Composio's NetHunt CRM 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 NetHunt CRM
- Configure an AI agent that can use NetHunt CRM as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform NetHunt CRM 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 NetHunt CRM MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The NetHunt CRM MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your NetHunt CRM account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform NetHunt CRM operations on your behalf.

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

The NetHunt CRM MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to NetHunt CRM. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform NetHunt CRM 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 NetHunt CRM 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
```

### 4. Import dependencies

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

load_dotenv()
```

    mcp_server = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["nethunt_crm"]
    )

    url = mcp_server.mcp.url

    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Session URL not found")
```

```typescript
async function chat() {
  const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;
  if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with NetHunt CRM 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 NetHunt CRM MCP?

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

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which NetHunt CRM 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?
