## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Onesignal user auth to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Onesignal user auth agent that can update device tags for a specific user, list all segments in your app, fetch tags assigned to player id 123 through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a Onesignal user auth account through Composio's Onesignal user auth MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## 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 Onesignal user auth MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Onesignal user auth MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Onesignal user auth account. It provides structured and secure access to your Onesignal workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing device tags, updating player records, inspecting app segments, and retrieving device information on your behalf.
- Device tag management: Assign or update custom tags on OneSignal devices to enable powerful audience segmentation and personalized messaging.
- Edit device/player attributes: Update details or attributes for any registered device (player) in your OneSignal app using your agent.
- Segment inspection and listing: Retrieve details for specific segments or list all segments in your app to optimize and analyze your audience targeting strategies.
- Device and app information retrieval: Look up detailed information about individual devices or your entire OneSignal app configuration as needed.
- View device tags and metadata: Fetch all key/value tags assigned to a particular player for deeper insight into user attributes and behaviors.

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

The Onesignal user auth MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Onesignal user auth. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth
- 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 Onesignal user auth
- MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["onesignal_user_auth"],
    )
    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 Onesignal user auth endpoint
- The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Onesignal user auth operations
- The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior
```python
# Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
onesignal_user_auth_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-5",
    toolsets=[onesignal_user_auth_mcp],
    instructions=(
        "You are a Onesignal user auth assistant. Use Onesignal user auth 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
- Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth.\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 Onesignal user auth
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["onesignal_user_auth"],
    )
    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
    onesignal_user_auth_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
    agent = Agent(
        "openai:gpt-5",
        toolsets=[onesignal_user_auth_mcp],
        instructions=(
            "You are a Onesignal user auth assistant. Use Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth.\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 Onesignal user auth through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Onesignal user auth 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 + Onesignal user auth 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 Onesignal user auth MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Onesignal user auth while using Tool Router?

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