## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ORDINAL_ADD_IDEA_TO_CALENDAR` | Add Idea To Calendar | Convert an existing Ordinal idea into a regular calendar post on a chosen date. This does not schedule or externally publish the returned post. |
| `ORDINAL_CREATE_IDEA` | Create Idea | Create reusable Ordinal content for one or more supported social channels without adding it to the publishing calendar or publishing it externally. |
| `ORDINAL_CREATE_POST` | Create Post | Create an Ordinal calendar post with content for one or more social channels. This only creates the post: it does not schedule or publish anything; call SCHEDULE_POST separately to schedule external publication. |
| `ORDINAL_GET_POST` | Get Post | Return one Ordinal post by ID with its full channel content, attached assets, labels, profiles, status, and publish timing. |
| `ORDINAL_GET_PROFILE_ANALYTICS` | Get Profile Analytics | Return follower history or post performance for one connected LinkedIn or X scheduling profile over a date range. Requires a matching profile ID from LIST_PROFILES with profile_type='scheduling'; analytics are unavailable until that social profile is connected. |
| `ORDINAL_GET_WORKSPACE` | Get Workspace | Return the workspace bound to the connected Ordinal API key, including its ID, name, slug, timezone, and creation time. |
| `ORDINAL_LIST_IDEAS` | List Ideas | List non-archived content ideas with filters and one cursor-controlled page of results. |
| `ORDINAL_LIST_LABELS` | List Labels | Return workspace labels and their IDs for filtering or labeling posts and ideas. |
| `ORDINAL_LIST_POSTS` | List Posts | List non-archived workspace posts with filters and one cursor-controlled page of results. |
| `ORDINAL_LIST_PROFILES` | List Profiles | List connected social profiles by capability so their IDs can be used for scheduling, analytics, or auto-engagement workflows. |
| `ORDINAL_SCHEDULE_POST` | Schedule Post | Schedule or reschedule an Ordinal post for external publication to its configured social channels. WARNING: this creates or changes a future external social publication. It can be cancelled with UNSCHEDULE_POST before it fires, but publication is irreversible once sent. The post must contain at least one channel with a connected scheduling profile. |
| `ORDINAL_UNSCHEDULE_POST` | Unschedule Post | Cancel a pending scheduled publication and change the Ordinal post status to Finalized. This only cancels publication that has not occurred and cannot retract content that has already been published. |
| `ORDINAL_UPDATE_POST` | Update Post | Update selected fields or channel content on a non-archived Ordinal post. This does not schedule or publish the post. |

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Ordinal Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Ordinal actions with your Agent
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')

tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'List all scheduled Ordinal posts for this week'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');

const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'List all scheduled Ordinal posts for this week'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Ordinal
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Ordinal tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('List all scheduled Ordinal posts for this week')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'List all scheduled Ordinal posts for this week'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need my own developer credentials to use Ordinal with Composio?

Yes, Ordinal requires you to configure your own API key credentials. Once set up, Composio handles secure credential storage and API request handling for you. You can create an auth config with auth_configs.create(), link user credentials with connected_accounts.link(), and expose Ordinal through MCP with mcp.create().

### Can I use multiple toolkits together?

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. [Learn more](https://docs.composio.dev/tool-router/overview).

### Is Composio secure?

Composio is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant with all data encrypted in transit and at rest. [Learn more](https://trust.composio.dev).

### What if the API changes?

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.
