## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Payhip to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Payhip agent that can notify me when a digital product is sold, alert on refunded payments this week, track new membership subscriptions daily through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Payhip account through Composio's Payhip 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 Payhip
- Configure an AI agent that can use Payhip as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Payhip 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 Payhip MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Payhip MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Payhip account. It provides structured and secure access to your Payhip store’s events and transactions, so your agent can respond to new purchases, handle refunds, and manage customer subscriptions automatically.
- Automated purchase handling: Let your agent detect and process completed sales in real time, enabling instant actions or notifications when a customer makes a purchase.
- Refund event response: Have your agent react to payment refunds, updating records or informing support teams as soon as a refund is issued.
- Subscription management automation: Empower your agent to handle new subscription signups by processing Payhip's subscription.created events for seamless onboarding or customer engagement.
- Subscription cancellation detection: Ensure your agent responds immediately to subscription.deleted events, so you can trigger follow-ups or update your CRM when a customer cancels their subscription.

## Supported Tools

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

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

No description provided.
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import readline from 'node:readline';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { query, type Options } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

dotenv.config();

## Conclusion

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

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

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

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