## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Persistiq to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Persistiq agent that can send personalized cold emails to new leads, create a follow-up sequence for prospects, log a completed sales call as a task through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Persistiq account through Composio's Persistiq 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 Persistiq
- Configure an AI agent that can use Persistiq as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Persistiq 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 Persistiq MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Persistiq MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your PersistIQ account. It provides structured and secure access to your sales automation workflows, so your agent can perform actions like managing campaigns, sending personalized emails, creating and updating leads, and automating sales tasks on your behalf.
- Personalized email campaign management: Let your agent create, schedule, and manage outbound email sequences to engage prospects at scale.
- Lead and contact automation: Seamlessly add, update, or remove leads and contacts, ensuring your sales pipeline is always fresh and accurate.
- Automated task handling: Enable your agent to create, update, or complete tasks, helping your team stay on top of follow-ups and to-dos.
- Activity tracking and reporting: Retrieve detailed reports and track engagement metrics, like email opens and replies, to measure campaign effectiveness.
- Sequence step optimization: Adjust and optimize sequence steps or schedules based on real-time insights, maximizing outreach performance.

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

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

## Conclusion

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

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

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

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