## 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 Pipeline crm
- Configure an AI agent that can use Pipeline crm as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Pipeline 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 Pipeline crm MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Pipeline 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 Pipeline crm account. It provides structured and secure access to your sales pipeline data, so your agent can perform actions like tracking leads, managing deals, updating company information, organizing tasks, and streamlining sales workflows on your behalf.
- Lead and company management: Effortlessly list, retrieve, or delete companies and leads, making it easy to keep your CRM up to date and focused on the right opportunities.
- Deal tracking and stage management: Let your agent fetch deal details, monitor deal stages, or remove outdated deals to ensure your pipeline always reflects current sales activity.
- Calendar task organization: Automatically list and retrieve calendar tasks, or pull specific task details by ID to stay on top of follow-ups and scheduled activities.
- Comprehensive sales workflow automation: Ask your agent to enumerate deal stages, manage associated tasks, and streamline repetitive CRM operations so your team can focus on closing more deals.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PIPELINE_CRM_CREATE_COMPANY` | Create Pipeline CRM Company | Creates a new company record in Pipeline CRM with contact details, address, and social media information. Use this tool when you need to add a new company to the CRM system. The only required field is the company name. You can optionally include contact information (email, phone, fax), address details, social media links, and assign owners or tags. Set check_for_duplicates=true to prevent creating companies with duplicate names. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_CREATE_DEAL` | Create Deal | Tool to create a new deal in Pipeline CRM. Use after gathering all details. Example: Create a deal named 'Big Partnership' worth 50000 USD in stage 2. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_DELETE_COMPANY` | Delete Company | Tool to delete a company by ID in Pipeline CRM. Use after confirming the company ID is correct. Example: "Delete company with ID 123". |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_DELETE_DEAL` | Delete Deal | Tool to delete a deal by ID. Use when you need to remove a deal from Pipeline CRM. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_DELETE_TASK` | Delete calendar task | Tool to delete a calendar task by ID. Use after confirming the task exists in Pipeline CRM. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_GET_COMPANY` | Get Company by ID | Retrieves comprehensive details for a specific company by ID from Pipeline CRM. Returns complete company information including contact details (multiple phones, email, social media), full address breakdown, owner details, financial metrics (pipeline/won deals totals), custom fields, tags, and next scheduled tasks. Use this when you need detailed information about a company after obtaining its ID from LIST_COMPANIES or CREATE_COMPANY actions. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_GET_DEAL` | Get Deal by ID | Tool to retrieve details for a specific deal by ID in Pipeline CRM. Use after confirming the deal ID. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_GET_STAGE` | Get Deal Stage by ID | Tool to retrieve details for a specific stage by ID in Pipeline CRM. Use after confirming the stage ID. |
| `PIPELINE_CRM_GET_TASK` | Get calendar task by ID | Tool to retrieve details for a specific task by ID in Pipeline CRM. Use after confirming the task ID. |

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

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Pipeline crm MCP?

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

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pipeline 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?

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 Pipeline crm data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
