## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

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

Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
```python
pip install composio composio_openai openai
```

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

#### Path 1, Step 2: Create a Composio session

Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Radar
```python
import json
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
client = OpenAI()

session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["radar"])
tools = session.tools()
```

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

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["radar"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Run Radar tools with your agent

Send a request, execute the Radar tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
```python
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools=tools,
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Show users currently inside the Downtown geofence"}],
)

while True:
    tool_calls = [o for o in response.output if o.type == "function_call"]
    if not tool_calls:
        break
    results = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)
    response = client.responses.create(
        model="gpt-5.6-sol",
        tools=tools,
        previous_response_id=response.id,
        input=[
            {"type": "function_call_output", "call_id": call.call_id, "output": json.dumps(results[i])}
            for i, call in enumerate(tool_calls)
        ],
    )

print(response.output_text)
```

```typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Show users currently inside the Downtown geofence" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

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

Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

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

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create a session with MCP enabled

Create a session scoped to Radar and read its MCP URL and headers
```python
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["radar"], mcp=True)
```

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

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["radar"],
  mcp: true,
});
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect your agent to the MCP server

Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Radar request
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions, AssistantMessage, TextBlock

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": session.mcp.url,
            "headers": session.mcp.headers,
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Radar tools.",
    tools=[],
    allowed_tools=["mcp__composio__*"],
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("Show users currently inside the Downtown geofence")
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if isinstance(message, AssistantMessage):
                for block in message.content:
                    if isinstance(block, TextBlock):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Show users currently inside the Downtown geofence",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
```
