## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Retailed to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Retailed agent that can show current goat prices for product id 12345, find trending sneakers on stockx today, get stockx details for sku aq2667-200 through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Retailed account through Composio's Retailed 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 Retailed
- Configure an AI agent that can use Retailed as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Retailed 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 Retailed MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Retailed MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Retailed account. It provides structured and secure access to your retail data and e-commerce integrations, so your agent can perform actions like product searches, dynamic price retrieval, trend analysis, inventory checks, and API usage monitoring on your behalf.
- Real-time product search and discovery: Instantly search for products across supported platforms and retrieve detailed information based on your custom criteria.
- Dynamic pricing and size-based quotes: Ask your agent to pull the latest pricing for specific products and sizes from marketplaces like GOAT and StockX.
- Trend analysis and market insights: Have the agent surface the latest trending products from StockX, helping you spot opportunities and popular items quickly.
- Comprehensive product metadata access: Retrieve in-depth product metadata from StockX by SKU or URL for more informed decisions and listings.
- API usage and quota monitoring: Let your agent track your current API usage statistics, so you stay on top of your account limits and avoid surprises.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `RETAILED_GET_GOAT_PRICES` | Get GOAT Product Prices | Tool to retrieve pricing information for a specific product on GOAT. Use when you need up-to-date size-based pricing. Call after confirming product_id. |
| `RETAILED_GET_STOCK_X_PRODUCT` | Get StockX Product | Tool to retrieve detailed StockX product information, including variant-level data. Use when you need comprehensive metadata from StockX by SKU or URL. Response is structured per variant; aggregate price or inventory metrics across variants only after grouping by variant to avoid distortion. |
| `RETAILED_GET_STOCKX_SEARCH` | StockX Search | Tool to search StockX marketplace for products and pricing information. Use when you have a search term and need up-to-date listings on StockX. Note: SKU identifiers and size labels in results may differ from other marketplaces (e.g., GOAT); normalize these fields before cross-platform price comparisons. |
| `RETAILED_GET_STOCKX_TRENDS` | StockX Trends | Tool to get the latest trending products from StockX. Use when you want to discover current trending items. |
| `RETAILED_GET_USAGE` | Get API Usage | Tool to retrieve current API usage statistics. The only mechanism to check remaining API credits; call proactively before long-running analyses to prevent mid-run quota exhaustion. |
| `RETAILED_SEARCH_PRODUCTS` | Search Products | Search for products in Retailed database matching query criteria. Uses Retailed's granular querying language with support for filtering by name, SKU, brand. SKUs and size labels are not standardized across sources; normalize product IDs and size labels before comparing results across marketplaces. |

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

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

### 5. Create a Composio instance and Tool Router session

    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)

    # Create Tool Router session for Retailed
    mcp_server = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["retailed"]
    )

    url = mcp_server.mcp.url

    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Session URL not found")
```

## Conclusion

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

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

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

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