## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Retailed to Mastra AI 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 Mastra AI 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:
- Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together
- Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Retailed tools
- Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL
- Fetch Retailed tool definitions and attach them as a toolset
- Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results
- Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Retailed agent

## What is Mastra AI?

Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP.
Key features include:
- MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups
- Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution
- OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai

## 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:
- Node.js 18 or higher
- A Composio account with an active API key
- An OpenAI API key
- Basic familiarity with TypeScript

### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key
- Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key.
- You need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models.
- Store the key somewhere safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.
- This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Retailed through MCP.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the required packages.
What's happening:
- @composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions
- @mastra/core provides the Agent class
- @mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client
- @ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI
- dotenv loads environment variables from .env
```bash
npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your requests to Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to
- OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import libraries and validate environment

What's happening:
- dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available
- openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper
- Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers
- MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server
- Composio is used to create a Tool Router session
```typescript
import "dotenv/config";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import * as readline from "readline";

import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent";

const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID;

if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set");

const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioAPIKey as string,
});
```

### 5. Create a Tool Router session for Retailed

What's happening:
- create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user
- The toolkits array contains "retailed" for Retailed access
- session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to
```typescript
async function main() {
  const session = await composio.create(
    composioUserID as string,
    {
      toolkits: ["retailed"],
    },
  );

  const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url;
  console.log("Retailed MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl);
```

### 6. Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools

What's happening:
- MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers
- The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication
- getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Retailed toolkit
```typescript
const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
    id: composioUserID as string,
    servers: {
      nasdaq: {
        url: new URL(composioMCPUrl),
        requestInit: {
          headers: session.mcp.headers,
        },
      },
    },
    timeout: 30_000,
  });

console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio...");
const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools();
console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length);
```

### 7. Create the Mastra agent

What's happening:
- Agent is the core Mastra agent
- name is just an identifier for logging and debugging
- instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language
- model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM
```typescript
const agent = new Agent({
    name: "retailed-mastra-agent",
    instructions: "You are an AI agent with Retailed tools via Composio.",
    model: "openai/gpt-5",
  });
```

### 8. Set up interactive chat interface

What's happening:
- messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format
- agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Retailed toolsets
- maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run
- onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging
```typescript
let messages: AiMessageType[] = [];

console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n");

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  prompt: "> ",
});

rl.prompt();

rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => {
  const trimmedInput = userInput.trim();

  if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) {
    console.log("\nGoodbye!");
    rl.close();
    process.exit(0);
  }

  if (!trimmedInput) {
    rl.prompt();
    return;
  }

  messages.push({
    id: crypto.randomUUID(),
    role: "user",
    content: trimmedInput,
  });

  console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n");

  try {
    const response = await agent.generate(messages, {
      toolsets: {
        retailed: composioTools,
      },
      maxSteps: 8,
    });

    const { text } = response;

    if (text && text.trim().length > 0) {
      console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`);
        messages.push({
          id: crypto.randomUUID(),
          role: "assistant",
          content: text,
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("\nError:", error);
    }

    rl.prompt();
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    console.log("\nSession ended.");
    await mcpClient.disconnect();
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Fatal error:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

      rl.close();
      return;
    }

    messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmed });

    const { text } = await agent.generate(messages, {
      toolsets: { retailed: composioTools },
      maxSteps: 8,
    });

    if (text) {
      console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`);
      messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text });
    }

    rl.prompt();
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    await mcpClient.disconnect();
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main();
```

## 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 Mastra AI?

Yes, you can. Mastra AI 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.
