## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Rootly to LangChain using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Rootly agent that can list all open incident action items, get details for action item id 12345, delete completed action item from incident through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your LangChain agent real control over a Rootly account through Composio's Rootly 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 OpenAI and Composio API keys
- Connect your Rootly project to Composio
- Create a Tool Router MCP session for Rootly
- Initialize an MCP client and retrieve Rootly tools
- Build a LangChain agent that can interact with Rootly
- Set up an interactive chat interface for testing

## What is LangChain?

LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It provides tools and abstractions for building agents that can reason, use tools, and maintain conversation context.
Key features include:
- Agent Framework: Build agents that can use tools and make decisions
- MCP Integration: Connect to external services through Model Context Protocol adapters
- Memory Management: Maintain conversation history across interactions
- Multi-Provider Support: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers

## What is the Rootly MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Rootly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Rootly account. It provides structured and secure access to your incident action items, so your agent can list, review, retrieve detailed information, and manage follow-up tasks on your behalf during or after incidents.
- Comprehensive action item retrieval: Instantly list all incident-related action items, making it easy for your agent to track ongoing or outstanding tasks.
- Detailed action item inspection: Pull up in-depth information for any action item—including summary, description, priority, status, and due date—to keep teams informed and accountable.
- Streamlined task management: Direct your agent to remove obsolete or completed action items, ensuring your incident follow-up list stays relevant and up to date.
- Automated follow-up coordination: Use your agent to monitor and organize post-incident tasks, helping your team close the loop on every incident and maintain operational excellence.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ROOTLY_DELETE_ACTION_ITEM` | Delete Action Item | This tool allows for the deletion of a specific action item in Rootly. It complements the existing ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS functionality by providing the ability to remove individual action items from the system. |
| `ROOTLY_DELETE_INCIDENT` | Delete Incident | Tool to delete an incident in Rootly by ID. Use when performing administrative cleanup. This is a destructive operation and depends on appropriate Rootly permissions. |
| `ROOTLY_GET_ACTION_ITEM` | Get Action Item Details | Retrieves detailed information about a specific action item by its ID from Rootly. Action items are tasks or follow-up items created during incident management to track work that needs to be completed. This tool returns comprehensive details including: - Core info: summary, description, kind (task/follow_up), priority, status, due_date - Assignment: assigned user and group IDs - Integration links: Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, and other connected tools - Metadata: creation and update timestamps, direct URL to the action item Use ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS first to discover available action item IDs if you don't already have one. |
| `ROOTLY_GET_INCIDENT` | Get Incident Details | Tool to retrieve full details for a single Rootly incident by ID. Use when you need complete incident information for drill-down after listing or searching incidents. Supports optional include parameter to fetch related resources like environments, services, action_items, and events in a single request. |
| `ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS` | List Action Items | This tool retrieves a list of all action items for an organization in Rootly. Action items are tasks or follow-up items that need to be completed during or after an incident, helping to track and manage incident-related tasks effectively. |
| `ROOTLY_UPDATE_INCIDENT` | Update Incident | Tool to update fields on an existing Rootly incident by ID. Use when you need to modify incident status, severity, metadata, or other attributes. Supports updating title, status, summary, severity_id, service_ids, environment_ids, and more. |

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

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

No description provided.

### 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'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider.
- 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-langchain langchain-mcp-adapters langchain python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/langchain @langchain/core @langchain/openai @langchain/mcp-adapters 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's API
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- OPENAI_API_KEY enables access to OpenAI's language models
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_composio_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

No description provided.
```python
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
import asyncio
import os

load_dotenv()
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { LangchainProvider } from '@composio/langchain';
import { MultiServerMCPClient } from "@langchain/mcp-adapters";
import { createAgent } from "langchain";
import * as readline from 'readline';
import 'dotenv/config';

dotenv.config();
```

### 5. Initialize Composio client

What's happening:
- We're loading the COMPOSIO_API_KEY from environment variables and validating it exists
- Creating a Composio instance that will manage our connection to Rootly tools
- Validating that COMPOSIO_USER_ID is also set before proceeding
```python
async def main():
    composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"))

    if not os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"):
        raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")
    if not os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID"):
        raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set")
```

```typescript
const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set');
if (!userId) throw new Error('COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set');

async function main() {
    const composio = new Composio({
        apiKey: composioApiKey as string,
        provider: new LangchainProvider()
    });
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What's happening:
- We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Rootly tools
- The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use
- This approach allows the agent to dynamically load and use Rootly tools as needed
```python
# Create Tool Router session for Rootly
session = composio.create(
    user_id=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID"),
    toolkits=['rootly']
)

url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
const session = await composio.create(
    userId as string,
    {
        toolkits: ['rootly']
    }
);

const url = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent with the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
client = MultiServerMCPClient({
    "rootly-agent": {
        "transport": "streamable_http",
        "url": session.mcp.url,
        "headers": {
            "x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
        }
    }
})

tools = await client.get_tools()

agent = create_agent("gpt-5", tools)
```

```typescript
const client = new MultiServerMCPClient({
    "rootly-agent": {
        transport: "http",
        url: url,
        headers: {
            "x-api-key": process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY
        }
    }
});

const tools = await client.getTools();

const agent = createAgent({ model: "gpt-5", tools });
```

### 8. Set up interactive chat interface

No description provided.
```python
conversation_history = []

print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n")
print("Ask any Rootly related question or task to the agent.\n")

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    conversation_history.append({"role": "user", "content": user_input})
    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    response = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": conversation_history})
    conversation_history = response['messages']
    final_response = response['messages'][-1].content
    print(f"Agent: {final_response}\n")
```

```typescript
let conversationHistory: any[] = [];

console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n");
console.log("Ask any Rootly related question or task to the agent.\n");

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

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;
    }

    conversationHistory.push({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput });
    console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n");

    const response = await agent.invoke({ messages: conversationHistory });
    conversationHistory = response.messages;

    const finalResponse = response.messages[response.messages.length - 1]?.content;
    console.log(`Agent: ${finalResponse}\n`);
        
        rl.prompt();
    });

    rl.on('close', () => {
        console.log('\n👋 Session ended.');
        process.exit(0);
    });
```

### 9. Run the application

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Rootly MCP?

With a standalone Rootly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Rootly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Rootly and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with LangChain?

Yes, you can. LangChain 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 Rootly tools.

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

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