## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get a Screenshotone account set up and connected to Composio
- Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
- Create a Composio Tool Router session for Screenshotone
- Build an agent that connects to Screenshotone through MCP
- Interact with Screenshotone using natural language

## What is Google ADK?

Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
- Gemini Integration: Native support for Google's Gemini models
- MCP Toolset: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol tools
- Streamable HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
- CLI and Web UI: Run agents via command line or web interface

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

The Screenshotone MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Screenshotone account. It provides structured and secure access to high-quality website screenshot capabilities, so your agent can capture animated screenshots, customize output formats, control viewport settings, and automate site capture workflows on your behalf.
- Instant animated website capture: Direct your agent to take animated screenshots (videos or GIFs) of any public website with a single prompt.
- Custom animation scenarios: Have your agent simulate scrolling or user interactions to create more dynamic, realistic captures.
- Flexible format and duration: Specify if you want the output as a video or GIF and set the animation duration to suit your needs.
- Viewport and device emulation: Let your agent adjust viewport size, resolution, and device type for pixel-perfect screenshots across platforms.
- Automated visual documentation: Use your agent to generate and manage visual records of web pages for reporting, monitoring, or archiving workflows.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SCREENSHOTONE_GET_USAGE` | Get Usage | Tool to retrieve current API plan usage information. Returns total requests allowed, available requests remaining, used requests count, and concurrency limits for the current billing period. |
| `SCREENSHOTONE_LIST_DEVICES` | List Devices | Tool to retrieve the list of supported devices for viewport emulation. Use when you need to get available device IDs and their viewport configurations for device emulation in screenshot operations. |
| `SCREENSHOTONE_TAKE_ANIMATED_SCREENSHOT` | Take Animated Screenshot | This tool captures an animated screenshot (video or GIF) of a given website URL. It allows customization of the animation format, duration, viewport dimensions, and animation scenario (e.g., scrolling). |
| `SCREENSHOTONE_TAKE_BULK_SCREENSHOTS` | Take Bulk Screenshots | Tool to take multiple screenshots in a single request with shared defaults and individual overrides. Use when you need to capture screenshots of multiple URLs or the same URL with different parameters. Supports lazy loading (default) where screenshots are taken on download, or immediate execution with execute=true. |
| `SCREENSHOTONE_TAKE_SCREENSHOT` | Take Screenshot | Tool to generate a screenshot or PDF of a website, render HTML, or Markdown using POST request. Use when you need to capture webpage content in various formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, HTML). Supports both returning binary content directly or getting a cached URL via JSON response. |

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

The Screenshotone MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Screenshotone. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Screenshotone 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:
- A Google API key for Gemini models
- A Composio account and API key
- Python 3.9 or later installed
- Basic familiarity with Python

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

Google API Key
- Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) and create an API key.
- Copy the key and keep it safe. You will put this in GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Composio API Key and User ID
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Composio API key. Use this for COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
- Decide on a stable user identifier to scope sessions, often your email or a user ID. Use this for COMPOSIO_USER_ID.

### 2. Install dependencies

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.
What's happening:
- google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
- composio connects your agent to Screenshotone via MCP
- python-dotenv loads environment variables
```bash
pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up ADK project

Set up a new Google ADK project.
What's happening:
- This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file
```bash
adk create my_agent
```

### 4. Set environment variables

Save all your credentials in the .env file.
What's happening:
- GOOGLE_API_KEY authenticates with Google's Gemini models
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
```bash
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email
```

### 5. Import modules and validate environment

What's happening:
- os reads environment variables
- Composio is the main Composio SDK client
- GoogleProvider declares that you are using Google ADK as the agent runtime
- Agent is the Google ADK LLM agent class
- McpToolset lets the ADK agent call MCP tools over HTTP
```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")
```

### 6. Create Composio client and Tool Router session

What's happening:
- Authenticates to Composio with your API key
- Declares Google ADK as the provider
- Spins up a short-lived MCP endpoint for your user and selected toolkit
- Stores the MCP HTTP URL for the ADK MCP integration
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["screenshotone"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url,
print(f"Composio MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
```

### 7. Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

What's happening:
- Connects the ADK agent to the Composio MCP endpoint through McpToolset
- Uses Gemini as the model powering the agent
- Lists exact tool names in instruction to reduce misnamed tool calls
```python
composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Screenshotone operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

### 8. Run the agent

Execute the agent from the project root. The web command opens a web portal where you can chat with the agent.
What's happening:
- adk run runs the agent in CLI mode
- adk web . opens a web UI for interactive testing
```bash
# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web
```

## Complete Code

```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from composio_google import GoogleProvider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY, provider=GoogleProvider())

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["screenshotone"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url


composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Screenshotone operations."
    ),  
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Screenshotone with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Screenshotone using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
- The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Screenshotone tools
- Environment variables keep your credentials secure and separate from code
- Clear agent instructions reduce tool calling errors
- The ADK web UI provides an interactive interface for testing and development
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Google ADK?

Yes, you can. Google ADK 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 Screenshotone tools.

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

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