## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Skyfire to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Skyfire agent that can check your skyfire wallet balance now, issue a pay token for $10 to buy service, list all ai services available for purchase through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Skyfire account through Composio's Skyfire 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 Skyfire
- Configure an AI agent that can use Skyfire as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Skyfire 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 Skyfire MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Skyfire MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Skyfire account. It provides structured and secure access to your autonomous payment and transaction infrastructure, so your agent can create tokens, pay for services, check balances, audit charges, and discover available AI-powered services on your behalf.
- Autonomous service payments: Let your agent issue payment tokens and seamlessly pay for AI services or digital goods without manual intervention.
- Wallet balance and charge auditing: Have your agent check buyer wallet balances before transactions and audit token charges to track exactly what was spent and when.
- Discovery of AI and digital services: Enable your agent to browse, filter, and retrieve detailed info about available services using tags or seller agents, streamlining selection and integration.
- Token management and automation: Allow your agent to create, manage, and charge Skyfire tokens (KYA, PAY, KYA+PAY), handling sophisticated payment flows programmatically.
- Service details and compliance checks: Instruct your agent to fetch detailed service terms, API specs, and integration URLs—helping ensure compliance and smooth onboarding before making purchases.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SKYFIRE_CHARGE_TOKEN` | Charge Skyfire Token | Charge a buyer's token (seller-side operation). REQUIRES SELLER API KEY: This action requires your seller agent API key, not the buyer's key. The buyer creates and sends you a pay/kya+pay token JWT, you provide the service, then call this endpoint to collect payment. Flow: Buyer creates token → Buyer calls your service with token → You validate token → You provide service → You call this to charge. Common errors: - 401: Invalid/expired token OR wrong API key (must use seller key) - 402: Charge amount exceeds token value |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_KYA_PAY_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire KYA+PAY Token | Issue a Skyfire KYA+PAY token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=kya+pay). |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_KYA_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire KYA Token | Issue a Skyfire KYA token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=kya). |
| `SKYFIRE_CREATE_PAY_TOKEN` | Create Skyfire PAY Token | Issue a Skyfire PAY token (POST /api/v1/tokens with type=pay). |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_ALL_SERVICE_TAGS` | Get All Service Tags | Fetch all service tags to discover filtering options. Chain with ListDirectoryServices using tags parameter to find specific types of services (e.g., 'ai', 'mcp', 'scraping'). |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_BUYER_WALLET_BALANCE` | Get Skyfire Buyer Wallet Balance | Retrieve buyer wallet balance. Chain before token creation to prevent declines. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_BY_ID` | Get Directory Service By ID | Tool to get full details for a specific service in the Skyfire directory by its ID. Use when you need complete information about a service including pricing, requirements, and seller details. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICE` | Get Skyfire Service Details | Get full details for one service. More detailed than ListDirectoryServices - shows terms of service, API specs, and integration URLs. Use before creating expensive tokens. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICES_BY_AGENT` | Get Services by Agent | Browse all services from one seller agent. Useful when you trust a seller and want to see their full catalog, or when tracking down who provides a specific type of service. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_SERVICES_BY_TAGS` | Get Services by Tags | Filter services by tags to find exactly what you need. More efficient than browsing all services when you know the category. Chain: GetAllServiceTags → GetServicesByTags → CreatePayToken. |
| `SKYFIRE_GET_TOKEN_CHARGES` | Get Skyfire Token Charges | Audit charges for a specific token. Shows exactly what sellers charged against your token and when. Use for reconciliation: "I authorized $5 max, what did they actually charge?" |
| `SKYFIRE_INTROSPECT_TOKEN` | Introspect Skyfire Token | Check if a token is still valid before calling a seller service. Prevents wasted API calls with expired tokens. Use after creating tokens if there's a delay before calling the seller, or when debugging payment issues. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_AGENT_SELLER_SERVICES` | List Agent Seller Services | List all services registered by the authenticated seller agent. Use when you need to view or manage your own services as a seller. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_BUYER_TOKENS` | List Skyfire Buyer Tokens | Inspect buyer tokens for observability. Chain with transactions to audit usage. |
| `SKYFIRE_LIST_DIRECTORY_SERVICES` | List Skyfire Directory Services | Browse Skyfire's service directory to obtain `sellerServiceId` for token creation. Chain this with CreatePayToken or CreateKyaPayToken. |
| `SKYFIRE_SET_AGENT_SOURCE_IPS` | Set Agent Source IP Addresses | Register IP addresses as sources for Agent requests (PUT /api/v1/agents/source-ips). Use before creating tokens to whitelist agent IPs. |

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

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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