This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI 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. ## Also integrate Skyfire with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - How to set up your Composio API key and User ID - How to create a Composio Tool Router session for Skyfire - How to attach an MCP Server to a Pydantic AI agent - How to stream responses and maintain chat history - How to build a simple REPL-style chat interface to test your Skyfire workflows ## What is Pydantic AI? Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications. Key features include: - Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation - MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers - Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses - Async First: Designed for async/await patterns ## 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. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## 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: - Python 3.9 or higher - A Composio account with an active API key - Basic familiarity with Python and async programming ### 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 Install the required libraries. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Skyfire - pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support - python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file ```bash pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API - USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access - OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ``` ### 4. Import dependencies What's happening: - We load environment variables and import required modules - Composio manages connections to Skyfire - MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Skyfire MCP server endpoint - Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router Session What's happening: - We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Skyfire 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 ```python async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Skyfire composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["skyfire"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") ``` ### 6. Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent What's happening: - The MCP client connects to the Skyfire endpoint - The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Skyfire operations - The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior ```python # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent skyfire_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[skyfire_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Skyfire assistant. Use Skyfire tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) ``` ### 7. Build the chat interface What's happening: - The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response - Skyfire API calls happen automatically under the hood - The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns ```python # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Skyfire.\n") while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() ``` ### 8. Run the application What's happening: - The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit ```python if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Skyfire composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["skyfire"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent skyfire_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[skyfire_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Skyfire assistant. Use Skyfire tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Skyfire.\n") while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Skyfire through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Skyfire actions through natural language. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Skyfire for workflow automation) This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations. ## How to build Skyfire MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/skyfire/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Stripe](https://composio.dev/toolkits/stripe) - Stripe is a global online payments platform offering APIs for managing payments, customers, and subscriptions.

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 Pydantic AI? Yes, you can. Pydantic 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 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
