# How to integrate Softr MCP with Claude Agent SDK ```json { "title": "How to integrate Softr MCP with Claude Agent SDK", "toolkit": "Softr", "toolkit_slug": "softr", "framework": "Claude Agent SDK", "framework_slug": "claude-agents-sdk", "url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-agents-sdk", "markdown_url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-agents-sdk.md", "updated_at": "2026-03-29T06:51:11.068Z" } ``` ## Introduction This guide walks you through connecting Softr to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Softr agent that can list all users in your softr app, add a new record to products table, update user status to 'active' in softr through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Softr account through Composio's Softr MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Softr with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Softr - Configure an AI agent that can use Softr as a tool - Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Softr 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 Softr MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Softr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Softr account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Softr operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SOFTR_CREATE_DATABASE` | Create Database | Tool to create a new database in a Softr workspace.

It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Softr 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 Softr 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. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2.

Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") # Main chat loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit"}: print("Goodbye!") break # Send query await client.query(user_input) # Receive and print response print("Claude: ", end="", flush=True) async for message in client.receive_response(): if hasattr(message, "content"): for block in message.content: if hasattr(block, "text"): print(block.text, end="", flush=True) print() ``` ```typescript const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: 'You: ' }); console.log('\nChat started. Type "exit" to quit.\n'); let isProcessing = false; async function ask(prompt: string) { isProcessing = true; rl.pause(); process.stdout.write('Claude is thinking...'); const stream = query({ prompt, options }); let firstChunk = true; for await (const msg of stream) { const content = (msg as any).message?.content || (msg as any).content; if (Array.isArray(content)) { for (const block of content) { if (block.type === 'text' && block.text) { if (firstChunk) { process.stdout.write('\r\x1b[K'); process.stdout.write('Claude: '); firstChunk = false; } process.stdout.write(block.text); } } } } process.stdout.write('\n\n'); isProcessing = false; rl.resume(); rl.prompt(); } rl.on('line', async (line) => { if (isProcessing) return; const input = line.trim(); if (input === 'exit') { rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (input) await ask(input); else rl.prompt(); }); await ask('What can you help me with?'); } ``` ### 8.

Key features: - Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework - Streaming responses for real-time interaction - Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent. ## How to build Softr MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/softr/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Softr MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Softr tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Softr 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 Softr tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Softr while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Softr 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 Softr data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
