With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Specific with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Specific with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Specific to VS Code ### Integrate Specific MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Specific MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Specific MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Specific account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Specific operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SPECIFIC_CREATE_COMPANY` | Create Company | Tool to create a new company record in the Specific platform.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Specific MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/specific/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Aeroleads](https://composio.dev/toolkits/aeroleads) - Aeroleads is a B2B lead generation platform for finding business emails and phone numbers.

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