## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `THREADS_CREATE_AND_SHARE_POST` | Create and Share Post | Create and publish a top-level Threads post and cross-share it to the linked Instagram account as a Story. Returns crossreshare_to_ig_status to report whether the Story cross-share succeeded independently of Threads publication. |
| `THREADS_CREATE_POST` | Create Post | Create and publish a top-level Threads text, image, video, carousel, quote, poll, ghost, GIF, or text-attachment post, optionally with a location tag. |

| `THREADS_GET_PUBLISHING_LIMITS` | Get Publishing Limits | Return current usage and configured quota for Threads posts, replies, deletes, location searches, or all publishing categories. |
| `THREADS_LIST_GHOST_POSTS` | List Ghost Posts | List active and archived ghost posts created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_MY_MENTIONS` | List My Mentions | List public Threads posts that mention the connected profile, one cursor page at a time. With development access, Threads may return only mentions made by app testers, so an empty page does not prove that no public mentions exist. |
| `THREADS_LIST_MY_POSTS` | List My Posts | List posts created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_MY_REPLIES` | List My Replies | List replies created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_PENDING_REPLIES` | List Pending Replies | List one page of pending or ignored replies for an owned Threads post. The post must have been created with reply approvals enabled. |
| `THREADS_LIST_POST_REPLIES` | List Post Replies | Return either immediate replies or the flattened full conversation for a Threads post, one cursor page at a time. |
| `THREADS_LIST_PUBLIC_PROFILE_POSTS` | List Public Profile Posts | List one cursor page of posts from a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts, and returned post IDs may not support direct retrieval until the app has advanced access. |
| `THREADS_LOOKUP_PUBLIC_PROFILE` | Lookup Public Profile | Look up a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Profiles generally need at least 100 followers, and standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts. |
| `THREADS_REPOST_POST` | Repost Post | Repost an existing Threads post to the connected profile; this creates a visible post. |
| `THREADS_REVIEW_PENDING_REPLY` | Review Pending Reply | Approve or ignore one pending reply; an ignored reply can later be approved. |
| `THREADS_SEARCH_LOCATIONS` | Search Locations | Search Threads locations by text, coordinates, or both. Returns the provider-ranked unpaginated result set. |
| `THREADS_SEARCH_POSTS` | Search Posts | Search one page of Threads posts by keyword or topic tag. Broader public results require Meta advanced access, so an empty page may reflect app-review limits rather than no public matches. |
| `THREADS_SET_REPLY_VISIBILITY` | Set Reply Visibility | Hide or unhide a top-level reply and its nested replies on a post managed by the connected profile. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
```python
pip install composio composio_openai openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Create a Composio session

Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Threads
```python
import json
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
client = OpenAI()

session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["threads"])
tools = session.tools()
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["threads"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Run Threads tools with your agent

Send a request, execute the Threads tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
```python
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools=tools,
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Publish a Threads post saying 'Our new product update is live today.'"}],
)

while True:
    tool_calls = [o for o in response.output if o.type == "function_call"]
    if not tool_calls:
        break
    results = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)
    response = client.responses.create(
        model="gpt-5.6-sol",
        tools=tools,
        previous_response_id=response.id,
        input=[
            {"type": "function_call_output", "call_id": call.call_id, "output": json.dumps(results[i])}
            for i, call in enumerate(tool_calls)
        ],
    )

print(response.output_text)
```

```typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Publish a Threads post saying 'Our new product update is live today.'" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create a session with MCP enabled

Create a session scoped to Threads and read its MCP URL and headers
```python
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["threads"], mcp=True)
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["threads"],
  mcp: true,
});
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect your agent to the MCP server

Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Threads request
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions, AssistantMessage, TextBlock

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": session.mcp.url,
            "headers": session.mcp.headers,
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to Threads tools.",
    tools=[],
    allowed_tools=["mcp__composio__*"],
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("Publish a Threads post saying 'Our new product update is live today.'")
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if isinstance(message, AssistantMessage):
                for block in message.content:
                    if isinstance(block, TextBlock):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Publish a Threads post saying 'Our new product update is live today.'",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
```
