This guide will help you understand how to give your Vercel AI SDK agent real control over a Ticktick account through Composio's Ticktick MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Ticktick with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/langchain) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - How to set up and configure a Vercel AI SDK agent with Ticktick integration - Using Composio's Tool Router to dynamically load and access Ticktick tools - Creating an MCP client connection using HTTP transport - Building an interactive CLI chat interface with conversation history management - Handling tool calls and results within the Vercel AI SDK framework ## What is Vercel AI SDK? The Vercel AI SDK is a TypeScript library for building AI-powered applications. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services and maintain conversation state. Key features include: - streamText: Core function for streaming responses with real-time tool support - MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol via @ai-sdk/mcp - Step Counting: Control multi-step tool execution with stopWhen: stepCountIs() - OpenAI Provider: Native integration with OpenAI models ## What is the Ticktick MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ticktick MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ticktick account. It provides structured and secure access to your task lists and projects, so your agent can create, manage, and organize tasks, complete or delete items, and streamline your productivity workflows automatically. - Automated task creation and editing: Let your agent add new tasks, set deadlines, and update task details across your Ticktick projects with ease. - Project management and organization: Direct your agent to create, retrieve, or delete entire projects, keeping your workspace tidy and aligned with your priorities. - Seamless task completion and cleanup: Ask your agent to mark tasks as complete or delete tasks you've finished or no longer need, helping you stay on top of your to-do list. - Comprehensive project data retrieval: Have your agent fetch detailed project information, including all associated tasks and columns, for quick overviews or reporting. - Effortless OAuth2 authentication management: Benefit from a streamlined, agent-guided authorization flow that securely connects your Ticktick account with minimal friction. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `TICKTICK_COMPLETE_TASK` | Complete Task | Marks a TickTick task as complete. Requires both the project_id and task_id, which can be obtained from TICKTICK_LIST_ALL_TASKS or TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK actions. This action is idempotent - completing an already-completed task will succeed without error. Completed tasks are removed from default/active views and appear only in completed task filters. | | `TICKTICK_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Create a new project (list) in TickTick. Projects organize tasks and notes. Use this to set up a new project with optional customizations like color, view mode, and type. The created project's ID can be used with other actions like TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK. | | `TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK` | Create Task | Tool to create a new task in TickTick. Use after you have task details such as title, dates, and optional reminders or subtasks. | | `TICKTICK_DELETE_PROJECT` | Delete TickTick Project | Permanently deletes a TickTick project by its ID. All tasks within the project will also be deleted. Note: This operation is idempotent - deleting a non-existent project ID returns success. Use TICKTICK_GET_USER_PROJECT to list available projects and their IDs before deletion. | | `TICKTICK_DELETE_TASK` | Delete Task | Tool to permanently delete a specific task — irreversible, no recovery. Use when you need to remove a task from a project after confirming both project and task IDs. Returns an empty data object on success; check status/success flags rather than response payload. When moving tasks between projects via create+delete, comments and history are lost. | | `TICKTICK_GET_PROJECT_BY_ID` | Get Project By ID | Tool to retrieve a specific TickTick project by its unique ID. Use when you need detailed information about a particular project after obtaining its project ID. | | `TICKTICK_GET_PROJECT_WITH_DATA` | Get project with data | Retrieve a project's associated data (incomplete tasks, columns). IMPORTANT: This endpoint only returns INCOMPLETE tasks. Completed tasks are automatically filtered out by the TickTick API. An empty tasks list means either the project has no tasks at all, or all tasks have been completed. For completed tasks, check the TickTick app or web interface directly. Columns are only present for kanban-style projects; list-view projects return an empty columns array. Join tasks to columns via each task's columnId field. For large projects, results may paginate at ~100 items per page — iterate all pages and deduplicate by taskId. Multiple tasks can share the same title; always use taskId for follow-up create, update, or delete calls. All filtering by name, tag, or other fields must be done client-side. Scope is project-only — Inbox and other projects are excluded. | | `TICKTICK_GET_TASK_BY_PROJECT_AND_ID` | Get Task By Project And ID | Tool to retrieve a specific TickTick task by project ID and task ID. Use when you need detailed information about a particular task within a project. | | `TICKTICK_GET_USER_PROJECT` | Get User Projects | Retrieves all projects accessible to the authenticated user, including personal and shared projects. Use this tool to list available projects before creating tasks or to get project IDs for other operations. Returns project metadata including name, color, view mode, and organization details. Always use returned projectId values (not project names) when calling TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK, TICKTICK_UPDATE_TASK, or TICKTICK_GET_PROJECT_WITH_DATA. The inbox project may not appear in results — omit projectId in TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK to target the inbox. Non-kanban projects return an empty columns array; check viewMode before assuming columns exist. | | `TICKTICK_LIST_ALL_TASKS` | List All Tasks | Tool to list all open/undone tasks across all user projects in one call. This is a composite operation that internally fetches all projects and aggregates their tasks. Use when you need a comprehensive view of pending work across the entire account. Note: Only returns open/undone tasks; completed task history is not available in TickTick OpenAPI v1. | | `TICKTICK_OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_STEP1` | Generate OAuth2 Authorization URL | Tool to generate the TickTick OAuth2 authorization URL. Use to redirect the user to obtain the authorization code (step 1). Re-run this tool if downstream TickTick calls return HTTP 401 (expired/invalid token) to obtain a fresh authorization code. | | `TICKTICK_UPDATE_PROJECT` | Update Project | Tool to update an existing project. Use when you need to modify project details like name, color, sort order, view mode, or kind after selecting a project ID. | | `TICKTICK_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Tool to update an existing task. Use after confirming the taskId and projectId. Omitting optional fields resets them to null — include all existing field values in every payload. Cannot move a task to a different project; use TICKTICK_CREATE_TASK + TICKTICK_DELETE_TASK instead. Fields outside the input schema (e.g., columnId, assignee) are silently ignored. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ticktick MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Ticktick. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Ticktick 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 you begin, make sure you have: - Node.js and npm installed - A Composio account with API key - An OpenAI API key ### 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 required dependencies First, install the necessary packages for your project. What you're installing: - @ai-sdk/openai: Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider - @ai-sdk/mcp: MCP client for Vercel AI SDK - @composio/core: Composio SDK for tool integration - ai: Core Vercel AI SDK - dotenv: Environment variable management ```bash npm install @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp @composio/core ai dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's needed: - OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key for GPT model access - COMPOSIO_API_KEY: Your Composio API key for tool access - COMPOSIO_USER_ID: A unique identifier for the user session ```bash OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your_user_id_here ``` ### 4. Import required modules and validate environment What's happening: - We're importing all necessary libraries including Vercel AI SDK's OpenAI provider and Composio - The dotenv/config import automatically loads environment variables - The MCP client import enables connection to Composio's tool server ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import { streamText, type ModelMessage, stepCountIs } from "ai"; import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp"; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey, }); ``` ### 5. Create Tool Router session and initialize MCP client What's happening: - We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Ticktick tools - The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available - The returned mcp object contains the URL and authentication headers needed to connect to the MCP server - This session provides access to all Ticktick-related tools through the MCP protocol ```typescript async function main() { // Create a tool router session for the user const session = await composio.create(composioUserID!, { toolkits: ["ticktick"], }); const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url; ``` ### 6. Connect to MCP server and retrieve tools What's happening: - We're creating an MCP client that connects to our Composio Tool Router session via HTTP - The mcp.url provides the endpoint, and mcp.headers contains authentication credentials - The type: "http" is important - Composio requires HTTP transport - tools() retrieves all available Ticktick tools that the agent can use ```typescript const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport: { type: "http", url: mcpUrl, headers: session.mcp.headers, // Authentication headers for the Composio MCP server }, }); const tools = await mcpClient.tools(); ``` ### 7. Initialize conversation and CLI interface What's happening: - We initialize an empty messages array to maintain conversation history - A readline interface is created to accept user input from the command line - Instructions are displayed to guide the user on how to interact with the agent ```typescript let messages: ModelMessage[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n"); console.log( "Ask any questions related to ticktick, like summarize my last 5 emails, send an email, etc... :)))\n", ); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); ``` ### 8. Handle user input and stream responses with real-time tool feedback What's happening: - We use streamText instead of generateText to stream responses in real-time - toolChoice: "auto" allows the model to decide when to use Ticktick tools - stopWhen: stepCountIs(10) allows up to 10 steps for complex multi-tool operations - onStepFinish callback displays which tools are being used in real-time - We iterate through the text stream to create a typewriter effect as the agent responds - The complete response is added to conversation history to maintain context - Errors are caught and displayed with helpful retry suggestions ```typescript rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const stream = streamText({ model: openai("gpt-5"), messages, tools, toolChoice: "auto", stopWhen: stepCountIs(10), onStepFinish: (step) => { for (const toolCall of step.toolCalls) { console.log(`[Using tool: ${toolCall.toolName}]`); } if (step.toolCalls.length > 0) { console.log(""); // Add space after tool calls } }, }); for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) { process.stdout.write(chunk); } console.log("\n\n---\n"); // Get final result for message history const response = await stream.response; if (response?.messages?.length) { messages.push(...response.messages); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nAn error occurred while talking to the agent:"); console.error(error); console.log( "\nYou can try again or restart the app if it keeps happening.\n", ); } finally { rl.prompt(); } }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.close(); console.log("\n👋 Session ended."); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Complete Code ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; import { Composio } from "@composio/core"; import * as readline from "readline"; import { streamText, type ModelMessage, stepCountIs } from "ai"; import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp"; const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY; const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID; if (!process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set"); if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set"); const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: composioAPIKey, }); async function main() { // Create a tool router session for the user const session = await composio.create(composioUserID!, { toolkits: ["ticktick"], }); const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url; const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport: { type: "http", url: mcpUrl, headers: session.mcp.headers, // Authentication headers for the Composio MCP server }, }); const tools = await mcpClient.tools(); let messages: ModelMessage[] = []; console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n"); console.log( "Ask any questions related to ticktick, like summarize my last 5 emails, send an email, etc... :)))\n", ); const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout, prompt: "> ", }); rl.prompt(); rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => { const trimmedInput = userInput.trim(); if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) { console.log("\nGoodbye!"); rl.close(); process.exit(0); } if (!trimmedInput) { rl.prompt(); return; } messages.push({ role: "user", content: trimmedInput }); console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n"); try { const stream = streamText({ model: openai("gpt-5"), messages, tools, toolChoice: "auto", stopWhen: stepCountIs(10), onStepFinish: (step) => { for (const toolCall of step.toolCalls) { console.log(`[Using tool: ${toolCall.toolName}]`); } if (step.toolCalls.length > 0) { console.log(""); // Add space after tool calls } }, }); for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) { process.stdout.write(chunk); } console.log("\n\n---\n"); // Get final result for message history const response = await stream.response; if (response?.messages?.length) { messages.push(...response.messages); } } catch (error) { console.error("\nAn error occurred while talking to the agent:"); console.error(error); console.log( "\nYou can try again or restart the app if it keeps happening.\n", ); } finally { rl.prompt(); } }); rl.on("close", async () => { await mcpClient.close(); console.log("\n👋 Session ended."); process.exit(0); }); } main().catch((err) => { console.error("Fatal error:", err); process.exit(1); }); ``` ## Conclusion You've successfully built a Ticktick agent using the Vercel AI SDK with streaming capabilities! This implementation provides a powerful foundation for building AI applications with natural language interfaces and real-time feedback. Key features of this implementation: - Real-time streaming responses for a better user experience with typewriter effect - Live tool execution feedback showing which tools are being used as the agent works - Dynamic tool loading through Composio's Tool Router with secure authentication - Multi-step tool execution with configurable step limits (up to 10 steps) - Comprehensive error handling for robust agent execution - Conversation history maintenance for context-aware responses You can extend this further by adding custom error handling, implementing specific business logic, or integrating additional Composio toolkits to create multi-app workflows. ## How to build Ticktick MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/langchain) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ticktick/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 Ticktick MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ticktick tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ticktick and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Vercel AI SDK v6? Yes, you can. Vercel AI SDK v6 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 Ticktick tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ticktick while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ticktick 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 Ticktick data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
