## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Timelinesai to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Timelinesai agent that can get the last 10 messages from sales chat, list all unread whatsapp chats assigned to me, create webhook for new incoming messages through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Timelinesai account through Composio's Timelinesai MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## 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 Timelinesai
- Configure an AI agent that can use Timelinesai as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Timelinesai 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 Timelinesai MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Timelinesai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Timelinesai account. It provides structured and secure access to your WhatsApp communications, so your agent can retrieve chat messages, manage files, automate webhook workflows, and keep your team’s communication organized—all on your behalf.
- WhatsApp chat management: Fetch recent or historical messages from specific chats, or list all active and unread chats to help you stay on top of conversations.
- Automated webhook integration: Set up, review, or delete webhook subscriptions to automate notifications and keep your workflows synced across tools.
- File and attachment handling: List uploaded files, retrieve file details or secure download links, and delete files when they’re no longer needed.
- WhatsApp account verification: Quickly list and verify all WhatsApp accounts connected to your workspace for streamlined onboarding and troubleshooting.
- Workspace insight and cleanup: Get a comprehensive view of all webhooks or uploaded files, making workspace management and housekeeping a breeze.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TIMELINESAI_DELETE_FILE` | Delete File | Tool to delete an uploaded file by its UID. Use after confirming the file is no longer needed. |
| `TIMELINESAI_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Tool to delete a webhook subscription by its ID. Use when you need to remove an existing webhook after confirming the webhook ID. Example: "Delete the webhook with ID '9f6a8c3d-56b7-4a1e-8f2e-abcdef123456'." |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_CHAT_MESSAGES` | Get Chat Messages | Tool to get messages from a specific chat in TimelinesAI. Use when you need to retrieve message history or recent messages from a chat. Example: "Get the last 20 messages from chat 'chat_123abc'." |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_CHATS` | Get Chats | Tool to get full or filtered list of all chats. Use when you need to browse or search chats with optional filters. Example: "List all unread chats assigned to me." |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_FILE_DETAILS` | Get File Details | Tool to retrieve metadata and temporary download URL for an uploaded file. Use after uploading a file or when needing its URL. |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_WEBHOOK` | Get Webhook | Retrieves detailed information about a specific webhook subscription by its ID. Use this action to: - Check webhook configuration (URL, event type, enabled status) - Monitor webhook health (error counter) - Verify webhook existence before updating or deleting Prerequisites: You must have a valid webhook ID. Use the Get Webhooks action to list all available webhooks first. |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_WEBHOOKS` | Get Webhooks | Retrieves all webhook subscriptions configured for the workspace. Webhooks notify external systems about events (e.g., 'message:new', 'chat:new') in real-time. Use this to view existing webhook configurations, check their status, or retrieve webhook IDs for updates/deletion. Supports optional pagination via limit and offset parameters. |
| `TIMELINESAI_GET_WHATSAPP_ACCOUNTS` | Get WhatsApp Accounts | Tool to list all WhatsApp accounts connected to the workspace. Use after configuring WhatsApp integration to verify accounts. |

| `TIMELINESAI_POST_MESSAGE` | Send WhatsApp Message to Number | Tool to send a WhatsApp text message to a phone number via TimelinesAI. Use this to send messages to any recipient phone number using one of your connected WhatsApp accounts as the sender. The message will be delivered immediately if the recipient number is reachable on WhatsApp. Example: Send 'Hello, how can I help you today?' from +15105566777 to +14151231234. |
| `TIMELINESAI_POST_WEBHOOK` | Create Webhook Subscription | Tool to create a new webhook subscription. Use when you have the event type and callback URL ready. |
| `TIMELINESAI_PUT_WEBHOOK` | Update Webhook | Tool to update an existing webhook subscription. Use after confirming the webhook ID when you need to change the URL, subscribed event types, or enable/disable a webhook. |
| `TIMELINESAI_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message to Chat | Send a WhatsApp message to an existing chat in TimelinesAI. Use this action when you have a chat ID from the Get Chats action and want to send a message to that conversation. For sending messages to new phone numbers (not existing chats), use the 'Send WhatsApp Message to Number' action instead. Example: "Send message 'Hello world' to chat with ID 'chat_123abc'." |

## Supported Triggers

| Trigger slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TIMELINESAI_NEW_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` | New WhatsApp Message Received | Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Timelinesai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Timelinesai. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Timelinesai 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 Timelinesai 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Timelinesai MCP?

With a standalone Timelinesai MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Timelinesai tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Timelinesai 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 Timelinesai tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Timelinesai while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Timelinesai 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 Timelinesai data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
