## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Tomba to the OpenAI Agents SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Tomba agent that can find all leads from example.com domain, check if this email is disposable, list your current api keys in tomba through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your OpenAI Agents SDK agent real control over a Tomba account through Composio's Tomba 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 OpenAI and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Tomba
- Configure an AI agent that can use Tomba as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Tomba operations

## What is OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight framework for building AI agents that can use tools and maintain conversation state. It provides a simple interface for creating agents with hosted MCP tool support.
Key features include:
- Hosted MCP Tools: Connect to external services through hosted MCP endpoints
- SQLite Sessions: Persist conversation history across interactions
- Simple API: Clean interface with Agent, Runner, and tool configuration
- Streaming Support: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications

## What is the Tomba MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Tomba MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tomba account. It provides structured and secure access to your B2B email finding, lead management, and account configuration tools, so your agent can perform actions like discovering leads, managing lists, validating domains, and monitoring account usage on your behalf.
- Lead discovery and enrichment: Ask your agent to list available lead attributes or add new leads directly into your Tomba account for streamlined outreach.
- Lead list management: Effortlessly retrieve, update, or delete lead lists, helping you stay organized and keep your data current.
- Domain validation and status checks: Have your agent check if a domain is webmail or disposable to ensure better deliverability and lead quality.
- API key and account management: Direct your agent to list, create, or revoke API keys, and review usage statistics to keep your Tomba integration secure and efficient.
- Usage monitoring and reporting: Let your agent fetch up-to-date API usage statistics, keeping you informed about your plan limits and consumption.

## Supported Tools

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

The Tomba MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Tomba. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Tomba 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 OpenAI API Key
- Primary know-how of OpenAI Agents SDK
- A live Tomba project
- Some knowledge of Python or Typescript

### 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).
- Go to Settings and copy your API key.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the Composio SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
```python
pip install composio_openai_agents openai-agents python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai-agents @openai/agents dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your OpenAI and Composio API keys.
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...your-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-api-key
USER_ID=composio_user@gmail.com
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- You're importing all necessary libraries.
- The Composio and OpenAIAgentsProvider classes are imported to connect your OpenAI agent to Composio tools like Tomba.
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from composio import Composio
from composio_openai_agents import OpenAIAgentsProvider
from agents import Agent, Runner, HostedMCPTool, SQLiteSession
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIAgentsProvider } from '@composio/openai-agents';
import { Agent, hostedMcpTool, run, OpenAIConversationsSession } from '@openai/agents';
import * as readline from 'readline';
```

### 5. Set up the Composio instance

No description provided.
```python
load_dotenv()

api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")

if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key")

# Initialize Composio
composio = Composio(api_key=api_key, provider=OpenAIAgentsProvider())
```

```typescript
dotenv.config();

const composioApiKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const userId = process.env.USER_ID;

if (!composioApiKey) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set. Create a .env file with COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key');
}
if (!userId) {
  throw new Error('USER_ID is not set');
}

// Initialize Composio
const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioApiKey,
  provider: new OpenAIAgentsProvider(),
});
```

### 6. Create a Tool Router session

What is happening:
- You give the Tool Router the user id and the toolkits you want available. Here, it is only tomba.
- The router checks the user's Tomba connection and prepares the MCP endpoint.
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that your agent will use to access Tomba.
- This approach keeps things lightweight and lets the agent request Tomba tools only when needed during the conversation.
```python
# Create a Tomba Tool Router session
session = composio.create(
    user_id=user_id,
    toolkits=["tomba"]
)

mcp_url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
// Create Tool Router session for Tomba
const session = await composio.create(userId as string, {
  toolkits: ['tomba'],
});
const mcpUrl = session.mcp.url;
```

### 7. Configure the agent

No description provided.
```python
# Configure agent with MCP tool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    model="gpt-5",
    instructions=(
        "You are a helpful assistant that can access Tomba. "
        "Help users perform Tomba operations through natural language."
    ),
    tools=[
        HostedMCPTool(
            tool_config={
                "type": "mcp",
                "server_label": "tool_router",
                "server_url": mcp_url,
                "headers": {"x-api-key": api_key},
                "require_approval": "never",
            }
        )
    ],
)
```

```typescript
// Configure agent with MCP tool
const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Assistant',
  model: 'gpt-5',
  instructions:
    'You are a helpful assistant that can access Tomba. Help users perform Tomba operations through natural language.',
  tools: [
    hostedMcpTool({
      serverLabel: 'tool_router',
      serverUrl: mcpUrl,
      headers: { 'x-api-key': composioApiKey },
      requireApproval: 'never',
    }),
  ],
});
```

### 8. Start chat loop and handle conversation

## Conclusion

This was a starter code for integrating Tomba MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK to build a functional AI agent that can interact with Tomba.
Key features:
- Hosted MCP tool integration through Composio's Tool Router
- SQLite session persistence for conversation history
- Simple async chat loop for interactive testing
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

With a standalone Tomba MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Tomba tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Tomba and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, you can. OpenAI Agents 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 Tomba tools.

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

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