SETUP GUIDE

Connect Trigger.dev MCP Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
2

Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Trigger.dev
3

Connect to AI Agent

typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'List recent failed Trigger.dev task runs in production'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
