## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Typefully to CrewAI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Typefully agent that can draft a new ai-generated tweet thread, list your recently published typefully posts, fetch unread notifications from your typefully inbox through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your CrewAI agent real control over a Typefully account through Composio's Typefully 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 a Composio API key and configure your Typefully connection
- Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent
- Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Typefully
- Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Typefully operations

## What is CrewAI?

CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews.
Key features include:
- Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories
- Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs
- Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows
- MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol

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

The Typefully MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Typefully account. It provides structured and secure access to your Typefully workspace, so your agent can create content drafts, manage notifications, and stay on top of publishing activity on your behalf.
- Automated content drafting: Let your agent generate and save new draft posts directly to your Typefully account for later review or editing.
- Real-time notification retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch your latest Typefully notifications, filtered by inbox or activity, so you never miss important updates.
- Review recently published content: Quickly get a list of your most recent published drafts, making it easy to track your publishing history and monitor engagement.
- Manage scheduled drafts: Have your agent pull up all your recently scheduled drafts, helping you keep tabs on your content calendar and upcoming posts.
- Effortless notification management: Direct your agent to mark notifications as read, keeping your workspace tidy and ensuring you stay focused on what matters.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TYPEFULLY_CREATE_DRAFT` | Create Draft | Creates a draft in Typefully. |
| `TYPEFULLY_GET_NOTIFICATIONS` | Get Notifications | Get notifications from Typefully. Can be filtered by kind (inbox or activity). |
| `TYPEFULLY_GET_RECENTLY_PUBLISHED` | Get Recently Published | Get recently published drafts from Typefully. |
| `TYPEFULLY_GET_RECENTLY_SCHEDULED` | Get Recently Scheduled Drafts | Get recently scheduled drafts from Typefully. |

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

The Typefully MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Typefully. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Typefully 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:
- Python 3.9 or higher
- A Composio account and API key
- A Typefully connection authorized in Composio
- An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 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 dependencies

**What's happening:**
- composio connects your agent to Typefully via MCP
- crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives
- crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers
- python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env
```bash
pip install composio crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID scopes the session to your account
- OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

**What's happening:**
- CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow
- MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint
- Composio will give you a short lived Typefully MCP URL
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set")
```

### 5. Create a Composio Tool Router session for Typefully

**What's happening:**
- You create a Typefully only session through Composio
- Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Typefully tools
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)
session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["typefully"])

url = session.mcp.url
```

### 6. Initialize the MCP Server

**What's Happening:**
- Server Configuration: The code sets up connection parameters including the MCP server URL, streamable HTTP transport, and Composio API key authentication.
- MCP Adapter Bridge: MCPServerAdapter acts as a context manager that converts Composio MCP tools into a CrewAI-compatible format.
- Agent Setup: Creates a CrewAI Agent with a defined role (Search Assistant), goal (help with internet searches), and access to the MCP tools.
- Configuration Options: The agent includes settings like verbose=False for clean output and max_iter=10 to prevent infinite loops.
- Dynamic Tool Usage: Once created, the agent automatically accesses all Composio Search tools and decides when to use them based on user queries.
```python
server_params = {
    "url": url,
    "transport": "streamable-http",
    "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY},
}

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Search Assistant",
        goal="Help users search the internet effectively",
        backstory="You are a helpful assistant with access to search tools.",
        tools=tools,
        verbose=False,
        max_iter=10,
    )
```

### 7. Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew

**What's Happening:**
- Interactive CLI Setup: The code creates an infinite loop that continuously prompts for user input and maintains the entire conversation history in a string variable.
- Input Validation: Empty inputs are ignored to prevent processing blank messages and keep the conversation clean.
- Context Building: Each user message is appended to the conversation context, which preserves the full dialogue history for better agent responses.
- Dynamic Task Creation: For every user input, a new Task is created that includes both the full conversation history and the current request as context.
- Crew Execution: A Crew is instantiated with the agent and task, then kicked off to process the request and generate a response.
- Response Management: The agent's response is converted to a string, added to the conversation context, and displayed to the user, maintaining conversational continuity.
```python
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

conversation_context = ""

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n"
    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    task = Task(
        description=(
            f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n"
            f"Current request: {user_input}"
        ),
        expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request",
        agent=agent,
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False)
    result = crew.kickoff()
    response = str(result)

    conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
    print(f"Agent: {response}\n")
```

## Complete Code

```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

# Initialize Composio and create a session
composio = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)
session = composio.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["typefully"],
)
url = session.mcp.url

# Configure LLM
llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-5",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
)

server_params = {
    "url": url,
    "transport": "streamable-http",
    "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY},
}

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Search Assistant",
        goal="Help users with internet searches",
        backstory="You are an expert assistant with access to Composio Search tools.",
        tools=tools,
        llm=llm,
        verbose=False,
        max_iter=10,
    )

    print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

    conversation_context = ""

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()

        if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
            print("\nGoodbye!")
            break

        if not user_input:
            continue

        conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n"
        print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

        task = Task(
            description=(
                f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n"
                f"Current request: {user_input}"
            ),
            expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request",
            agent=agent,
        )

        crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False)
        result = crew.kickoff()
        response = str(result)

        conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
        print(f"Agent: {response}\n")
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with CrewAI?

Yes, you can. CrewAI 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 Typefully tools.

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

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