This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Userflow account through Composio's Userflow MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Userflow with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/userflow/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Userflow - Configure an AI agent that can use Userflow as a tool - Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Userflow 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 Userflow MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Userflow MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Userflow account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Userflow operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `USERFLOW_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_A_GROUP` | Create or Update a Group | Tool to create a new group or update an existing group (also referred to as companies in the Userflow UI). Use when you need to create a new group or update attributes of an existing group by providing the group ID. | | `USERFLOW_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_A_USER` | Create or Update a User | Tool to create a new user or update an existing user in Userflow.

Events can be associated with just a user, just a group, or both a user and a group. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Userflow MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Userflow. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Userflow 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.

With a standalone Userflow MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Userflow tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Userflow 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 Userflow tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Userflow while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Userflow 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 Userflow data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
