## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Wachete to CrewAI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Wachete agent that can monitor a webpage for price changes, list all your active web watchers, delete a watcher monitoring an old url through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your CrewAI agent real control over a Wachete account through Composio's Wachete 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 Wachete connection
- Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent
- Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Wachete
- Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Wachete 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 Wachete MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Wachete MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, and more directly to your Wachete account. It provides structured and secure access to your web monitoring setup, so your agent can create watchers, monitor webpages for changes, manage your folders, and keep you notified about updates—all automatically.
- Automated webpage monitoring: Let your agent create new watchers to track changes on any web page or specific elements, so you never miss an update.
- Watcher management and cleanup: Effortlessly remove obsolete monitors by deleting watchers when you no longer need to track certain content.
- Folder structure navigation: Retrieve and explore the content of your Wachete folders, listing all subfolders and active watchers for better organization.
- Real-time change notifications: Instantly pull notifications about detected changes across all your monitored pages, keeping you up to date at a glance.
- Comprehensive watcher overview: Ask your agent to list all configured watchers, making it easy to review, audit, or adjust your monitoring strategy as your needs evolve.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WACHETE_CREATE_UPDATE_FOLDER` | Create or update folder | Create a new folder or update an existing folder in Wachete. Folders help organize watchers into hierarchical structures. Omit the id parameter to create a new folder, or provide an id to update an existing one. |
| `WACHETE_CREATE_WATCHER` | Create Watcher | Create or update a Wachete watcher to monitor web page changes. Watchers check pages at specified intervals and send alerts when changes are detected. Use SinglePage mode for monitoring a single page, or Portal mode to crawl and monitor multiple linked pages. |
| `WACHETE_DELETE_FOLDER` | Delete folder | Permanently deletes a folder along with all nested subfolders and watchers (monitoring tasks). This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. Use when you need to remove an entire folder structure. All subfolders and monitoring tasks within the folder will be permanently deleted. Obtain the folder ID from the Get Folder Content action before calling. Example: "Delete the folder with ID 576b3f7e-e126-4e92-9b95-f72a8d187a18" |
| `WACHETE_DELETE_WATCHER` | Delete watcher | Deletes a website monitoring watcher (task) by its unique ID. This operation is idempotent - deleting a non-existent or already-deleted watcher will succeed without error. Use when you need to permanently remove a monitoring task. Obtain the watcher ID from List Watchers or Create Watcher actions before calling. Example: "Delete the watcher with ID 974b65b5-6ccb-4996-812c-5a678c2455e8" |
| `WACHETE_GET_CRAWLER_PAGES` | Get crawler pages | Retrieves all pages monitored by a crawler watcher (portal monitor). Use this to get detailed information about each page being tracked including URLs, last check timestamps, content changes, and error states. Only works with portal-type watchers that monitor multiple pages. |
| `WACHETE_GET_DATA_HISTORY` | Get Data History | Retrieve history for a wachet (monitor). Returns timestamped snapshots of monitored content showing when changes occurred. Supports time range filtering and optional diff with previous value. Use continuationToken for pagination when retrieving large histories. |
| `WACHETE_GET_FOLDER_CONTENT` | Get folder content | Retrieves the contents of a Wachete folder, including subfolders and watcher tasks. Use this tool to: - List all subfolders and tasks in the root folder (omit parentId) - List contents of a specific folder (provide parentId) - Navigate the folder hierarchy using the path breadcrumb - Check task statuses and last check data Returns subfolders, tasks with their monitoring details, folder path, and pagination token. |
| `WACHETE_GET_WATCHER` | Get watcher by ID | Retrieve complete watcher (monitor) definition by ID. Use this to get detailed configuration and current status of a specific monitoring task including URL, XPath selector, alerts, notification endpoints, and latest check results. |
| `WACHETE_LIST_NOTIFICATIONS` | List notifications | Retrieves notifications from Wachete watchers. Returns notifications for all watchers or filtered by specific watcher ID and/or time range. Useful for checking recent changes detected by your web page monitors. |
| `WACHETE_LIST_WATCHERS` | List watchers | List all monitoring watchers (tasks) configured in your Wachete account. Optionally filter by search query. Returns up to 500 watchers with details including name, URL, monitoring settings, and notification configuration. |
| `WACHETE_MOVE_ITEMS_TO_FOLDER` | Move Items to Folder | Move tasks (watchers) and folders to a specified destination folder. Use this to organize your monitoring structure by relocating items within the folder hierarchy. Provide at least one of folderIds or taskIds to move items. Set folderId to null to move items to root level. |

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

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

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

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=["wachete"],
)
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")
```

## Conclusion

You now have a CrewAI agent connected to Wachete through Composio's Tool Router. The agent can perform Wachete operations through natural language commands.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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