## What is Pydantic AI?

Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications.
Key features include:
- Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation
- MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses
- Async First: Designed for async/await patterns

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

The Wati MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wati WhatsApp Business account. It provides structured and secure access to your business messaging, so your agent can add contacts, send WhatsApp messages, update contact details, and retrieve team information automatically on your behalf.
- Automated contact management: Have your agent add new WhatsApp contacts, ensuring customers are registered before any communication starts.
- Proactive messaging via WhatsApp: Empower your agent to send session messages to customers for support, marketing, or updates within the active session window.
- Contact attribute updates: Let your agent update existing contact information or custom attributes, so your customer data stays fresh and relevant.
- Team coordination and retrieval: Quickly fetch lists of your Wati teams, making it easy for your agent to understand and act on organizational structure.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WATI_ADD_CONTACT` | Add Contact | Tool to add a new contact in WATI. Use when registering a customer's WhatsApp number before sending messages. |
| `WATI_GET_TEAMS` | Get Teams | Tool to retrieve a list of teams from WATI. Use after authenticating when you need to enumerate all available teams. |
| `WATI_SEND_SESSION_MESSAGE` | Send Session Message | Tool to send a session message to a specified WhatsApp number. Use when you need to deliver a free-form text within an active 24-hour session window. |
| `WATI_UPDATE_CHAT_STATUS` | Wati update chat status | Update the status of a chat/conversation in WATI Team Inbox. This action allows you to change the status of a customer's chat to help manage ongoing conversations. Available statuses: - OPEN: Active, two-way conversation - PENDING: Waiting for customer's response - SOLVED: Issue has been resolved - BLOCK: Prevent further communication with the contact |
| `WATI_UPDATE_CONTACT_ATTRIBUTES` | Update Contact Attributes | Tool to update attributes of an existing contact. Use after confirming the contact exists and you need to modify its custom attributes. |

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

The Wati MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Wati. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Wati 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 with an active API key
- Basic familiarity with Python and async programming

### 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

Install the required libraries.
What's happening:
- composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Wati
- pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support
- python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file
```bash
pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API
- USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access
- OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
```

### 4. Import dependencies

What's happening:
- We load environment variables and import required modules
- Composio manages connections to Wati
- MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Wati MCP server endpoint
- Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant
```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP

load_dotenv()
```

### 5. Create a Tool Router Session

What's happening:
- We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Wati tools
- The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available
- The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use
```python
async def main():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")
    if not api_key or not user_id:
        raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment")

    # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Wati
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["wati"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")
```

### 6. Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent

What's happening:
- The MCP client connects to the Wati endpoint
- The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Wati operations
- The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior
```python
# Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
wati_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-5",
    toolsets=[wati_mcp],
    instructions=(
        "You are a Wati assistant. Use Wati tools to help users "
        "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed."
    ),
)
```

### 7. Build the chat interface

What's happening:
- The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response
- Wati API calls happen automatically under the hood
- The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns
```python
# Simple REPL with message history
history = []
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
print("Try asking the agent to help you with Wati.\n")

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()
    if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break
    if not user_input:
        continue

    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True)

    async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result:
        collected_text = ""
        async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output():
            text_piece = None
            if isinstance(chunk, str):
                text_piece = chunk
            elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str):
                text_piece = chunk.delta
            elif hasattr(chunk, "text"):
                text_piece = chunk.text
            if text_piece:
                collected_text += text_piece
        result = stream_result

    print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n")
    history = result.all_messages()
```

### 8. Run the application

What's happening:
- The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Complete Code

```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP

load_dotenv()

async def main():
    api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
    user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID")
    if not api_key or not user_id:
        raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment")

    # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Wati
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["wati"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")

    # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent
    wati_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY})
    agent = Agent(
        "openai:gpt-5",
        toolsets=[wati_mcp],
        instructions=(
            "You are a Wati assistant. Use Wati tools to help users "
            "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed."
        ),
    )

    # Simple REPL with message history
    history = []
    print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")
    print("Try asking the agent to help you with Wati.\n")

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()
        if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}:
            print("\nGoodbye!")
            break
        if not user_input:
            continue

        print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True)

        async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result:
            collected_text = ""
            async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output():
                text_piece = None
                if isinstance(chunk, str):
                    text_piece = chunk
                elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str):
                    text_piece = chunk.delta
                elif hasattr(chunk, "text"):
                    text_piece = chunk.text
                if text_piece:
                    collected_text += text_piece
            result = stream_result

        print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n")
        history = result.all_messages()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Conclusion

You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Wati through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Wati actions through natural language.
You can extend this further by:
- Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce
- Building a web-based chat interface around this agent
- Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Wati for workflow automation)
This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Pydantic AI?

Yes, you can. Pydantic AI 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 Wati tools.

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

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