## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get a Worksnaps account set up and connected to Composio
- Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
- Create a Composio Tool Router session for Worksnaps
- Build an agent that connects to Worksnaps through MCP
- Interact with Worksnaps using natural language

## What is Google ADK?

Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
- Gemini Integration: Native support for Google's Gemini models
- MCP Toolset: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol tools
- Streamable HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
- CLI and Web UI: Run agents via command line or web interface

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

The Worksnaps MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Worksnaps account. It provides structured and secure access to your time tracking and project data, so your agent can perform actions like tracking project hours, managing tasks, retrieving detailed reports, and accessing user assignments on your behalf.
- Project and task management: Direct your agent to create new projects, add tasks, or delete tasks from specific projects for streamlined workflow organization.
- Comprehensive project reporting: Request detailed time tracking reports for individual projects, including daily summaries and custom date ranges.
- Account and assignment insights: Let your agent fetch account details and list all user assignments to see which projects you're working on or managing.
- Quick project overview retrieval: Ask the agent to list all accessible projects or view detailed information about any project with just a prompt.
- Task detail and status checks: Retrieve details for any task within a project, so you can stay on top of progress and workload effortlessly.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WORKSNAPS_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Creates a new project in Worksnaps for tracking time and tasks. Use this tool when you need to set up a new project for time tracking. Projects serve as containers for tasks and time entries. Each project must have a unique name within the account. Note: Account plan limits may restrict the number of projects that can be created. |
| `WORKSNAPS_CREATE_TASK` | Create task | Tool to create a new task in a specified project. Use after confirming project ID exists. |
| `WORKSNAPS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete Task | Permanently deletes a task from a Worksnaps project. This action is destructive and cannot be undone. Use GET_TASKS first to find the task_id, and GET_PROJECTS to find the project_id. Returns success=true if the task was deleted. Returns 404 error if project or task does not exist. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECT_DETAILS` | Get Project Details | Tool to retrieve details of a specific project. Use when you have a project_id and need its details. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECT_REPORT` | Get Project Report | Retrieves time entries for a specific project using the Worksnaps Time Entries API. Returns individual time tracking records showing when users worked on the project. Use this to get detailed time tracking data for a project within a timestamp range. Timestamps must be Unix timestamps at 10-minute interval boundaries. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECTS` | Get Projects | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of projects. Use after authenticating to list accessible projects. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_TASK_DETAILS` | Get Task Details | Tool to retrieve details of a specific task within a project. Use after confirming project_id and task_id. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_TASKS` | Get Project Tasks | Tool to retrieve tasks for a specific project. Use when you have a project ID and need its tasks. Example: 'Get tasks for project 42'. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USER_ACCOUNT` | Get User Account | Tool to retrieve information about a specific user account. Use after confirming the user_id. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USER_ASSIGNMENTS` | Get User Assignments | Tool to retrieve a list of all user assignments for a specific project. Returns details about users assigned to the project including their roles, permissions, and contact information. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USERS` | Get Users | Retrieves a list of all users in the Worksnaps account. Returns user details including id, login, name, email, time zone, and active status. Use this to get user IDs for other user-related operations. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_PROJECT` | Update Project | Tool to update an existing project. Use when you have project_id and fields to modify. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Tool to update details of an existing task. Use when you have project_id, task_id, and fields to update. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_USER_ACCOUNT` | Update User Account | Tool to update information for a specific user account. Use when modifying user details after confirming the user exists. Note: This can only be done by the user himself or by a trusted partner using partner's API token. |

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

The Worksnaps MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Worksnaps. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Worksnaps 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:
- A Google API key for Gemini models
- A Composio account and API key
- Python 3.9 or later installed
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key
- Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) and create an API key.
- Copy the key and keep it safe. You will put this in GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Composio API Key and User ID
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Composio API key. Use this for COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
- Decide on a stable user identifier to scope sessions, often your email or a user ID. Use this for COMPOSIO_USER_ID.

### 2. Install dependencies

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.
What's happening:
- google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
- composio connects your agent to Worksnaps via MCP
- python-dotenv loads environment variables
```bash
pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up ADK project

Set up a new Google ADK project.
What's happening:
- This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file
```bash
adk create my_agent
```

### 4. Set environment variables

Save all your credentials in the .env file.
What's happening:
- GOOGLE_API_KEY authenticates with Google's Gemini models
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
```bash
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email
```

### 5. Import modules and validate environment

What's happening:
- os reads environment variables
- Composio is the main Composio SDK client
- GoogleProvider declares that you are using Google ADK as the agent runtime
- Agent is the Google ADK LLM agent class
- McpToolset lets the ADK agent call MCP tools over HTTP
```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

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.")
```

### 6. Create Composio client and Tool Router session

What's happening:
- Authenticates to Composio with your API key
- Declares Google ADK as the provider
- Spins up a short-lived MCP endpoint for your user and selected toolkit
- Stores the MCP HTTP URL for the ADK MCP integration
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["worksnaps"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url,
print(f"Composio MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
```

### 7. Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

What's happening:
- Connects the ADK agent to the Composio MCP endpoint through McpToolset
- Uses Gemini as the model powering the agent
- Lists exact tool names in instruction to reduce misnamed tool calls
```python
composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Worksnaps operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

### 8. Run the agent

Execute the agent from the project root. The web command opens a web portal where you can chat with the agent.
What's happening:
- adk run runs the agent in CLI mode
- adk web . opens a web UI for interactive testing
```bash
# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web
```

## Complete Code

```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from composio_google import GoogleProvider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

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.")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY, provider=GoogleProvider())

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["worksnaps"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url


composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Worksnaps operations."
    ),  
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Worksnaps with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Worksnaps using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
- The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Worksnaps tools
- Environment variables keep your credentials secure and separate from code
- Clear agent instructions reduce tool calling errors
- The ADK web UI provides an interactive interface for testing and development
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Google ADK?

Yes, you can. Google ADK 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 Worksnaps tools.

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

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