Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Wrike to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Wrike agent that can create a new task in marketing folder, add multiple users to project group, invite a teammate to the workspace, delete completed tasks from design folder through natural language commands.

This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a Wrike account through Composio's Wrike 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:
  • How to set up your Composio API key and User ID
  • How to create a Composio Tool Router session for Wrike
  • How to attach an MCP Server to a Pydantic AI agent
  • How to stream responses and maintain chat history
  • How to build a simple REPL-style chat interface to test your Wrike workflows

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 Wrike MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Wrike MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wrike account. It provides structured and secure access to your project spaces, so your agent can perform actions like creating tasks, managing folders, handling group memberships, sending workspace invitations, and automating project workflows on your behalf.

  • Automated task creation and management: Let your agent quickly create new tasks in specific folders, assign details, and keep your projects moving forward without manual input.
  • Dynamic folder and project organization: Have your agent generate new folders or subfolders to structure work, or clean up by deleting old folders and their contents when projects wrap up.
  • Efficient user and group management: Easily add, remove, or modify group memberships and create new user groups to keep team permissions organized and up-to-date.
  • Seamless workspace invitations: Direct your agent to invite teammates or collaborators to your Wrike workspace via email, including customizing invitation details for better onboarding.
  • Custom field and data cleanup: Empower your agent to delete custom fields, tasks, or groups when they're no longer needed, helping you maintain a clean and efficient workspace.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Bulk modify group membersAdds or removes members for multiple wrike groups in a single request; all specified user ids must correspond to existing wrike users.
Create a folderCreates a new wrike subfolder within the specified `folderid`, optionally as a project if `customitemtypeid` is given; the folder is auto-shared with its creator.
Create a groupCreates a new user group in wrike with a specified title, optionally setting members, parent group, avatar, and custom metadata.
Create invitationInvites a user to a wrike workspace by email, optionally with name, specifying either `usertypeid` or a combination of `role`/`external`; custom email subject/message available for paid accounts.
Create task in folderCreates a new task in a specified wrike folder; if setting priority with `prioritybefore` or `priorityafter`, the referenced task must be in the same folder or project.
Delete custom field by idPermanently deletes a custom field by its id; this action is irreversible and requires a valid, existing custom field id.
Delete folderPermanently deletes the folder specified by `folderid` and all its contents (e.
Delete group by idPermanently deletes a group by its `groupid`; this action is irreversible and does not affect user accounts that were members of the group.
Delete invitationPermanently deletes an existing invitation, specified by its unique `invitationid`; this action cannot be undone.
Delete taskPermanently deletes a wrike task and all its associated data by its id; this action is irreversible and the task must exist.
Fetch all tasksFetches tasks from a wrike account, allowing filtering by status, due date, and subfolder inclusion, with customizable response fields and pagination.
Get account informationRetrieves detailed wrike account information, where the response content is influenced by selected fields, account subscription, and user permissions.
Get all custom fieldsRetrieves all custom field definitions (including id, name, type, and settings) from the wrike account; this returns the definitions themselves, not their specific values on wrike items, and is useful for obtaining custom field ids.
Get contactsRetrieves a list of wrike contacts (e.
Get foldersRetrieves folders and/or projects from wrike, with filters; when using `nextpagetoken`, all other filter parameters must match the initial request.
Get specific contact informationRetrieves detailed information for a specific wrike contact using their unique `contactid`, optionally including `metadata` and `customfields` if specified in the `fields` parameter.
Get specific userRetrieves detailed information about a specific user in wrike using their unique user id.
Get task by idRetrieves read-only detailed information for a specific wrike task by its unique id, optionally allowing specification of fields to include in the response.
Launch folder blueprint asyncAsynchronously launches a new project or folder structure in wrike from a specified folder blueprint, typically returning a task id to track progress.
Launch Task Blueprint AsyncAsynchronously launches a wrike task blueprint to create tasks/projects, requiring either `super task id` (parent task) or `parent id` (parent folder/project) for placement.
List Folder BlueprintsRetrieves all account-level folder blueprints, which are templates for standardizing folder/project creation with predefined structures, custom fields, and workflows.
List space folder blueprintsLists all folder blueprints (templates for new folders/projects) within a specified wrike space, requiring a valid and accessible space id.
List space task blueprintsLists task blueprints (templates for creating tasks with consistent structures) available in a specific, accessible wrike space.

What is the Composio tool router, and how does it fit here?

What is Tool Router?

Composio's Tool Router helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Tool Router

The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.

How the Tool Router works

The Tool Router follows a three-phase workflow:

  1. Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
  2. Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
  3. Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

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

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key
  • Go to the OpenAI dashboard 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.
  • Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
  • Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

Install dependencies

bash
pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv

Install the required libraries.

What's happening:

  • composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Wrike
  • pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support
  • python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file

Set up environment variables

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

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

Import dependencies

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()
What's happening:
  • We load environment variables and import required modules
  • Composio manages connections to Wrike
  • MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Wrike MCP server endpoint
  • Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant

Create a Tool Router Session

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 Wrike
    composio = Composio(api_key=api_key)
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=user_id,
        toolkits=["wrike"],
    )
    url = session.mcp.url
    if not url:
        raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL")
What's happening:
  • We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Wrike 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

Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent

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

Build the chat interface

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 Wrike.\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()
What's happening:
  • The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response
  • Wrike API calls happen automatically under the hood
  • The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns

Run the application

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

Conclusion

You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Wrike through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Wrike 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 + Wrike for workflow automation)
This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations.

How to build Wrike MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Wrike MCP?

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

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

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