MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Create MCP servers for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools

MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows you to create servers that expose Composio tools to MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor.

Quick Start

from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()

# Create MCP server
server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="my-mcp-server",
    toolkits=["github", "gmail"],
    allowed_tools=["GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE", "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL"]
)

# Generate server instance for a user
instance = server.generate("user_123")
print(f"MCP URL: {instance['url']}")
print(f"Tools: {instance['allowed_tools']}")

Creating MCP Servers

Basic Server

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="github-server",
    toolkits=["github"]
)

With Specific Tools

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="productivity-server",
    toolkits=["github", "slack", "gmail"],
    allowed_tools=[
        "GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE",
        "SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE",
        "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL"
    ]
)

With Auth Configs

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="custom-auth-server",
    toolkits=[
        {"toolkit": "github", "auth_config_id": "ac_xxx"},
        {"toolkit": "slack", "auth_config_id": "ac_yyy"}
    ],
    allowed_tools=["GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE", "SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE"]
)

Manual Connection Management

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="manual-server",
    toolkits=["github"],
    manually_manage_connections=True
)

Managing MCP Servers

List Servers

servers = composio.mcp.list(
    page_no=1,
    limit=10,
    toolkits="github"
)

for server in servers.items:
    print(f"{server['name']}: {server['id']}")

Get Server

server = composio.mcp.get("mcp_xxx")

print(f"Name: {server['name']}")
print(f"Toolkits: {server['toolkits']}")
print(f"Tools: {server['allowed_tools']}")
print(f"Instances: {server['server_instance_count']}")

Update Server

updated = composio.mcp.update(
    "mcp_xxx",
    name="Updated Server",
    allowed_tools=["GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE", "GITHUB_LIST_REPOS"]
)

Delete Server

result = composio.mcp.delete("mcp_xxx")
print(f"Deleted: {result['deleted']}")

Generating Server Instances

For a User

instance = composio.mcp.generate(
    user_id="user_123",
    mcp_config_id="mcp_xxx"
)

print(f"URL: {instance['url']}")
print(f"User: {instance['user_id']}")
print(f"Tools: {instance['allowed_tools']}")

Using server.generate()

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="my-server",
    toolkits=["github"]
)

# Generate for user
instance = server.generate("user_123")
print(f"MCP URL: {instance['url']}")

Using with Claude Desktop

1. Create an MCP server:

server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="claude-tools",
    toolkits=["github", "gmail", "slack"]
)

2. Generate instance for user:

instance = server.generate("user_123")

3. Add to Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "composio": {
      "url": "<instance['url']>",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "your-composio-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Complete Example

from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()

# Create server with multiple toolkits
server = composio.mcp.create(
    name="productivity-suite",
    toolkits=["github", "gmail", "slack"],
    allowed_tools=[
        "GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE",
        "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL",
        "SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE"
    ],
    manually_manage_connections=False
)

print(f"Server created: {server.id}")

# Generate instances for users
for user_id in ["user_1", "user_2", "user_3"]:
    instance = server.generate(user_id)
    print(f"User {user_id}: {instance['url']}")

# List all servers
servers = composio.mcp.list()
print(f"Total servers: {len(servers.items)}")
