TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:

Get a Composio API key and configure your Discord connection
Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent
Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Discord
Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Discord 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 Discord MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Discord MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Discord account. It provides structured and secure access to your Discord profile, connected accounts, servers, and invites, so your agent can fetch user details, list your servers (guilds), retrieve invite info, and manage your Discord presence on your behalf.

Retrieve and manage user profile information: Your agent can fetch your Discord profile details, including email and connected third-party accounts, to help keep your data organized and up-to-date.
Server (guild) discovery and membership checks: Effortlessly list all servers you belong to and verify your membership status in any server.
Access invite details and server info: Instantly get information about specific Discord invite codes, including the destination server or channel details.
Guild member insights: Allow your agent to retrieve your own guild member information across servers, including permissions and roles.
OAuth2 application and authorization review: Let your agent fetch your app’s OAuth2 authorization details, so you always know what permissions are granted and when tokens expire.

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

What is Composio SDK?

Composio's Composio SDK 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 Composio SDK

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

How the Composio SDK works

The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:

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

Step-by-step Guide

Step by step08 STEPS

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

Python 3.9 or higher
A Composio account and API key
A Discord connection authorized in Composio
An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM
Basic familiarity with Python

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 crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-dotenv

What's happening:

composio connects your agent to Discord via MCP
crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives
crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers
python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env

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_here

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

Import dependencies

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")

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 Discord MCP URL

Create a Composio Tool Router session for Discord

python

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)
session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["discord"])

url = session.mcp.url

What's happening:

You create a Discord only session through Composio
Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Discord tools

Initialize the MCP Server

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,
    )

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.

Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew

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")

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.

                f"Current request: {user_input}"
            ),

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Discord tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Discord 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.

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 Discord data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
