Composio: The Integration Layer Your AI Agent Actually Needs

Building an AI agent is easy. Connecting it to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and Salesforce with proper OAuth and error handling? That's where most projects die.

What Is Composio?

Composio is AI-native integration middleware — it sits between your agent and the outside world. 850+ pre-built connectors, fully managed OAuth, sandboxed execution, and native observability.

The Core Problem It Solves

Every API integration is its own project: different auth schemes, different error formats, different rate limits. Your agent's context window fills up with tool definitions. Composio abstracts all of this.

Key Features

850+ Agent-Optimized Toolkits — GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, and hundreds more. Each connector is built for LLM consumption — descriptions crafted so models understand when and how to use each action.

Fully Managed Auth — OAuth 2.0 end-to-end. Token storage, refresh cycles, scope management. Triggered inline when needed, not pre-configured.

Sandboxed Execution — Remote ephemeral sandboxes. Multi-step workflows with sub-LLM invocations. Large responses stored on a navigable filesystem.

Native Observability — Every tool call logged and traceable. Replay exactly what happened when your agent does something unexpected.

Quick Example

from composio import Composio

client = Composio(api_key="your_api_key")

response = client.actions.execute(
    action="github_create_issue",
    params={
        "owner": "my-org",
        "repo": "my-repo",
        "title": "Feature request from agent"
    },
    entity_id="user-123"
)
