TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:

Get a Donately account set up and connected to Composio
Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
Create a Composio Tool Router session for Donately
Build an agent that connects to Donately through MCP
Interact with Donately 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 Donately MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Donately MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Donately account. It provides structured and secure access to your fundraising data, so your agent can review campaigns and donations, find donors and contacts, monitor recurring giving, inspect donation forms, and check fundraisers and webhooks on your behalf.

Campaign and fundraiser tracking: Have your agent list campaigns by publication state, type, keyword, or fundraiser availability, and review peer-to-peer fundraisers for a campaign.
Donation review: Instruct your agent to list donations and narrow the results by status, donor, fundraising resource, or payment type.
Donor and contact lookup: Let the agent search your people records by keyword and retrieve details about a specific donor or contact.
Recurring giving and forms: Direct your agent to review recurring donation subscriptions, list available donation forms, and inspect a specific form's configuration.
Account and webhook checks: Have your agent review your account identity, currency, status, and billing plan, or list configured webhook registrations.

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 step09 STEPS

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

Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key

Go to Google AI Studio 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.
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.

Install dependencies

bash

pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.

What's happening:

google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
composio connects your agent to Donately via MCP
python-dotenv loads environment variables

Set up ADK project

bash

adk create my_agent

Set up a new Google ADK project.

What's happening:

This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file

Set environment variables

bash

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email

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

Import modules and validate environment

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.")

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

Create Composio client and Tool Router session

python

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

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

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

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

Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

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 Donately operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

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

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

Run the agent

bash

# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web

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

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Donately with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Donately using natural language commands.

Key takeaways:

The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Donately 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Donately tools.

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

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Ryan Yu

Founder, Extra Thursday

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
