TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:

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

The eSignatures MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your eSignatures account. It provides structured and secure access to your contract templates, contracts, signers, and signing workflows, so your agent can create and send contracts, manage signers, update content, track signing status, and organize templates on your behalf.

Contract creation and delivery: Have your agent create contract drafts from templates or Markdown, send them for signature, or send an existing draft when it is ready.
Signer management: Let the agent add, update, or remove signers from editable contracts, resend signature requests, and adjust signer contact, delivery, authentication, or redirect details.
Template creation and collaboration: Direct your agent to create, duplicate, rename, label, or delete reusable templates, and manage the collaborators who can edit them.
Contract and template editing: Instruct your agent to preview and apply exact content changes, update contract placeholder values, and review template or contract Markdown.
Signing workflow tracking: Have your agent check contract details, current status, signers, completed field values, and signed documents when available, or withdraw an active unsigned contract.

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 eSignatures 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 eSignatures 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 eSignatures MCP URL

Create a Composio Tool Router session for eSignatures

python

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

url = session.mcp.url

What's happening:

You create a eSignatures only session through Composio
Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes eSignatures 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.

            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)

        response = str(result)

        conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
        print(f"Agent: {response}\n")

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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