This guide walks you through connecting HackMD to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working HackMD agent that can create notes, read your notes, list your folders, trash notes, and restore deleted notes through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a HackMD account through Composio's HackMD MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
HackMD is a collaborative Markdown workspace for personal and team notes. Use it to write, organize, and share living docs without leaving Markdown.

This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a HackMD account through Composio's HackMD MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications.
Key features include:
The HackMD MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your HackMD account. It provides structured and secure access to your personal and team notes, folders, trash, and account details, so your agent can create notes, read content, browse workspaces, move notes to trash, and restore deleted notes on your behalf.
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.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:
pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenvInstall the required libraries.
What's happening:
composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like HackMDpydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool supportpython-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env fileCOMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.
A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.
We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.
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.
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.
With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
