TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:

Set up your environment so Mastra, OpenAI, and Composio work together
Create a Tool Router session in Composio that exposes Openlayer tools
Connect Mastra's MCP client to the Composio generated MCP URL
Fetch Openlayer tool definitions and attach them as a toolset
Build a Mastra agent that can reason, call tools, and return structured results
Run an interactive CLI where you can chat with your Openlayer agent

What is Mastra AI?

Mastra AI is a TypeScript framework for building AI agents with tool support. It provides a clean API for creating agents that can use external services through MCP.

Key features include:

MCP Client: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
Toolsets: Organize tools into logical groups
Step Callbacks: Monitor and debug agent execution
OpenAI Integration: Works with OpenAI models via @ai-sdk/openai

What is the Openlayer MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Openlayer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Openlayer account. It provides structured and secure access to your projects, versions, monitoring data sources, tests, results, and workspace details, so your agent can review projects, inspect model versions, check monitoring status, analyze test outcomes, and track workspace usage on your behalf.

Project and version reviews: Have your agent list Openlayer projects, inspect their versions, and compare processing status and passing, failing, and total test counts.
Production monitoring checks: Let the agent find monitoring data sources and review their backend, monitoring status, record counts, and test counts.
Test configuration discovery: Direct your agent to list tests for a project and narrow them by category, archive state, origin, production data use, or suggested status.
Test result analysis: Instruct your agent to review results for project versions, monitoring data sources, or individual tests, including execution status and available generated insights.
Workspace usage visibility: Have your agent check workspace status, connected account membership, usage counts, and current plan limits.

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:

Node.js 18 or higher
A Composio account with an active API key
An OpenAI API key
Basic familiarity with TypeScript

Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key

Go to the OpenAI dashboard and create an API key.
You need credits or a connected billing setup to use the models.
Store the key somewhere safe.

Composio API Key

Log in to the Composio dashboard.
Go to Settings and copy your API key.
This key lets your Mastra agent talk to Composio and reach Openlayer through MCP.

Install dependencies

bash

npm install @composio/core @mastra/core @mastra/mcp @ai-sdk/openai dotenv

Install the required packages.

What's happening:

@composio/core is the Composio SDK for creating MCP sessions
@mastra/core provides the Agent class
@mastra/mcp is Mastra's MCP client
@ai-sdk/openai is the model wrapper for OpenAI
dotenv loads environment variables from .env

Set up environment variables

bash

COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
COMPOSIO_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 your requests to Composio
COMPOSIO_USER_ID tells Composio which user this session belongs to
OPENAI_API_KEY lets the Mastra agent call OpenAI models

Import libraries and validate environment

typescript

import "dotenv/config";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import * as readline from "readline";

import type { AiMessageType } from "@mastra/core/agent";

const openaiAPIKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
const composioAPIKey = process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY;
const composioUserID = process.env.COMPOSIO_USER_ID;

if (!openaiAPIKey) throw new Error("OPENAI_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioAPIKey) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set");
if (!composioUserID) throw new Error("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set");

const composio = new Composio({
  apiKey: composioAPIKey as string,
});

What's happening:

dotenv/config auto loads your .env so process.env.* is available
openai gives you a Mastra compatible model wrapper
Agent is the Mastra agent that will call tools and produce answers
MCPClient connects Mastra to your Composio MCP server
Composio is used to create a Tool Router session

Create a Tool Router session for Openlayer

typescript

async function main() {
  const session = await composio.create(
    composioUserID as string,
    {
      toolkits: ["openlayer"],
    },
  );

  const composioMCPUrl = session.mcp.url;
  console.log("Openlayer MCP URL:", composioMCPUrl);

What's happening:

create spins up a short-lived MCP HTTP endpoint for this user
The toolkits array contains "openlayer" for Openlayer access
session.mcp.url is the MCP URL that Mastra's MCPClient will connect to

Configure Mastra MCP client and fetch tools

typescript

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
    id: composioUserID as string,
    servers: {
      nasdaq: {
        url: new URL(composioMCPUrl),
        requestInit: {
          headers: session.mcp.headers,
        },
      },
    },
    timeout: 30_000,
  });

console.log("Fetching MCP tools from Composio...");
const composioTools = await mcpClient.getTools();
console.log("Number of tools:", Object.keys(composioTools).length);

What's happening:

MCPClient takes an id for this client and a list of MCP servers
The headers property includes the x-api-key for authentication
getTools fetches the tool definitions exposed by the Openlayer toolkit

Create the Mastra agent

typescript

const agent = new Agent({
    name: "openlayer-mastra-agent",
    instructions: "You are an AI agent with Openlayer tools via Composio.",
    model: "openai/gpt-5",
  });

What's happening:

Agent is the core Mastra agent
name is just an identifier for logging and debugging
instructions guide the agent to use tools instead of only answering in natural language
model uses openai("gpt-5") to configure the underlying LLM

Set up interactive chat interface

typescript

let messages: AiMessageType[] = [];

console.log("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n");

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  prompt: "> ",
});

rl.prompt();

rl.on("line", async (userInput: string) => {
  const trimmedInput = userInput.trim();

  if (["exit", "quit", "bye"].includes(trimmedInput.toLowerCase())) {
    console.log("\nGoodbye!");
    rl.close();
    process.exit(0);
  }

  if (!trimmedInput) {
    rl.prompt();
    return;
  }

  messages.push({
    id: crypto.randomUUID(),
    role: "user",
    content: trimmedInput,
  });

  console.log("\nAgent is thinking...\n");

  try {
    const response = await agent.generate(messages, {
      toolsets: {
        openlayer: composioTools,
      },
      maxSteps: 8,
    });

    const { text } = response;

    if (text && text.trim().length > 0) {
      console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`);
        messages.push({
          id: crypto.randomUUID(),
          role: "assistant",
          content: text,
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("\nError:", error);
    }

    rl.prompt();
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    console.log("\nSession ended.");
    await mcpClient.disconnect();
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Fatal error:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});

What's happening:

messages keeps the full conversation history in Mastra's expected format
agent.generate runs the agent with conversation history and Openlayer toolsets
maxSteps limits how many tool calls the agent can take in a single run
onStepFinish is a hook that prints intermediate steps for debugging

    model: "openai/gpt-5",
  });

  let messages: AiMessageType[] = [];

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout,
    prompt: "> ",
  });

  rl.prompt();

  rl.on("line", async (input: string) => {
    const trimmed = input.trim();
    if (["exit", "quit"].includes(trimmed.toLowerCase())) {
      rl.close();
      return;
    }

    messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "user", content: trimmed });

    const { text } = await agent.generate(messages, {
      toolsets: { openlayer: composioTools },
      maxSteps: 8,
    });

    if (text) {
      console.log(`Agent: ${text}\n`);
      messages.push({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), role: "assistant", content: text });
    }

    rl.prompt();
  });

  rl.on("close", async () => {
    await mcpClient.disconnect();
    process.exit(0);
  });
}

main();

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, you can. Mastra AI 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 Openlayer tools.

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