TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:

Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys
Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio
Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Accredible certificates
Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams
Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Accredible certificates tools
Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Accredible certificates operations

What is AutoGen?

Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows.

Key features include:

Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows
MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools
Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants

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

The Accredible certificates MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Accredible certificates account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital credentials platform, so your agent can perform actions like issuing certificates, managing groups, generating PDFs, and organizing templates on your behalf.

Bulk credential creation and issuance: Let your agent create and issue batches of digital certificates or badges to multiple recipients in one go.
Automated group and collection management: Effortlessly create, clone, or delete groups and collections to organize recipients and credentials based on your programs or courses.
Credential evidence and reference handling: Add or remove evidence items or references to credentials, supporting richer documentation and verification for each certificate.
PDF certificate generation and export: Quickly generate and download PDF copies of credentials, individually or in bulk, for easy offline distribution or archiving.
Template listing and selection: Retrieve and browse all available certificate templates, so your agent can help you pick or preview designs for new credentials.

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

You will need:

A Composio API key
An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient)
A Accredible certificates account you can connect to Composio
Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async

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 python-dotenv
pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools

Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv.

What's happening:

composio connects your agent to Accredible certificates via MCP
autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class
autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client
autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support

Set up environment variables

bash

COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com

Create a .env file in your project folder.

What's happening:

COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio
OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client
USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Accredible certificates connections to use

Import dependencies and create Tool Router session

python

import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from composio import Composio

from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams

load_dotenv()

async def main():
    # Initialize Composio and create a Accredible certificates session
    composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY"))
    session = composio.create(
        user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"),
        toolkits=["accredible_certificates"]
    )
    url = session.mcp.url

What's happening:

load_dotenv() reads your .env file
Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK
create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Accredible certificates tools
session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to

Configure MCP parameters for Autogen

python

# Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP
server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams(
    url=url,
    timeout=30.0,
    sse_read_timeout=300.0,
    terminate_on_close=True,
    headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")}
)

Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for.

What's happening:

url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio
timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests
sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses
terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed

Create the model client and agent

python

# Create model client
model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    model="gpt-5",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
)

# Use McpWorkbench as context manager
async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    # Create Accredible certificates assistant agent with MCP tools
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="accredible_certificates_assistant",
        description="An AI assistant that helps with Accredible certificates operations.",
        model_client=model_client,
        workbench=workbench,
        model_client_stream=True,
        max_tool_iterations=10
    )

What's happening:

OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen
McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools
AssistantAgent is configured with the Accredible certificates tools from the workbench

Run the interactive chat loop

python

print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n")
print("Ask any Accredible certificates related question or task to the agent.\n")

# Conversation loop
while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    # Run the agent with streaming
    try:
        response_text = ""
        async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input):
            if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content:
                response_text = message.content

        # Print the final response
        if response_text:
            print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n")
        else:
            print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n")

What's happening:

The script prompts you in a loop with You:
Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Accredible certificates tools to call via MCP
agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools
Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop

Complete Code

Here's the complete code to get you started with Accredible certificates and AutoGen:

            model_client=model_client,
            workbench=workbench,
            model_client_stream=True,
            max_tool_iterations=10
        )

        print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n")
        print("Ask any Accredible certificates related question or task to the agent.\n")

        # Conversation loop
        while True:
            user_input = input("You: ").strip()

            if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']:
                print("\nGoodbye!")
                break

            if not user_input:
                continue

            print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

            # Run the agent with streaming
            try:
                response_text = ""
                async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input):
                    if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content:
                        response_text = message.content

                # Print the final response
                if response_text:
                    print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n")
                else:
                    print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n")

            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Conclusion

You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Accredible certificates through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can:

Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot
Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows
Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool

Once the pattern is clear for Accredible certificates, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, you can. Autogen 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 Accredible certificates tools.

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