composio-crewai

Adapts Composio tools to CrewAI's BaseTool format so your crew's agents can act across 1000+ apps through a single Composio session.

Installation

pip install composio composio-crewai crewai

Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY (get one from dashboard.composio.dev/settings) and OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment:

export COMPOSIO_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxx
export OPENAI_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxx

Quickstart

Create a session for your user, fetch its tools, and pass them to an Agent. CrewAI runs the task end to end; each tool executes itself through Composio.

from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
from composio import Composio
from composio_crewai import CrewAIProvider

composio = Composio(provider=CrewAIProvider())

# Each session is scoped to one of your users
session = composio.create(user_id="user_123")
tools = session.tools()

agent = Agent(
    role="Email Agent",
    goal="Send emails on behalf of the user",
    backstory="You are an AI agent that sends emails using Gmail.",
    tools=tools,
    llm="gpt-5.2",
)

task = Task(
    description="Send an email to john@example.com with the subject 'Hello' and body 'Hello from Composio!'",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="Confirmation that the email was sent",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Error handling

Each Composio tool becomes a CrewAI BaseTool whose args_schema is built from the tool's input schema, so CrewAI validates arguments before running anything. When validation fails, the tool does not raise; it returns a structured result:

{"successful": False, "error": "<validation message>", "data": None}

Check successful in your task output instead of wrapping calls in try/except.
