## Instructions ## Instructions
### Step 1: Ask for API Key ### Step 1: Ask for API Key
Ask the user for their Composio API key. If they don't have one, tell them to get a free key at: https://dashboard.composio.dev (Settings → API Keys)
Ask the user for their Composio API key. If they don't have one, tell them to get a free key at: https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills
Just ask for the key directly. Don't ask if they have one first. Just ask for the key directly. Don't ask if they have one first.
### Step 2: Validate & Get MCP URL ### Step 2: Write Config
Run this command (replace API_KEY_HERE with the actual key):
```bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11 -c "
from composio import Composio
composio = Composio(api_key='API_KEY_HERE')
session = composio.create(user_id='claude_user')
print(session.mcp.url)
"
```
If it fails with import error, first run: `pip3 install composio`
### Step 3: Write Config
Write directly to `~/.mcp.json` with this exact format: Write directly to `~/.mcp.json` with this exact format:
```json ```json
{ {
"connect-apps": { "connect-apps": {
"type": "http", "type": "http",
"url": "THE_MCP_URL_FROM_STEP_2", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp",
"headers": { "headers": {
"x-api-key": "THE_API_KEY" "x-consumer-api-key": "THE_API_KEY"
} }
} }
} }
``` ```
If ~/.mcp.json already exists with other servers, merge the "connect-apps" key into the existing JSON. If ~/.mcp.json already exists with other servers, merge the "connect-apps" key into the existing JSON.
### Step 4: Confirm ### Step 3: Confirm
Tell the user: Tell the user:
``` ```

Then try: "Send me a test email at your@email.com" Then try: "Send me a test email at your@email.com"
``` ```
