What is Composio?
Composio provides plug-and-play tool integrations for AI agents. Instead of building OAuth flows and API wrappers for every service, Composio handles authentication, rate limiting, and action execution — letting agents focus on reasoning.
Answer-Ready: Composio is an integration platform that connects AI agents to 250+ tools (GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Jira, etc.) with managed authentication and natural language action execution.
Key Features
1. Managed Authentication
Composio handles OAuth2, API keys, and JWT for all integrations:
# User connects their GitHub account
composio add github # Opens browser for OAuth
# Agent uses it seamlessly
tools = toolset.get_tools(actions=[
Action.GITHUB_CREATE_ISSUE,
Action.GITHUB_CREATE_PULL_REQUEST,
])2. Framework Integrations
# LangChain
from composio_langchain import ComposioToolSet
tools = ComposioToolSet().get_tools(apps=["github", "slack"])
# CrewAI
from composio_crewai import ComposioToolSet
tools = ComposioToolSet().get_tools(apps=["jira", "linear"])
# Autogen
from composio_autogen import ComposioToolSet3. Natural Language Actions
# Find actions by description
actions = toolset.find_actions_by_use_case(
apps=["slack"],
use_case="send a message to a channel"
