Rube closed on 16 May 2026, so existing rube.app configurations need migration.\n\n**Smithery.** Service tokens can be limited by namespace, resource, operation and connection metadata, with a lifetime of at most 24 hours. No terms of service, rate limits or SLA were found, the pricing page could not be read, and the newest client release is from 20 July 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Composio (API + MCP)\n\n1. Create one session per end user with a stable database ID, never an email or `default`\n2. Pass the Connect Link from COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to the user and call COMPOSIO_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTIONS rather than asking for credentials\n3. Filter the session to `readOnlyHint` tools when the task only reads\n4. Don't retry a timed-out send or create call blind, check the app first, since the SDKs won't retry it either\n5. Replace any rube.app/mcp entry with connect.composio.dev/mcp or a session MCP URL\n\n### Smithery\n\n1. Keep the API key on the backend and hand an agent a service token limited to `connections` with `read` and `execute` and a `metadata` match\n2. Create connections with `PUT /connect/{namespace}/{connectionId}`, which is an upsert, and check `status.state` before calling a tool\n3. On `auth_required` or `input_required`, send the person to `setupUrl`, then retry with the same `connectionId`\n4. Tool names on the namespace MCP endpoint are prefixed with the connection ID, such as `user-123-github.search_repositories`\n5. Do not rely on `smithery skill` commands. Version 1.1.1 of the CLI removed them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Composio (API + MCP) or Smithery?\n\nComposio (API + MCP) scores 75.1 (BB) on agent readiness against Smithery's 50.7 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Composio (API + MCP) and Smithery need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Composio (API + MCP) and Smithery without installing anything?\n\nYes. Composio (API + MCP) has a hosted endpoint at https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3.1 and Smithery at https://api.smithery.ai.\n\n### Are Composio (API + MCP) and Smithery open source?\n\nComposio (API + MCP) is open source (MIT).
