See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose composio over mcp-use? Choose composio over mcp-use when Tags unique to composio: agentic-ai, ai-agents, function-calling, llmops; When you need a toolkit that supports TypeScript and Python for developing AI agents; More GitHub stars (30k vs 11k) - visibility, not fit. ### When should I choose mcp-use over composio? Choose mcp-use over composio when Tags unique to mcp-use: agentic-framework, ai, apps-sdk, chatgpt; If your project involves building an application or server that needs to be integrated with both ChatGPT and Claude using TypeScript, then mcp-use is tailored for this scenario; More recently updated (last pushed Sep 18, 2026). ### When should I avoid composio? If you are working exclusively with languages other than TypeScript or Python. If you do not require pre-authenticated toolkits and prefer manual setup. If you need a more specialized workbench that is not sandboxed. If you are looking for a solution that does not integrate with specific providers like OpenAI Agents or Claude Agent SDK. ### When should I avoid mcp-use? Do not use if your project requires a different programming language, as mcp-use strictly supports TypeScript. Avoid using it when your application does not need integration with ChatGPT and Claude, since the framework is specifically designed for these two platforms. ### Is composio or mcp-use more popular on GitHub? composio has more GitHub stars (30,228 vs 10,654). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are composio and mcp-use open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (composio: MIT, mcp-use: MIT). ### Where can I find alternatives to composio or mcp-use? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [composio alternatives](/tools/composiohq-composio/alternatives) and [mcp-use alternatives](/tools/mcp-use-mcp-use/alternatives) ([composio markdown twin](/tools/composiohq-composio/alternatives.md), [mcp-use markdown twin](/tools/mcp-use-mcp-use/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/composiohq-composio-vs-mcp-use-mcp-use.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, composio or mcp-use? composio: Very active. mcp-use: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for composio and mcp-use? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [composio trust report](/tools/composiohq-composio/trust); [mcp-use trust report](/tools/mcp-use-mcp-use/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=composiohq-composio`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=composiohq-composio) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
