Can we use tool router with custom tools?
u
Hey @Yousif , we currently do not support using custom tools with tool router.
y
is that in the works?
or can we run the tool router locally instead of through mcp?
b
Hey Yousif, we're working on the custom tools infra, once done you'll be able to use custom tools in MCP / Tool router. Keep an eye on our changelog to learn about the latest changes [https://docs.composio.dev/docs/changelog](https://docs.composio.dev/docs/changelog/2025/12/3)
y
do you guys have an eta / timeline for this?
a
Hey, we plan to add support for this by end of Jan '26 end

@Abhishek when using custom tools, can we create a custom toolkit for services that aren't supported on composio and require auth? We want to store the auth in composio for our toolkits
a
We're working on this. Currently, we support adding custom MCPs with DCR OAuth & API key auth. Let me know if you're interested in trying out the alpha release - happy to onboard you 🙂
Just to add - Toolrouter doesn't support custom MCPs yet, but we're working on it.
