## Introduction

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Agent mail.
This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Agent mail account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

## TL;DR

### How Atomic Agent connects to Agent mail
Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.
Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

## Connect Agent mail to Atomic Agent

### Connect Agent mail to Atomic Agent
- Sign up or sign in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-api-key). Copy your API key.
- In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
- Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Agent mail. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Agent mail account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.
### Headless setup
Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY
```

## What is the Agent mail MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Agent mail MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Agent mail account. It provides structured and secure access to your agent's dedicated inbox, so your agent can send emails, receive incoming messages, fetch specific conversations, and automate email-based workflows on your behalf.
- Automated email sending: Instruct your agent to compose and send emails to any recipient, perfect for status updates, notifications, or outreach.
- Message listing and inbox scanning: Let your agent quickly list all recent messages in the inbox to summarize, monitor, or trigger follow-up actions.
- Targeted message retrieval: Have your agent fetch a specific message by ID, making it easy to pull full email content for context-aware decisions or replies.
- Streamlined agent-to-agent communication: Enable your AI to directly interact with other agents or services via email, automating routine communication flows.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `AGENT_MAIL_CREATE_INBOX` | Create Inbox | Create a new AgentMail inbox via API. Returns the inbox_id and email address for sending/receiving messages. Use when provisioning new inboxes for agents or workflows. |
| `AGENT_MAIL_GET_MESSAGE` | Get Message | Retrieve the complete details of a specific email message from an AgentMail inbox. This action returns the full message content including sender, recipients, subject, body (both text and HTML), attachments, labels, and metadata. Use this to read individual messages after discovering them via LIST_MESSAGES or webhooks. |
| `AGENT_MAIL_LIST_INBOXES` | List Inboxes | List all inboxes available to the authenticated AgentMail account. Use this to discover valid inbox_id values for message operations. |
| `AGENT_MAIL_LIST_MESSAGES` | List Messages | List messages from an AgentMail inbox. Returns a `messages` array; each message uses `message_id` and `timestamp` fields (not `id`, `date`, or `items`). |
| `AGENT_MAIL_SEND_EMAIL` | Send Email | Send an email using AgentMail API |

## Supported Triggers

| Trigger slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `AGENT_MAIL_NEW_EMAIL_TRIGGER` | New Email Received | Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox |

## Troubleshooting

### Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

### Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

### Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See [Composio pricing](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Use Agent mail from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Agent mail in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Agent mail MCP?

With a standalone Agent mail MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Agent mail tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Agent mail and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Atomic Agent?

Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Agent mail tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Agent mail while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Agent mail scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Agent mail data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
