## 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 Amcards.
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 Amcards 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 Amcards
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 Amcards to Atomic Agent

### Connect Amcards 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 Amcards. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Amcards 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 Amcards MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Amcards MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Amcards account. It provides structured and secure access to your card library and contact list, so your agent can retrieve cards, manage contacts, monitor campaigns, and streamline customer engagement on your behalf.
- Card library management: Instantly retrieve a list of all greeting cards in your Amcards account so you can review, organize, or select cards for campaigns.
- Comprehensive contact retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch your contact list—including names, emails, and details—making it easy to personalize outreach or update records.
- Filtered contact lookup: Find specific contacts by searching with filters like last name, first name, or email, allowing you to target the right recipients quickly.
- Campaign preparation and monitoring: Let your agent pull card and contact data to support mailing campaigns, track card activity, and optimize your customer connection strategy.

## 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 Amcards from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Amcards 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 Amcards MCP?

With a standalone Amcards MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Amcards tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Amcards 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 Amcards tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Amcards 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 Amcards data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
