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 Apify.

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 Apify account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Apify

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 Apify to Atomic Agent

  1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
  2. 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.
  3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Apify. It searches Composio for the right tool.
  4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Apify 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 Apify MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Apify MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apify account. It provides structured and secure access to your web scraping and automation workflows, so your agent can create actors, manage datasets, fetch scraped data, schedule tasks, and maintain webhooks on your behalf.

  • Automated Actor Creation and Management: Easily instruct your agent to programmatically create, configure, or delete Apify actors for custom web automation or scraping jobs.
  • Dataset Handling and Data Retrieval: Let your agent spin up new datasets, organize scraped results, and pull items from datasets for downstream analysis or reporting.
  • Task Scheduling and Automation: Have your agent create and manage recurring actor tasks, making it simple to automate data extraction or browser automation at set intervals.
  • Webhook Integration and Event Handling: Direct your agent to set up or remove webhooks for actor tasks, enabling real-time notifications or downstream integrations when a task completes or fails.
  • Actor and Build Metadata Access: Empower your agent to fetch detailed metadata about actors, including build information and configuration details, for monitoring or troubleshooting purposes.

Use Apify from Atomic Agent

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

Visit the Atomic Agent website or inspect the Atomic Agent source code.

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 for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Apify tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Apify 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.

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 Apify data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
