With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Attio with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Attio with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Attio to VS Code ### Integrate Attio MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Attio MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Attio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Attio account. It provides structured and secure access to your team’s relationship and workflow data, so your agent can perform actions like creating records, managing notes, searching your CRM, and organizing lists on your behalf. - Automated record management: Effortlessly create, update, or permanently delete records for people, companies, deals, and more in your Attio workspace. - Smart note taking and retrieval: Let your agent create, list, or delete notes attached to any record, keeping important context and meeting details organized for your team. - Powerful object and list navigation: Retrieve and explore all available objects or lists within your workspace, making it easy for your AI to understand and organize your CRM structure. - Advanced record search and filtering: Find specific CRM records either by unique ID or by searching with custom attributes, ensuring your agent surfaces the right data when you need it. - Comprehensive workspace insight: Get detailed information about object types and their attributes, so your AI-powered workflows always use the right fields and relationships. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ATTIO_CREATE_NOTE` | Create Note | This tool creates a new note on a given record in attio. the note can be attached to any record type (like person, company, or deal) and includes a title and content. it requires parameters such as parent object, parent record id, title, and content, with an optional created at timestamp. | | `ATTIO_CREATE_RECORD` | Create Record | This tool creates a new record in attio for a specified object type (people, companies, deals, users, workspaces, etc.). it requires the object type and a values dictionary containing the attributes for the new record. | | `ATTIO_DELETE_NOTE` | Delete Note | This tool allows users to delete a specific note in attio by its id. it is implemented via delete https://api.attio.com/v2/notes/{note id} and handles note deletion by validating the provided note id. it complements attio create note functionality, providing complete note management capabilities within the attio platform. | | `ATTIO_DELETE_RECORD` | Delete Record | This tool allows you to delete a record from attio permanently. the deletion is irreversible, and the data will eventually be removed from the system. | | `ATTIO_FIND_RECORD` | Find Record | This tool allows users to find a record in attio by either its unique id or by searching using unique attributes. it provides two methods: one for directly retrieving a record by its id with the get /v2/objects/{object}/records/{record id} endpoint, and another for searching by attributes using the post /v2/objects/{object}/records/query endpoint. | | `ATTIO_GET_OBJECT` | Get Object Details | This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific object type in attio, including all its attributes and their properties. this is useful for understanding what fields are available when creating or updating records of this type. | | `ATTIO_LIST_LISTS` | List Lists | This tool retrieves all lists available in the attio workspace. the lists are returned sorted as they appear in the sidebar. this tool is essential for managing and navigating lists, and is a prerequisite for many list-related operations. it requires the list configuration:read permission scope. | | `ATTIO_LIST_NOTES` | List Notes | This tool lists all notes associated with a specific record in attio. notes are returned in reverse chronological order (newest first). | | `ATTIO_LIST_OBJECTS` | List Objects | This tool retrieves a list of all available objects (both system-defined and user-defined) in the attio workspace. it makes a get request to the /v2/objects endpoint and returns a json response containing key metadata about each object, which is fundamental for understanding and accessing the workspace's structure. | | `ATTIO_LIST_RECORDS` | List Records | This tool lists records from a specific object type in attio. it provides simple pagination support and returns records in the order they were created. for complex filtering, use the findrecord action instead. standard object types include: people, companies, deals, users, workspaces. if you get a 404 error, verify the object type exists using the list objects action first. | | `ATTIO_UPDATE_RECORD` | Update Record | This tool updates an existing record in attio for a specified object type (people, companies, deals, users, workspaces, etc.). it uses patch to partially update only the provided fields, leaving other fields unchanged. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, VS Code can access the Attio MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Attio is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Attio MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/attio/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Hubspot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/hubspot) - HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing, sales, and customer service platform.

With a standalone Attio MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Attio tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Attio and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code 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 Attio tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Attio while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Attio 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 Attio data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
