How to integrate Backendless MCP with Atomic Agent

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 Backendless.

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

How Atomic Agent connects to Backendless

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 Backendless 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 Backendless. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Backendless 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.

The Backendless MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Backendless account. It provides structured and secure access to your backend services, so your agent can perform actions like managing file storage, retrieving and updating database records, handling directories, and orchestrating server-side logic on your behalf.

• Dynamic file and directory management: Allow your agent to create, copy, delete, and list files or folders in your Backendless storage, keeping your app data organized.
• Database record retrieval and filtering: Empower the agent to fetch objects from specific tables with advanced filtering, sorting, and pagination for instant data access.
• Automated backend task scheduling: Let the agent create or delete timers to run recurring or one-off server-side logic, enabling powerful backend automation.
• Custom Hive resource management: Instruct your agent to create new Backendless Hive resources and retrieve full maps of stored values for scalable, flexible data handling.
• Safe data cleanup: Make it easy for your agent to remove obsolete files, directories, or scheduled tasks, helping maintain a tidy and efficient backend environment.

Use Backendless from Atomic Agent

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