How Atomic Agent connects to Bannerbear

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

The Bannerbear MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bannerbear account. It provides structured and secure access to your Bannerbear workspace, so your agent can generate images, create videos, manage templates, merge PDFs, and retrieve creative assets on your behalf.

  • Automated image and video generation: Enable your agent to create customized graphics or videos at scale using your Bannerbear templates and project assets.
  • Template browsing and management: Let your agent list, inspect, and select templates or template sets for creative projects, making it easy to automate content workflows.
  • Font and asset discovery: Have your agent retrieve available fonts and signed bases, ensuring the right design elements are used for every creative output.
  • PDF merging automation: Direct your agent to combine multiple PDFs into a single document, streamlining report or collateral creation.
  • Account and usage monitoring: Allow your agent to fetch current account status, API usage, and quota information to keep your creative operations running smoothly.

Use Bannerbear from Atomic Agent

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

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

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