How Atomic Agent connects to Benzinga

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

The Benzinga MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Benzinga account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time financial news and market data, so your agent can track earnings, monitor analyst ratings, stream news, and analyze economic events on your behalf.

  • Live financial news streaming: Instantly stream real-time news updates, market-moving events, and breaking headlines as they happen so your agent always stays informed.
  • Earnings and conference call tracking: Automatically retrieve upcoming earnings dates, actuals, estimates, and conference call details for any ticker or date range.
  • Analyst sentiment and ratings insights: Fetch consensus analyst ratings, price targets, and detailed rating calendars to help evaluate stock sentiment and trends.
  • Economic event analysis: Access comprehensive economic calendar events, including values, consensus, and importance filters to understand macroeconomic impacts.
  • Audit and manage removed items: Identify and review deleted news articles or cancelled calendar events for full transparency and compliance.

Use Benzinga from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Benzinga 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 Benzinga MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Benzinga tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Benzinga 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 Benzinga tools.

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