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 Better proposals account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Better proposals with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Better proposals 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 Better proposals to Atomic Agent ### Connect Better proposals to Atomic Agent - Sign up or sign in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-api-key). Copy your API key. - 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. - Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Better proposals. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Better proposals 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 Better proposals MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Better Proposals MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Better Proposals account. It provides structured and secure access to your proposals workspace, so your agent can perform actions like creating companies, generating proposals, listing templates, and managing document types on your behalf. - Automated proposal creation: Instruct your agent to generate new proposal covers or assemble entire proposals using customizable templates and dynamic content. - Company and client management: Let your agent create new companies, retrieve lists of existing clients, and keep your contacts organized for faster proposal delivery. - Template and document type selection: Ask your agent to fetch available templates and document types, helping you choose the right style and format every time. - Quote and currency handling: Have your agent list all available quotes and supported currencies, streamlining the pricing and invoicing process for your proposals. - Bulk data retrieval and reporting: Direct the agent to gather lists of all proposals, document types, or companies for easy review, reporting, or dashboarding. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_CREATE_COMPANY` | Create Company | Tool to create a new company.

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](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Use Better proposals from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Better proposals in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

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