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 Canny account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Canny with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Canny 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 Canny to Atomic Agent ### Connect Canny 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 Canny. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Canny 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 Canny MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Canny MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Canny account. It provides structured and secure access to your feedback boards, so your agent can create new posts, manage user feedback, update post status, and keep changelogs up to date—all automatically, on your behalf. - Automated feedback collection and posting: Enable your agent to create new posts on boards, capturing fresh user suggestions or bug reports with the right context every time. - User and comment management: Let your agent create or update user profiles, add new comments to posts, and even delete users or comments for moderation or compliance needs. - Status and tag updates: Have your agent update post statuses to reflect progress or changes, apply tags to categorize feedback, and create new tags as your product evolves. - Changelog automation: Seamlessly generate and publish changelog entries to keep users informed about new features or bug fixes, with full control over timing and notifications. - Feedback voting and prioritization: Allow your agent to create or migrate votes for posts, helping you track which ideas matter most to your users with minimal manual effort. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CANNY_ADD_POST_TAG` | Add Post Tag | Tool to add a tag to a specific post.

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

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