## Introduction

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 Codereadr.
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 Codereadr account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

## TL;DR

### How Atomic Agent connects to Codereadr
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 Codereadr to Atomic Agent

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

The Codereadr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Codereadr account. It provides structured and secure access to your data collection and barcode scanning workflows, so your agent can create services, configure scan workflows, manage databases, and automate data collection processes for you.
- Automated service and workflow setup: Let your agent create new CodeREADr services and configure custom workflows for scanning, picking, delivery, and receiving tasks.
- Custom data collection form creation: Easily set up or modify data capture forms by adding or deleting custom questions after each scan.
- Real-time scan integration: Configure Direct Scan URLs, postback endpoints, or Google Sheets connectors to forward scan results instantly to your desired platforms.
- Device and database management: Direct your agent to delete devices or entire databases when they are no longer needed, streamlining your data environment.
- Kiosk and unattended scanning configuration: Enable and fine-tune Kiosk Mode for unattended or dedicated scanning stations to support high-volume operations.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CODEREADR_COLLECT_DATA_WITH_QUESTIONS` | Collect Data With Questions | Create and attach custom questions to a CodeREADr service for data collection after scans. Use this to configure forms that collect additional information from users after each barcode scan. Requires a valid service ID from CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SERVICES or CODEREADR_CREATE_SERVICE. |
| `CODEREADR_CONFIGURE_CONNECTOR` | Configure CodeREADr Connector | Helper to guide configuring the CodeREADr Connector for Google Sheets. There is no public API to programmatically create connector configurations. This tool validates your API connectivity (optional) and returns clear steps to proceed via the Google Sheets Add-on UI: https://www.codereadr.com/knowledgebase/codereadr-connector-add-on/ |
| `CODEREADR_CREATE_SERVICE` | Create CodeREADr Service | Creates a new CodeREADr service (barcode scanning workflow configuration). A service defines how barcode scans are processed - whether they're simply recorded, validated against a database, forwarded to an external URL, or display web content. Each validation_method type has different required parameters: 'database'/'ondevicedatabase' require database_id, 'postback' requires postback_url, 'webview' requires description (URL/HTML). |
| `CODEREADR_DELETE_DATABASE` | Delete CodeREADr Database | Delete a CodeREADr validation database by its ID. This permanently removes the database and all its barcode values. Use with caution. Note: A database cannot be deleted if it is currently linked to one or more services. You must unlink those services from the database first. Example: "Delete database with ID 1340798" |
| `CODEREADR_DELETE_DEVICE` | Delete Device | Tool to delete a device from CodeREADr. Uses the CodeREADr legacy API with section=devices and action=delete parameters. Note: Device deletion may have limited support in the CodeREADr API - only 'retrieve' and 'update' actions are officially documented for devices. |
| `CODEREADR_DELETE_QUESTION` | Delete Custom Question | Permanently deletes one or more custom questions from your CodeREADr account. Questions are used to collect additional data after scans. Once deleted, the question and all associated answer options are removed. This action cannot be undone. |
| `CODEREADR_DELETE_SERVICE` | Delete CodeREADr Service | Delete a CodeREADr service by its numeric ID. Use this to permanently remove a service/workflow configuration from your account. Note: This is a destructive action and cannot be undone. You can delete a single service, multiple services (comma-separated IDs), or all services. Example: "Delete service with ID 12345" |
| `CODEREADR_DELETE_USER` | Delete CodeREADr User | Deletes an existing user account from CodeREADr. Uses the CodeREADr legacy API endpoint (POST /api/ with section=users, action=delete). The user_id parameter can be a single ID, comma-separated list of IDs, or 'all'. Note: You cannot delete the account owner's app-user. The API will return an error if an invalid user_id is provided. |
| `CODEREADR_GENERATE_SCAN_LINK` | Generate Scan Link | Generates a CodeREADr scan link URI that opens the CodeREADr mobile app with a pre-filled scan value. Use this tool when you need to create clickable links that launch the CodeREADr scanner with a specific barcode, QR code, or identifier already entered. |
| `CODEREADR_LIST_SUPPORTED_BARCODE_TYPES` | List Supported Barcode Types | Lists barcode symbologies supported by CodeREADr for scanning. Returns 1D barcodes (Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, Codabar, etc.), 2D barcodes (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF-417, Aztec, etc.), and specialized formats. Use this to verify if a specific barcode type is supported before scanning. |
| `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_DATABASES` | Retrieve CodeREADr Databases | Retrieves all validation databases configured in your CodeREADr account. Use this to list databases for barcode validation, see their IDs, names, item counts, and which services they're linked to. |
| `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_DEVICES` | Retrieve Devices | Retrieve a list of devices registered to your CodeREADr account. This tool fetches information about devices linked to your account, including device IDs, UDIDs, names, and creation timestamps. Use this to monitor which devices have access to your CodeREADr services. |
| `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SCANS` | Retrieve Scan Records | Retrieve scan records from your CodeREADr account. Scans are the core data collected by CodeREADr when users scan barcodes using the mobile app. Each scan record includes the barcode value, timestamp, device info, validation status, and any collected responses. Use filters to narrow down results by service, user, device, date range, or status. Returns scan records in batches. Use limit and offset parameters for pagination. |
| `CODEREADR_RETRIEVE_SERVICES` | Retrieve CodeREADr Services | Retrieve configured services from your CodeREADr account. Services are the core organizational units in CodeREADr that define how barcode scans are validated and processed. Use this action to list all services or retrieve specific services by ID. |
| `CODEREADR_UPDATE_QUESTION` | Update CodeREADr Question | Add answer options to an existing CodeREADr question. Use this to add selectable answers for checkbox, dropdown, or option-type questions. The CodeREADr API does not support updating question text - to change text, delete and recreate the question. |
| `CODEREADR_UPDATE_SERVICE` | Update CodeREADr Service | Update an existing CodeREADr service configuration. Use this action to modify settings of a service by its ID. Only specified fields will be updated - omitted fields retain their current values. Common use cases: - Renaming a service - Changing postback/webhook URL - Enabling/disabling GPS tracking - Modifying duplicate scan handling - Setting time restrictions for service availability |

## 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](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Codereadr MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Codereadr while using Tool Router?

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