How Atomic Agent connects to Coinmarketcap

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

The Coinmarketcap MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Coinmarketcap account. It provides structured and secure access to live and historical cryptocurrency market data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching crypto prices, mapping coins and exchanges, analyzing global trends, and retrieving detailed asset info on your behalf.

  • Real-time cryptocurrency price tracking: Instantly get the latest market quotes for any supported cryptocurrency, including price, volume, and market cap.
  • Comprehensive asset and exchange mapping: Retrieve and reference unique IDs, symbols, and names for all cryptocurrencies and exchanges to power portfolio and trading automations.
  • Historical listings and data analysis: Access historical exchange listings and past market snapshots to inform investment research or backtesting strategies.
  • Global market metrics aggregation: Let your agent pull up-to-date, aggregated market data like total market cap, trading volume, and dominance statistics for macro analysis.
  • Detailed asset and exchange metadata retrieval: Fetch rich metadata, including logos, descriptions, launch dates, and official links for any crypto asset or exchange—perfect for building dashboards or research tools.

Use Coinmarketcap from Atomic Agent

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

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