## 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 Conductor.
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 Conductor 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 Conductor
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 Conductor to Atomic Agent

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

The Conductor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Conductor account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Conductor operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CONDUCTOR_CHANGE_WORKSPACE_STATE` | Change Workspace State | Put a workspace to sleep or archive it. Both actions stop active workspace use; archive is a stronger transition but is documented as restorable. Confirm the intended target and state before calling. |
| `CONDUCTOR_CREATE_SESSION` | Create Session | Create another agent chat session in an existing workspace. This may start agent/model resources and incur charges; call only when the user explicitly intends a new session. |
| `CONDUCTOR_CREATE_WORKSPACE` | Create Workspace | Create a cloud workspace and its first agent session. This launches compute and may incur cloud or model charges; call only when the user explicitly intends to create a new workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get Current User | Return the user and organization represented by the connected Conductor API key. Use this to verify which account the connection acts as. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_MESSAGE` | Get Message | Get one transcript message by id. The content may contain sensitive prompts, agent output, configuration, or provider-specific events. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_PROJECT` | Get Project | Get one Conductor project and its repository remote by project id. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_SESSION` | Get Session | Get one agent session's configuration and current idle, working, or error status in one read. The tool fails unless both records are retrieved and refer to the requested session. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_WORKSPACE` | Get Workspace | Get a workspace's metadata and current lifecycle status in one read, including initialization progress or errors. The tool fails unless both records are retrieved and refer to the requested workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_MESSAGES` | List Messages | Read one page of a session transcript or incrementally read messages after a known message ID. Returned content may contain sensitive user prompts, agent output, configuration, or provider events; request and expose it only when needed. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | List repositories available to the connected account for creating Conductor workspaces. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_SESSIONS` | List Sessions | List one page of agent chat sessions in a Conductor workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_WORKSPACES` | List Workspaces | List one page of workspaces belonging to a Conductor project, including deep links and recent activity. |
| `CONDUCTOR_QUERY_TRANSCRIPTS` | Query Transcripts | Run one read-only SQL SELECT against the organization's session_transcripts_view. Results can expose sensitive transcript text across many sessions: select only necessary columns, constrain rows with LIMIT, and use this only for deliberate organization-wide analysis. Conductor limits queries to 5 seconds and responses to 500 rows, so results may be truncated. |
| `CONDUCTOR_RENAME_SESSION` | Rename Session | Change an existing Conductor session's display name without stopping its agent. |
| `CONDUCTOR_RENAME_WORKSPACE` | Rename Workspace | Change the display name of an existing Conductor workspace without changing its lifecycle state. |
| `CONDUCTOR_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message | Send a prompt to a Conductor session agent. This can start external agent/model execution and incur charges; it is not a passive transcript append. Call only when the user intends the agent to act. |
| `CONDUCTOR_STOP_SESSION` | Stop Session | Cancel only the current turn and queued messages, or archive the entire session. Both can discard queued work; archive also stops the agent and leaves the session read-only. Confirm the intended action before calling. |

## 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.

## Conclusion

### Use Conductor from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Conductor 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 Conductor MCP?

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

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

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