How to integrate Databox MCP with Atomic Agent

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 Databox.

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 Databox account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Databox

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 Databox 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 Databox. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Databox 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.

The Databox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Databox account. It provides structured and secure access to your accounts, data sources, and datasets, so your agent can list accessible accounts, create and remove data sources, manage datasets, push data points, and check ingestion status on your behalf.

• Account discovery: Have your agent list the Databox accounts available to you before working with your data.
• Data source creation: Direct your agent to create new data sources for the business information you want to track.
• Dataset management: Let the agent create datasets for your metrics or remove datasets you no longer need.
• Data ingestion: Instruct your agent to push new data points into a Databox dataset for reporting and analysis.
• Ingestion monitoring and cleanup: Have your agent check whether dataset ingestion has completed and remove data sources you no longer use.

Use Databox from Atomic Agent

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