## 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 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](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

## TL;DR

### 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

### Connect Databox 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 Databox. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- 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.

```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY
```

## What is the Databox MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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 so your agent can perform Databox operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DATABOX_CREATE_DATASET` | Create Dataset | Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification. |
| `DATABOX_CREATE_DATA_SOURCE` | Create Data Source | Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters. |
| `DATABOX_DELETE_DATASET` | Delete Dataset | Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible. |
| `DATABOX_DELETE_DATA_SOURCE` | Delete Data Source | Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets. |
| `DATABOX_GET_DATASET_INGESTION_STATUS` | Get Dataset Ingestion Status | Tool to check the status of a specific data ingestion for a dataset. Use when you need to verify whether a data ingestion was successful by providing the dataset ID and ingestion ID returned from the initial POST request. |
| `DATABOX_LIST_ACCOUNTS` | List Accounts | Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation. |
| `DATABOX_PUSH_DATA_TO_DATASET_V1` | Push Data to Dataset (V1) | Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema. |

## 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 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.
Visit the [Atomic Agent website](https://atomicagent.io/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-site) or inspect the [Atomic Agent source code](https://github.com/AtomicBot-ai/atomic-agent?cta_placement=atomic-agent-repo).

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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