## 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 Docker hub.
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 Docker hub 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 Docker hub
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 Docker hub to Atomic Agent

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

The Docker hub MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Docker Hub account. It provides structured and secure access to your container repositories and organizations, so your agent can perform actions like creating repositories, managing organization members, deleting images, setting up webhooks, and cleaning up tags on your behalf.
- Repository and image management: Let your agent create new Docker Hub repositories, delete existing ones, and remove specific images or tags as needed.
- Organization and team automation: Easily add members to organizations, create new Docker Hub organizations, or delete organizations and teams directly from your workflows.
- Webhook configuration: Set up or remove repository webhooks to automate external integrations and keep your CI/CD pipelines in sync.
- Tag and resource cleanup: Direct your agent to delete outdated tags or unused resources, helping you maintain a tidy container registry.
- Secure role management: Invite users with specific roles to your organizations, ensuring the right access for collaborators and teams.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DOCKER_HUB_ADD_ORG_MEMBER` | Add Organization Member | Invite a user to join a Docker Hub organization. Sends an invitation email to the specified user (by Docker ID or email). The user must accept the invitation to become a member. Requires owner or admin privileges on the target organization. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_CREATE_ORGANIZATION` | Create Docker Hub Organization | Create a new Docker Hub organization. Note: This endpoint requires JWT authentication obtained via /v2/users/login and may have restricted access. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_CREATE_REPOSITORY` | Create Docker Hub Repository | Creates a new Docker Hub repository under the specified namespace. Use this to programmatically create public or private repositories for storing Docker images. Requires proper authentication with write permissions to the namespace. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_CREATE_WEBHOOK` | Create Docker Hub Webhook | Create a webhook on a Docker Hub repository to receive notifications on image push events. This is a two-step process: 1. Create the webhook with a name 2. Add a hook URL to the webhook Requires admin permissions on the repository. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_IMAGE` | Delete Repository Images | Delete one or more images from your Docker Hub namespace using the bulk delete API. IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS: - You must own the namespace (your username or an organization you admin) - You cannot delete images from 'library' (official Docker images) - Images are identified by SHA256 digest (get from LIST_IMAGES action) USAGE: 1. First use LIST_IMAGES to get image digests for your repository 2. Then call this action with the namespace, repository, and digest(s) Example: DELETE_IMAGE( namespace="myusername", manifests=[{"repository": "myapp", "digest": "sha256:abc123..."}] ). WARNING: Deletion is permanent and irreversible — obtain explicit user confirmation before calling this action. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_ORGANIZATION` | Delete Docker Hub Organization | Permanently deletes a Docker Hub organization. Requires owner permissions on the organization. This action is idempotent - deleting a non-existent organization returns success (404 treated as success). WARNING: Deletion is irreversible and removes all associated repositories, teams, and members. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_REPOSITORY` | Delete Docker Hub Repository | Permanently deletes a Docker Hub repository and all its images/tags. WARNING: This action is irreversible. All images, tags, and metadata will be permanently removed. This operation is idempotent - deleting a non-existent repository returns success. You must have admin/owner permissions on the repository to delete it. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_TAG` | Delete Repository Tag | Permanently delete a specific tag from a Docker Hub repository. Requirements: - Must have write/admin access to the repository - The namespace must be your username or an organization you belong to - This action is irreversible - the tag will be permanently removed Note: Cannot delete tags from official Docker Hub images (library namespace). |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_TEAM` | Delete Docker Hub Team | Permanently deletes a team from a Docker Hub organization. This operation is idempotent - deleting a non-existent team will succeed silently. Requires organization admin permissions. Use DOCKER_HUB_LIST_TEAMS to find available teams before deletion. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Docker Hub repository webhook | Deletes a specific webhook from a Docker Hub repository. Use this tool to remove webhook configurations from repositories you own or have admin access to. This is useful for cleaning up outdated, misconfigured, or no longer needed webhooks. Prerequisites: - You must have admin access to the repository - The repository and webhook must exist - Use the list webhooks action first to get the webhook ID Returns a success message if the webhook was deleted, or an error if the webhook doesn't exist or you lack permission to delete it. |
| `DOCKER_HUB_GET_IMAGE` | Get Docker Hub Image | Retrieve details about a specific platform-specific image variant by its digest. This tool searches through repository tags to find and return metadata for an image matching the specified SHA256 digest. Returns architecture, OS, size, status, and timestamps. Use LIST_IMAGES first to discover available digests, then use this tool to get details about a specific image variant. Example: GET_IMAGE(namespace="library", repository="ubuntu", digest="sha256:a4453623f2f8319cfff65c43da9be80fe83b1a7ce689579b475867d69495b782") |
| `DOCKER_HUB_GET_REPOSITORY` | Get Docker Hub Repository | Retrieves detailed information about a specific Docker Hub repository.

## 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 Docker hub from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Docker hub 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 Docker hub MCP?

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

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

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