## 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 Explorium.
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 Explorium 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 Explorium
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 Explorium to Atomic Agent

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `EXPLORIUM_AUTOCOMPLETE_FILTER_VALUES` | Autocomplete Filter Values | Find normalized values for Explorium business and prospect search filters, including company names, job titles, industries, locations, skills, and interests. Live trial calls consumed zero credits. |
| `EXPLORIUM_ENRICH_BUSINESS_FIRMOGRAPHICS` | Enrich Business Firmographics | Enrich 1-50 Explorium business IDs with company firmographics. This call is credit-metered: a live trial probe charged exactly one credit for one submitted business. Check EXPLORIUM_GET_CREDIT_BALANCE first; the response reports the actual credit usage for the call. |
| `EXPLORIUM_GET_AUDIENCE_STATS` | Get Audience Stats | Return aggregate distributions and total counts for either a business or prospect filter set before fetching records. Empty business filters were live-tested at zero credits; usage is still reported. |
| `EXPLORIUM_GET_CREDIT_BALANCE` | Get Credit Balance | Return the connected Explorium company's allocated and remaining credits and trial or paid account type. Use before full searches, enrichments, or other potentially metered calls. |
| `EXPLORIUM_GET_JOB_STATUS` | Get Job Status | Get detailed status, timing, credit usage, errors, and downloadable CSV result metadata for one existing Explorium job. Invalid IDs may produce a provider 500 instead of 404. |
| `EXPLORIUM_LIST_JOBS` | List Jobs | List existing Explorium asynchronous jobs, optionally filtered by lifecycle status, and return their IDs for detailed monitoring. This does not create or cancel jobs. |
| `EXPLORIUM_MATCH_BUSINESSES` | Match Businesses | Resolve 1-50 business names, domains, URLs, or LinkedIn URLs to Explorium business IDs while preserving input order. The provider reports credit usage for every call; a one-record trial call consumed zero credits. |
| `EXPLORIUM_MATCH_PROSPECTS` | Match Prospects | Resolve 1-50 people from names, employers, email, phone, LinkedIn URL, or Explorium business ID to prospect IDs while preserving input order. A live one-record trial call used zero credits; returned usage is included. |
| `EXPLORIUM_SEARCH_BUSINESSES` | Search Businesses | Search Explorium businesses with structured filters and cursor pagination. Preview mode is the zero-credit default observed on the trial account; full mode may consume credits, so check EXPLORIUM_GET_CREDIT_BALANCE first. |
| `EXPLORIUM_SEARCH_PROSPECTS` | Search Prospects | Search Explorium prospects with strict person and employer filters, returning one cursor-paginated page. Preview is the zero-credit default observed on the trial account; full mode may consume credits. |

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

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

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

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