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 Gemini.

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

How Atomic Agent connects to Gemini

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

The Gemini MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gemini account. It provides structured and secure access to Gemini's multimodal AI features, so your agent can generate text, images, and videos, analyze content, and manage model resources on your behalf.

  • Text and content generation: Instruct your agent to create high-quality, customized text using Gemini's advanced generative models—great for brainstorming, drafting, or summarizing information.
  • Creative image and video generation: Ask the agent to generate original images or high-quality videos from text prompts using Gemini 2.5 Flash and Veo models, with fine control over style and format.
  • Embedding and semantic analysis: Let your agent transform any text into rich semantic embeddings for similarity search, clustering, or classification tasks.
  • Model discovery and optimization: Have the agent list available Gemini and Veo models, check their capabilities, and select the best fit for your project or workflow.
  • Efficient resource management: Enable the agent to track video generation operations, download final assets, and optimize prompt inputs by counting tokens—all without manual intervention.

Use Gemini from Atomic Agent

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

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 for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Gemini MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Gemini tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Gemini and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Gemini tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Gemini 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.

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 Gemini data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
