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 Gladia.

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

How Atomic Agent connects to Gladia

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

The Gladia MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gladia account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced audio transcription and intelligence services, so your agent can perform actions like uploading audio, transcribing recordings, retrieving live transcription results, and organizing jobs on your behalf.

  • Real-time and asynchronous transcription: Instantly start live or pre-recorded transcription jobs for audio and video files, letting your agent process spoken content with ease.
  • Audio and video file uploads: Seamlessly upload audio or video files to Gladia's servers as a first step before transcription or analysis.
  • Fetch detailed transcription results: Retrieve comprehensive results and metadata from both live and pre-recorded transcription sessions, including job status and transcribed text.
  • Job management and status tracking: List, filter, and monitor all your live and pre-recorded transcription jobs so your agent can keep tabs on ongoing or completed work.
  • Effortless workflow automation: Combine audio file handling, job initiation, and result retrieval into streamlined, agent-driven automations—saving you time and manual effort.

Use Gladia from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Gladia 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 Gladia MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Gladia tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Gladia 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 Gladia tools.

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