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

## TL;DR

### 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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `GLADIA_DELETE_LIVE_SESSION` | Delete Live Session | Tool to delete a live transcription session and all its associated data (audio file, transcription). Use when permanently removing a live session from Gladia. |
| `GLADIA_DELETE_PRE_RECORDED_JOB` | Delete Pre-recorded Job | Tool to delete a pre-recorded transcription job and all its associated data (audio file, transcription). Use when permanently removing a transcription job from Gladia. |
| `GLADIA_GET_LIVE_TRANSCRIPTION_RESULT` | Get live transcription result | Tool to retrieve metadata and results of a live transcription job. Use when you need detailed status or results for a specific live transcription session. |
| `GLADIA_GET_PRE_RECORDED_JOB` | Get Pre-recorded Job | Tool to retrieve a pre-recorded transcription job's metadata, status, and results by ID. Use when checking the status or retrieving results of a specific pre-recorded job. |
| `GLADIA_INITIATE_LIVE_SESSION` | Initiate Live Transcription Session | Initiates a live (real-time) transcription session with Gladia's API. Returns a WebSocket URL that you can connect to for streaming audio data in real-time. The WebSocket URL includes an embedded authentication token and should be used promptly. After initiating, connect to the returned WebSocket URL and send audio chunks. Use GET /v2/live/{id} to retrieve the full transcription results after the session ends. |
| `GLADIA_INITIATE_PRE_RECORDED_TRANSCRIPTION` | Initiate Pre-Recorded Transcription | Tool to initiate a pre-recorded transcription job. Use when you have an audio URL and need asynchronous transcription results. |
| `GLADIA_LIST_LIVE_TRANSCRIPTIONS` | List live transcription jobs | Tool to list live transcription jobs. Use when you need an overview of live transcription sessions with optional filtering and pagination. Use after setting up live transcription. |
| `GLADIA_LIST_PRE_RECORDED_JOBS` | List Pre-Recorded Jobs | Tool to list all pre-recorded transcription jobs matching the query parameters. Use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of transcription jobs with optional filtering by date, status, or custom metadata. |
| `GLADIA_UPLOAD_AUDIO_VIDEO_FILE` | Upload Audio/Video File | Upload an audio or video file to Gladia for speech-to-text transcription. Returns a URL that can be used with the pre-recorded transcription endpoint. Supports common audio formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG) and video formats (MP4, MKV, etc.). |

## 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 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

### 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 Gladia tools.

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

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.

### 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 Gladia data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
