How to integrate Glen MCP with Atomic Agent

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 Glen.

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

How Atomic Agent connects to Glen

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 Glen 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 Glen. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Glen 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.

The Glen MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Glen account. It provides structured and secure access to your organization's shared memory, artifacts, reusable skills, and Glen settings, so your agent can search team knowledge, save and retrieve documents, create and use reusable skills, trace code to past conversations, and manage sharing and recording preferences on your behalf.

• Search organizational memory: Have your agent search Glen for past decisions, context, and team knowledge, then exclude outdated evidence or restore it later.
• Manage shared artifacts: Let the agent find, retrieve, create, share, or delete Markdown and HTML documents in your organization's artifact library.
• Create and use team skills: Direct your agent to find reusable skills, fetch their instructions, save new skills, share them with teammates, or delete skills you authored.
• Trace code and preserve conversations: Instruct your agent to connect specific code lines to the conversations that produced them or import a past coding-agent conversation into shared memory.
• Manage Glen workspace settings: Have your agent check organizations, invite teammates, change recording and skill suggestion settings, and send feedback or bug reports to Glen.

Use Glen from Atomic Agent

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