How to integrate Google Docs 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 Google Docs.

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 Google Docs account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Google Docs

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 Google Docs 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 Google Docs. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Google Docs 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 Google Docs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Docs account. It provides structured and secure access to your documents and their content, so your agent can create, read, edit, format, and export documents on your behalf.

• Document creation and copying: Have your agent create documents from Markdown, add initial content, or make copies of existing documents.
• Content reading and editing: Let the agent retrieve plain text, insert new text, replace matching text, update sections with Markdown, or delete selected content.
• Document structure and formatting: Direct your agent to add headers, footers, footnotes, page breaks, bullets, named ranges, tabs, and page styling.
• Tables and images: Instruct your agent to create and populate tables, edit their rows and columns, add text or images to cells, and insert or replace inline images.
• PDF exports: Have your agent export a Google Doc as a PDF when you need a shareable final copy.

Use Google Docs from Atomic Agent

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