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 Heartbeat account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Heartbeat with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/codex) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/grok-build) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/hermes-agent) - [Pi](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/pi-agent) - [DeepSeek Harness](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/deepseek) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/heartbeat/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Heartbeat 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 Heartbeat to Atomic Agent ### Connect Heartbeat 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 Heartbeat. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Heartbeat 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 Heartbeat MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Heartbeat MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Heartbeat account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Heartbeat operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `HEARTBEAT_GET_EVENTS` | Get Events | Tool to retrieve event information from the community. Use when you need to list events with optional pagination support. | | `HEARTBEAT_LIST_CHANNELS` | List channels | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of channels in the community. Use when you need to list, browse, or search for channels in the Heartbeat community. Supports filtering by archived status, channel type, and pagination. | | `HEARTBEAT_LIST_GROUPS` | List Groups | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of access groups in the community. Use when you need to browse groups with optional filters for parent groups or user membership. Supports cursor-based pagination. | | `HEARTBEAT_LIST_USERS` | List Users | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of users in the Heartbeat community. Use when you need to get user information with optional filtering by creation date, group membership, or role. | | `HEARTBEAT_REACTIVATE_USER` | Reactivate User | Tool to reactivate a previously deleted user by email to allow them to access the community again. Use when you need to restore access for a user who was previously removed. | | `HEARTBEAT_RETRIEVE_GROUP` | Retrieve Group | Tool to retrieve a single group by its ID. Use when you need to get detailed information about a specific group in the Heartbeat community. | | `HEARTBEAT_RETRIEVE_USER` | Retrieve User | Tool to retrieve a single user by their ID. Use when you need to get detailed information about a specific user in the Heartbeat community. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## 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 Heartbeat from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Heartbeat in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

With a standalone Heartbeat MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Heartbeat tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Heartbeat 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 Heartbeat tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Heartbeat while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Heartbeat 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 Heartbeat data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
