How to integrate Kaggle 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 Kaggle.

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

How Atomic Agent connects to Kaggle

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 Kaggle 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 Kaggle. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Kaggle 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 Kaggle MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kaggle account. It provides structured and secure access to your Kaggle datasets, competitions, and configurations, so your agent can perform actions like downloading competition data, creating datasets, submitting entries, and managing dataset versions on your behalf.

• Competition data access and download: Let your agent fetch and download competition datasets quickly by specifying a competition ID, so you always have the latest files for analysis.
• Automated dataset creation and management: Have your agent create new Kaggle datasets, update metadata, and publish new dataset versions seamlessly, streamlining the process of sharing your work with the community.
• Competition entry submission: Empower your agent to submit competition entries automatically once your solution is ready and uploaded, helping you participate in challenges without manual hassle.
• Configuration management and setup: Allow your agent to initialize, locate, and update Kaggle API configuration files and keys, ensuring smooth and authenticated operations every time.
• Dataset status monitoring: Ask your agent to check the status of uploaded datasets or processing jobs, so you always know when your data is ready for use or public sharing.

Use Kaggle from Atomic Agent

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