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 Maintainx account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Maintainx with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/maintainx/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Maintainx 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 Maintainx to Atomic Agent ### Connect Maintainx 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 Maintainx. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Maintainx 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 Maintainx MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Maintainx MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Maintainx account. It provides structured and secure access to your maintenance operations, so your agent can create work orders, update existing tasks, manage assets, and keep your teams aligned—automatically and on your behalf. - Work order creation and management: Instantly have your agent create new work orders, add detailed descriptions, set priorities, and assign them to the right teams or users. - Automated work order updates and comments: Let your agent update existing work orders or add comments for documentation and real-time communication between team members. - Asset and location tracking: Effortlessly list and retrieve all assets and locations across your organization, helping you keep maintenance data organized and accessible. - Category and team organization: Enable your agent to fetch and manage categories or teams, ensuring work orders and assets are classified and assigned correctly. - Smart work request portals: Have your agent generate custom work request portals so stakeholders can submit maintenance requests easily and securely. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MAINTAINX_CREATE_CATEGORY` | Create Category | Tool to create a new category in MaintainX for organizing work orders, assets, and other items. Use when you need to add a new category to the organization's classification system. | | `MAINTAINX_CREATE_LOCATION` | Create Location | Tool to create a new location in MaintainX. Use when you need to add a new physical location where assets are stored or work is performed. Locations can be organized hierarchically using the parentId parameter. | | `MAINTAINX_CREATE_PROCEDURE_TEMPLATE` | Create Procedure Template | Tool to create a new procedure template in MaintainX with checklist items for work orders.

Tool to update work request portal information such as title, welcome text, contact information, and notification settings. Use when modifying an existing portal's configuration. | ## 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 Maintainx from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Maintainx in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

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