# How to integrate Metaphor MCP with Atomic Agent ```json { "title": "How to integrate Metaphor MCP with Atomic Agent", "toolkit": "Metaphor", "toolkit_slug": "metaphor", "framework": "Atomic Agent", "framework_slug": "atomic-agent", "url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/atomic-agent", "markdown_url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/atomic-agent.md", "updated_at": "2026-08-11T13:12:11.790Z" } ``` ## Introduction 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 Metaphor. 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 Metaphor account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate Metaphor with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaphor/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to Metaphor 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 Metaphor to Atomic Agent ### Connect Metaphor 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 Metaphor. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Metaphor 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 Metaphor MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Metaphor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Metaphor account. It provides structured and secure access to your neural search data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving document contents, extracting metadata, and surfacing relevant knowledge from indexed documents on your behalf. - Bulk document content retrieval: Fetch the full parsed HTML or text of multiple documents at once using their IDs, making research and data extraction effortless. - Metadata extraction and analysis: Have your agent pull structured metadata (like title, source, or date) for any set of indexed documents to power downstream tasks or summaries. - Context-aware content delivery: Provide your agent with in-depth context from relevant documents to inform generation, summarization, or Q&A workflows. - Automated research pipelines: Let the agent orchestrate the retrieval of primary sources and their contents, enabling advanced aggregation or cross-document insights. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `METAPHOR_GET_CONTENTS` | Get document contents by IDs | Tool to retrieve parsed HTML/text contents and metadata for documents by their IDs." Use when you need to fetch the full text and metadata of multiple documents at once. | ## 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 Metaphor from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Metaphor in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

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