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 News api account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate News api with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/kimi) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/news_api/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to News api 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 News api to Atomic Agent ### Connect News api 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 News api. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your News api 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 News api MCP server, and what's possible with it? The News api MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your News api account. It provides structured and secure access to live news data, so your agent can perform actions like searching headlines, retrieving articles, and filtering news stories by topic, source, or date on your behalf. - Headline search and retrieval: Instantly fetch the latest news headlines from thousands of trusted sources around the world, tailored to your interests or keywords. - Topic-based article discovery: Ask your agent to pull in-depth articles about specific topics, trends, or breaking events as they happen. - Source and region filtering: Easily filter news stories by publication, language, or geographic region to get the most relevant updates for your needs. - Date and time range queries: Quickly access news published within a certain date or time window, perfect for tracking ongoing stories or recent developments. - Trending and popular news aggregation: Let your agent surface the most-read or widely shared articles so you never miss what’s making headlines. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING` | Get Everything | Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your News API plan tier (free plans limited to ~1 month). No country parameter exists; target geography via sources, domains, or country-specific terms in q. Burst requests may trigger HTTP 429; apply backoff on throttling errors. | | `NEWS_API_GET_SOURCES` | Get Sources | Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results. | | `NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES` | Get Top Headlines | Tool to retrieve live top and breaking headlines; does not support historical or date-bounded queries (use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING for past date ranges). Results favor major outlets; use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or COMPOSIO_SEARCH_WEB for niche publications. Use when you need current headlines filtered by country, category, source(s), or keywords. | | `NEWS_API_GET_V1_ARTICLES` | Get V1 Articles | Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines. | ## 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 News api from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with News api in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

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