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

How Atomic Agent connects to Pdfmonkey

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 Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey. It searches Composio for the right tool.
  4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Pdfmonkey MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, or others directly to your Pdfmonkey account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF automation workflows, so your agent can generate documents from templates, download PDFs, manage templates, and retrieve document details on your behalf.

  • Automated PDF generation: Instantly create new PDF documents from pre-built templates or custom data payloads, either asynchronously or waiting for immediate results.
  • Template management and updates: Let your agent create, fetch, or delete document templates to keep your PDF generation process organized and up to date.
  • Document retrieval and monitoring: Fetch the full details of any generated document, including metadata, logs, and download links for seamless workflow integration.
  • Secure PDF file download: Easily obtain presigned URLs to access or share generated PDF files, with automatic handling of expiring links.
  • Account and usage insights: Retrieve authenticated user information, such as quota, plan, and locale, to help monitor and manage your Pdfmonkey usage directly from your agent.

Use Pdfmonkey from Atomic Agent

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

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 for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Pdfmonkey MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Pdfmonkey tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Pdfmonkey and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Pdfmonkey tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pdfmonkey 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.

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 Pdfmonkey data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
