## 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 Pdfmonkey.
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](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

## TL;DR

### 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

### Connect Pdfmonkey 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 Pdfmonkey. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- 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.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PDFMONKEY_CREATE_DOCUMENT` | Create Document | Tool to create a Document. Use when you need to instantiate a PDF from a template; set status='pending' to queue immediate generation. Ensure valid `document_template_id` is provided. |
| `PDFMONKEY_CREATE_DOCUMENT_SYNC` | Create Document Sync | Tool to create a document and wait for generation to finish. Use when immediate PDF is needed. |
| `PDFMONKEY_CREATE_TEMPLATE` | Create Template | Creates a new PDF document template in PDFMonkey. Use this to define reusable templates with HTML/Liquid content and CSS styles for generating PDF documents. Typical workflow: Create template → Preview with draft content → Publish → Generate documents. The template supports Liquid templating syntax (e.g., {{variable_name}}) for dynamic content injection. Only 'identifier' is required; all other fields have sensible defaults. |
| `PDFMONKEY_DELETE_DOCUMENT` | Delete Document | Tool to delete a Document by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a document after confirming its ID. Returns 204 No Content on success. |
| `PDFMONKEY_DELETE_TEMPLATE` | Delete PDFMonkey Document Template | Tool to delete a document template by ID. Use when you need to remove obsolete templates after validation. |
| `PDFMONKEY_DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT_FILE` | Download Document File | Tool to download a generated PDF file via a presigned URL. Use after obtaining a valid download_url from the Document details endpoint. Verify document status is 'success' (not 'draft' or 'pending') via PDFMONKEY_GET_DOCUMENT before downloading to avoid incomplete files. The URL expires after 1 hour; fetch a new URL upon expiry (403 Forbidden). |
| `PDFMONKEY_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get Current User | Tool to retrieve details about the currently authenticated user. Use when you need account info (quota, plan, email, locale) after authentication. |
| `PDFMONKEY_GET_DOCUMENT` | Get Document | Tool to fetch a Document by its ID. Returns the full document record including payload, meta, logs, and download URL. Note: download_url is time-limited; if a download attempt fails, call GetDocument again to obtain a fresh URL. Check the status field for a finalized (non-draft) state before passing the record to downstream processing tools. |
| `PDFMONKEY_GET_DOCUMENT_CARD` | Get DocumentCard | Tool to fetch a DocumentCard by ID. Use when you have a DocumentCard ID and need its download URLs, status, and metadata. Use after generating or updating a DocumentCard. |
| `PDFMONKEY_GET_TEMPLATE` | Get Template by ID | Tool to fetch a Document Template by ID. Use when you need the template's content, styles, settings, and preview URL. |
| `PDFMONKEY_LIST_DOCUMENT_CARDS` | List DocumentCards | Tool to list DocumentCards. Use when you need to retrieve multiple DocumentCards with optional pagination and filtering by template, status, workspace, or update time. |
| `PDFMONKEY_LIST_PDF_ENGINES` | List PDF Engines | Lists all available PDF rendering engines in PDFMonkey. Returns engine IDs, version names, numeric versions, and deprecation status. Use this to select a PDF engine when creating templates or generating documents. Recommended: Use the latest non-deprecated engine (e.g., v5 or highest version). |
| `PDFMONKEY_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List Template Cards | List all document template cards for a workspace. Use this action to: - Retrieve all templates available in a workspace - Filter templates by folder (or get only root folder templates with folders='none') - Paginate through large template lists - Sort templates by identifier, creation date, or last update date Returns template cards with metadata including IDs, names, auth tokens, and timestamps. |
| `PDFMONKEY_LIST_WORKSPACES` | List Workspaces | Tool to list workspaces (applications). Use when you need all available workspaces for the authenticated user after login. |
| `PDFMONKEY_PREVIEW_TEMPLATE` | Preview Template | Fetches the template preview viewer page from PDFMonkey's preview_url. Returns an HTML viewer page that displays the rendered template draft. Use this after obtaining a template's preview_url via Get Template or List Templates. |
| `PDFMONKEY_UPDATE_DOCUMENT` | Update Document | Updates an existing PDFMonkey document's payload, metadata, template, or status. Common use cases: - Modify document data (payload) before generation - Change the template used for the document - Add or update custom metadata - Trigger PDF regeneration by setting status to 'pending' Note: To regenerate a document with updated data, update the payload and set status='pending'. |
| `PDFMONKEY_UPDATE_TEMPLATE` | Update Document Template | Tool to update a document template’s properties. Use when you need to modify an existing template’s content, styles, settings, engine, folder, or TTL. |
| `PDFMONKEY_VIEW_PUBLIC_SHARE_LINK` | View Public Share Link | Tool to download a publicly shared PDF via its permanent share link. Use when the document's public_share_link is enabled to fetch the PDF file directly. |

## 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 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Pdfmonkey MCP?

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.

### 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 Pdfmonkey tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Pdfmonkey while using Tool Router?

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.

### 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 Pdfmonkey data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
