## Introduction

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,700+ apps through Composio, including Pigment.
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 Pigment 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 Pigment
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 Pigment to Atomic Agent

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

The Pigment MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pigment account. It provides structured and secure access to your applications, planning blocks, views, files, imports, and data flows, so your agent can inspect workspace structure, export business data, upload files, start imports, and monitor data operations on your behalf.
- Explore your planning workspace: Have your agent list applications, blocks, views, files, import configurations, and data flows available in Pigment.
- Export planning data: Direct your agent to export lists, metrics, tables, or views as CSV files with the required filters, scenarios, fields, and formatting options.
- Manage file-based imports: Let the agent upload files, push CSV data into Pigment, start Looker imports, and check import progress and results.
- Run business data flows: Instruct your agent to trigger configured data flows and check their current status and per-step results.
- Monitor workspace snapshots: Have your agent list scheduled, active, completed, and failed snapshots for Pigment applications.

## 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/platform) for the current limits that apply to your connection.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Use Pigment from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Pigment 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 Pigment MCP?

With a standalone Pigment MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Pigment tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Pigment 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 Pigment tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pigment 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 Pigment data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
