## 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 Placid.
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 Placid 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 Placid
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 Placid to Atomic Agent

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

The Placid MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Placid account. It provides structured and secure access to your creative automation workspace, so your agent can perform actions like creating image templates, managing template collections, and deleting designs on your behalf.
- Template creation and customization: Instantly generate new Placid templates with defined dimensions, tags, or custom metadata—perfect for automating banners, graphics, and more.
- Template deletion and lifecycle management: Direct your agent to safely remove obsolete or unused templates by their unique IDs, keeping your workspace organized and clutter-free.
- Collection retrieval and organization: Have your agent fetch and list all template collections, making it easy to browse, search, or group creative assets programmatically.
- Automated workflow integration: Integrate template management into larger creative pipelines, allowing your agent to handle content operations without manual intervention.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PLACID_CREATE_COLLECTION` | Create Collection | Tool to create a new template collection to group multiple templates. Use when organizing templates into collections with custom metadata. |
| `PLACID_CREATE_TEMPLATE` | Create Template | Tool to create a new Placid template. Use when you need a template with specific dimensions and optional tags or custom metadata. Example: "Create a social-media banner." |
| `PLACID_DELETE_COLLECTION` | Delete Collection | Tool to delete a template collection by its ID. Use after confirming the collection is no longer needed. Note: This does not delete the templates within the collection. |
| `PLACID_DELETE_TEMPLATE` | Delete Template | Tool to delete a specific template identified by UUID. Use after confirming the template is no longer needed. |
| `PLACID_GET_COLLECTION` | Get Collection | Tool to retrieve a single collection by its ID. Use when you need details about a specific collection including its title, custom data, and associated template UUIDs. |
| `PLACID_GET_COLLECTIONS` | Get Collections | Tool to retrieve a list of all template collections. Use after authentication to paginate through your Placid collections. |
| `PLACID_GET_TEMPLATE` | Get Template | Tool to retrieve a template by UUID. Returns template details including title, thumbnail, tags, and layers. |
| `PLACID_LIST_NL_TEMPLATES` | List NL Templates | Tool to list all available templates via the Natural Language API. Use when you need to discover available templates for generating images. |
| `PLACID_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List Templates | Tool to retrieve a list of templates from your project. Returns 20 items per page with cursor pagination. Use to browse templates, optionally filtered by collection or title. |
| `PLACID_UPDATE_COLLECTION` | Update Collection | Tool to update an existing template collection. Use to modify title, custom_data, or manage templates (replace all, or incrementally add/remove specific templates). |
| `PLACID_UPDATE_TEMPLATE` | Update Template | Tool to update an existing Placid template. Use when you need to modify the title, tags, or custom_data of a template. |

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

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

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

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