## 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 Plain.
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 Plain 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 Plain
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 Plain to Atomic Agent

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

The Plain MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Plain account. It provides structured and secure access to your B2B support workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing customers, creating support threads, fetching company details, handling issues, and organizing customer groups on your behalf.
- Customer management and onboarding: Automatically create new customer records, fetch customer information by email or ID, and add customers to specific support groups for better organization.
- Support thread creation: Let your agent create new support threads tied to customers, making it easy to kick off or escalate conversations without manual intervention.
- Issue tracking and retrieval: Fetch all external issue links associated with a customer, helping your team stay on top of ongoing problems and resolutions.
- Company and tier information access: Retrieve detailed company profiles and tier metadata, including contract value, owner details, and more, to personalize support interactions.
- User and customer cleanup: Safely delete customers or users from the system when offboarding or data hygiene is needed, all through agent-driven actions.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PLAIN_ADD_CUSTOMER_TO_GROUP` | Add Customer To Group | Tool to add a customer to one or more customer groups. Use when you have a customer and groups ready. |
| `PLAIN_CREATE_CUSTOMER_GROUP` | Create Customer Group | Creates a new customer group in Plain for organizing and segmenting customers. Customer groups allow you to categorize customers (e.g., by pricing tier, feature access, or support level) and manage them more effectively in your support workflow. Each group has a unique key, display name, and visual color for easy identification. Use this when you need to create a new customer segment for organization or filtering purposes. |
| `PLAIN_CREATE_THREAD` | Create Thread | Tool to create a new thread. Use after obtaining valid customer identifier. |
| `PLAIN_DELETE_CUSTOMER` | Delete Customer | Tool to delete a customer from the system. Use when you need to remove a customer by their ID. |
| `PLAIN_DELETE_USER` | Delete User | Tool to delete a user from the system. Use when you need to remove a user by their ID after confirming existence. |
| `PLAIN_FETCH_COMPANY` | Fetch Company | Tool to fetch company details by ID. Use when you need the full profile of a company, including name, domain, contract value, owner info, and timestamps. |
| `PLAIN_FETCH_ISSUES` | Fetch Issues | Fetches external issue tracker links (Jira, Linear, GitHub, etc.) associated with a customer's threads. Returns a flattened list of all issue links across the customer's threads, including the thread context for each issue. Useful for getting a complete view of all external issues related to a customer. With defaults, returns up to threadFirst×linkFirst (2,500) total issue links; results are truncated if limits are exceeded, so reduce threadFirst or linkFirst for large datasets. |
| `PLAIN_FETCH_TIER` | Fetch Tier | Tool to fetch a tier by its ID. Use when you have a tier ID and need its metadata before proceeding. Example: "Fetch tier with ID tier_123". |
| `PLAIN_GET_CUSTOMER_BY_EMAIL` | Get Customer By Email | Fetch customer details by email address. Returns customer information if found, or null if no customer exists with that email. |
| `PLAIN_GET_CUSTOMER_BY_ID` | Get Customer By ID | Tool to retrieve details of a specific customer by their unique ID. Use after obtaining the customer's ID to fetch their complete record. |
| `PLAIN_GET_CUSTOMERS` | Get Customers | Tool to fetch a list of customers. Use when retrieving multiple customer records with pagination, filtering, or sorting. |
| `PLAIN_GET_THREAD_BY_ID` | Get Thread By ID | Fetches comprehensive details of a specific thread by ID, including customer info, status, priority, labels, and assignments. Returns null if thread not found. |
| `PLAIN_GET_USER_BY_ID` | Get User By ID | Fetch workspace user/team member by ID. Returns detailed information about a workspace team member including their name, email, status, and avatar. Note: This fetches workspace users (team members), not customers. Use GET_CUSTOMER_BY_ID for customer data. |
| `PLAIN_LIST_CUSTOMER_GROUPS` | List Customer Groups | Tool to list all customer groups. Use when you need to retrieve group metadata with optional pagination or filters. |
| `PLAIN_LIST_TIERS` | List Tiers | Tool to retrieve a list of tiers with pagination. Use when you need to browse available tiers after determining pagination cursors. Example: 'List tiers with first=25'. |
| `PLAIN_QUERY_THREADS` | List Threads | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of threads. Use when you need to list threads with optional status filtering. |
| `PLAIN_REMOVE_CUSTOMER_FROM_GROUP` | Remove Customer From Group | Removes a customer from one or more customer groups in Plain. Use this action to revoke customer group memberships. The customer must be a member of the specified group(s) - attempting to remove a customer from a group they're not in will result in an error. Groups can be identified by either their Plain internal ID (customerGroupId) or their unique key (customerGroupKey). Common use cases: - Downgrade customer tier (e.g., remove from premium_tier group) - Remove customer from beta access groups - Clean up group memberships after customer status changes |
| `PLAIN_RUN_GRAPHQL_QUERY` | Run GraphQL Query | Execute any GraphQL query or mutation against Plain API. Use when no specific action exists or for complex operations like thread timelines, advanced filtering, and custom data retrieval. Supports queries, mutations, fragments, and variables. |
| `PLAIN_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message | Tool to send a new message within a thread. Use after identifying the thread and preparing message content. |
| `PLAIN_UPDATE_COMPANY` | Update Company | Upserts (creates or updates) a company in Plain. Provide either companyId (for updating an existing company by ID) or companyDomainName (for upserting by domain). Use this to create new companies, update existing company details (name, domain, contract value), or assign account owners. |
| `PLAIN_UPDATE_THREAD` | Update Thread | Tool to update a thread's title. Use when renaming a thread after confirming its ID. |
| `PLAIN_UPSERT_CUSTOMER` | Upsert Customer | Tool to upsert (create or update) a customer. Use when syncing or ensuring a customer record exists before subsequent actions. |

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

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

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

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