## 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 RunPod.
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 RunPod 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 RunPod
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 RunPod to Atomic Agent

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

The RunPod MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your RunPod account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform RunPod operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `RUNPOD_CREATE_CLUSTER` | Create RunPod Cluster | Tool to create a new GPU cluster for multi-node distributed computing workloads on RunPod. Use when you need to deploy multiple pods with shared configuration for parallel processing, ML training, or HPC workloads. |
| `RUNPOD_CREATE_SECRET` | Create Secret | Tool to create a new secure secret in RunPod for credential management. Use when you need to store sensitive values like API keys, passwords, or tokens that will be accessible in pods and endpoints via environment variables (RUNPOD_SECRET_). |
| `RUNPOD_DELETE_REGISTRY_AUTH` | Delete Container Registry Authentication | Tool to delete container registry authentication from RunPod. Use when you need to remove stored registry credentials. |
| `RUNPOD_DELETE_TEMPLATE` | Delete Template | Tool to remove a RunPod template via GraphQL mutation. Use when you need to delete a template that is no longer needed. The template must not be in use by any pods or assigned to any serverless endpoints, otherwise the operation will fail. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_GPU_TYPES` | Get GPU Types | Tool to retrieve available GPU types and their specifications, pricing, and availability from RunPod. Use when you need to find GPU options for deployment. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_AUTHENTICATED_USER_INFO` | Get authenticated user info | Retrieve basic information about the authenticated user including ID, email, and security settings. Use this to get the current user's ID, email address, terms of service status, and MFA settings. Note: Access to financial fields (balance, spending, etc.) requires elevated API key permissions. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_POD_DETAILS` | Get Pod Details | Retrieve details of a specific RunPod pod by its unique pod ID. Returns pod configuration including GPU count, memory, cost, and status. Use when you need to check the current state or configuration of an existing pod. |
| `RUNPOD_LIST_CPU_TYPES` | List CPU Types | Tool to retrieve available CPU types and their specifications from RunPod. Use when you need to view CPU options for provisioning pods or selecting hardware configurations. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_SERVERLESS_ENDPOINT` | Save Serverless Endpoint | Tool to create or update a RunPod serverless endpoint with GPU configuration and scaling settings. Use when configuring new GPU-accelerated serverless endpoints or modifying existing endpoint parameters. Include 'id' parameter to update an existing endpoint, omit it to create a new one. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_AUTHENTICATION` | Save Container Registry Authentication | Tool to save container registry authentication credentials for accessing private Docker images in RunPod. Use when you need to store credentials for a private container registry. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_TEMPLATE` | Save Template | Tool to create a new RunPod template or update an existing one with container configuration. Use when you need to define reusable pod/serverless configurations with specific images, environment variables, and resource allocations. For serverless templates, always set volumeInGb to 0. |
| `RUNPOD_UPDATE_REGISTRY_AUTH` | Update Registry Auth | Tool to update existing container registry authentication credentials in RunPod. Use when you need to modify the username or password for an existing registry authentication. |
| `RUNPOD_UPDATE_USER_SETTINGS` | Update User Settings | Tool to update current user settings (e.g., SSH public key) in RunPod. Use when you need to configure SSH access to pods by setting the user's SSH public key. |

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

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

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

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